Sprinters are often known for their impressive display of lower body power and overall muscular physiques. This exercise mimics the starting position of a sprint to give participants a challenging mix of cardio, power and strength training in one move.
How to: Grab a
strap in each hand and face away from the pivot point. Move forward until the straps are taut and hold them against your sides just above your elbow. Bring your right foot forward in a lunge stance with your heel flat on the ground. Your left foot should be balanced on your forefoot. Bend slightly forward at the torso being sure to keep your back flat. In one motion, push off from your right foot and explode forward (leaving the ground if possible) while driving your left knee up. Allow the TRX to pull you back into position before repeating on the same leg.
