TRX workouts are for everyone, no matter your fitness level. The great thing about suspension training is that there are lots of modifications for every exercise for beginners to advanced TRX users. Don’t be intimidated by the hanging straps or the thought of suspending your body. There are many levels to the TRX trainer, allowing you to suspend your body or work from a standing position. #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic#gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow #gymgirl #gymmemes #gymlove #sportcentral247 #richmondgym #vanfitfam #sportcentral #gymnastics

No matter which negative thoughts tend to run around your mind, working to replace them with positive thoughts can take time. Learning to spot self-limiting beliefs, all-or-nothing thinking, or dwelling is one thing, but learning to quiet those thoughts is another thing entirely. If at first you don’t succeed, don’t fret. Instead, take a deep breath and try again. As you work towards improving your mindfulness and your mental toughness, remember that you’re going to get bette...r with time. To make things a little easier, it helps to connect with your purpose. #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow

Ab Wheel Rollouts provide a better ab workout than traditional flexion exercises, creating stronger and more defined absif improving your looks is a goal. Also, strong abs protect your spine and prevent energy leaks, which sap power and strength from your sports skills. #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow

A prowler is a specific type of sled that allows you to load multiple plates onto it to increase the resistance that one must work against when pushing (or pulling the sled/weight). This can also have a variety of handle placements (high, low, vertical, horizontal) to help coaches and athletes train a wide array of angles. Increased muscle hypertrophy is a primary benefit from doing long duration (45-90 seconds) prowler pushes. By pushing the sled at the above angles, you cha...llenge the quads, glutes, abdominals, erectors,and upper body to stay rigid and contract for prolonged periods of time, which has been shown (time under tension training) to increase muscle growth. This is a great way for lifters who have injuries and/or are trying to limit spinal loading yet looking to add quality muscle mass and training volume within their training programs. #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow

We’re always told to stay active and get regular exercise. But whether you’re training for a competition or feeling extra motivated, more isn’t always better. Rest days are just as important as exercise. In fact, a successful fitness regimen isn’t complete without rest days. Taking regular breaks allows your body to recover and repair. It’s a critical part of progress, regardless of your fitness level or sport. Otherwise, skipping rest days can lead to overtraining or burnout.... #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow

Because the rings are not fixed, they provide a very different challenge to exercises that are, such as conventional pull ups on a pull up bar. An example of the benefits of instability is the unstable push up. When done holding the rings a few inches above the ground, a whole new element of complexity comes into the movement. You are having to balance your body as you perform the push up, which fully engages the core. The very act of supporting your body in mid air is also p...lacing a lot more stress upon the prime mover, the pectoral muscles. And, as you know, more stress on the working muscle means more strength and muscle growth. #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow

Ropes are significant in that they create a dual-force dynamic effect, one that uses the force of gravity and the force created by rope waves to amplify and improve all of the human systems physiological response. Most of the implements people use today increase the effects of gravity on the body, creating a physiological response in the systems the trainer, student, or person is trying to improve or build adaptations. For instance, if a body builder is trying to grow adaptat...ions in his or her musculature, he or she will create moderate to excessive load on the musculature (as well as cardiovascular, pulmonary, and nervous systems) day after day and week after week using gravity-based implements (i.e. barbell, dumbbell, etc.), and it works. #sportcentral #vanfitfam #health #healthy #nutrition #minerals #fitness #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitnessaddict #body #active #train #fitlife #strength #health #healthy #strong #bodyfitness #fitnessjourney #gymaholic #gymmotivation #gymtime #gymfreak #gymlife #gymrat #gymaddict #gymflow
