Perform each exercise for 60 seconds resting only to transition to the next exercise. Perform the entire sequence one to three times through.

TRX Sprinter Start
Stand facing away from the anchor point holding the handles with your hands next to your chest and the straps under your arms. Walk your feet back until your body is at a 45-degree angle. Reach back with one leg until your working leg is bent at a 90-degree angle. Drive through the ball of your working foot to return to the start.

TRX Inverted Row
Face the TRX Suspension Trainer with your chest directly under the anchor point, holding on to the handles with your palms facing each other. Bend your knees to 90 degrees, brace your core and squeeze your glutes. Draw your shoulder blades together and use your lats to pull your body up until your hands are at the side of your rib cage. Slowly lower your body back down to the start position.

TRX Hamstring Runner
Lay on your back with your heels in the foot cradles, directly under the anchorpoint. Press your heels down and brace your core to lift your hips up. Imagine your are performing a plank on your back. Use your hamstring to pull one heel toward your butt, while keeping the other leg straight. Engage your core the entire time. Send your heel back to the start position in one slow and controlled motion and repeat on the other side.

TRX Atomic Push Up
Start in a pushup position with your feet in the foot cradles of the Suspension Trainer, directly under the anchor point, and your hands under your shoulders. Brace your core and perform a pushup. When you reach the top of the push up, pause for a moment and perform a TRX crunch, drawing your knees toward your chest and pikeing your hips up slightly. Pause for a moment at the top, then lower your hips back down and straighten your legs to return to the start position.

TRX Skaters
Stand facing the TRX Suspension Trainer holding the handles with both hands in front of you and your feet together. Jump to your right side and land on your right foot. Control your momentum by letting your knee bend as you land.  Hop rapidly from side to side.
