I’m excited to have a new total body workout workout to share with you that combines two of my favorite training tools…supersets and the TRX!
My clients love the TRX and I also enjoy incorporating it into my own workouts. Last week I put together a total body superset workout (read about supersets and why I love them in this post) that I put several of my clients and myself through. It got great feedback from clients and I loved the total body workout I got from it!
I designed the supersets in this workout to feature hitting the same muscle group back to back with 15 reps of a weighted dumbbell exercise followed by 15 reps of a bodyweight TRX exercise. The result is total burnout of the muscle group by the end of the 30 reps. You repeat the entire workout two times through.
The key to really getting your money’s worth out of this workout is picking up a challenging weight for the dumbbell exercises. I pushed myself to go up to the next heaviest weight on almost everything. Also, don’t let the form get sloppy on the TRX exercises. Really focus on keeping everything nice and tight with full range of motion and perfect form.
Here are links to videos for the TRX exercises if you are unfamiliar:
TRX Push Ups
TRX Rows
TRX Jump Squats
TRX Triceps Extension
TRX Bicep Extension
TRX Lunge with Knee Lift (like this but just tap the toe behind you in a lunge and drive knee into chest as you come up)
TRX Knee Tucks
Tip: You control the intensity on the TRX upper body exercises with your body position. The more vertical you are the easier it will be and the more horizontal you are, the harder it will be.
Happy sweating and as always, I’d love your feedback if you try the workout.

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
