TRX or Rings for Suspension Exercises?

Perhaps you've seen those TRX suspension kits online or at the gym and you have wondered whether or not you could use one to help with your gymnastic ring practice.

Well, first it's vital to understand the similarities and differences between gymnastic rings and a TRX kit.

One thing in common is that both of them are very lightweight, permitting you to take them just about wherever you go.

Another massive thing that they both have going for them is they have a unsound nature which gives you the neuro-stimulation advantage of building solid everyday strength and building the gymnastic body. Maybe that is a bit difficult, but fundamentally it is contrasted with stable exercises that someone does on a floor.

Since the rings or TRX hang readily, you develop a few micro-adjustments to maintain your balance, which only builds the foundation of solid and real strength.

Now for some differences:

The handles of the TRX aren't precisely suited for the differing kinds of gripping you can do with gymnastic rings. If you are serious about suspension exercises, you will likely want to ensure you are using something like rings which should make allowances for a selection of different poses.

TRX suspension kits are way more suited for straightforward exercises. Rings on the other hand, can be used for easy exercises as well as more convoluted and advanced exercises. You can really progress and develop when you have rings, while TRX will constrain you to certain exercises.

Plus, rings are a lot cheaper than TRX. Usually they cost at least half as much!

Do not get me wrong, TRX has its time and its place, but if you're really need to get serious about suspension exercises, then you want to go with gymnastic rings.

So , invest in your fitness (and save a couple of dollars) by getting a pair of rings.

Starting with Ring Training?

Hey so, I've been following what Gold Medal Bodies has been talking about a lot lately...

They say that ring training is a great place to start when it comes to fitness skills because it really helps to build a lot of core strength and balance, which can then be applied to other gymnastic things.

This makes sense and I'm excited to get started with all of this.
