Common workout errors = corrections.
Common TRX Injuries: lower back, knees, wrists and shoulders due to incorrect form on the TRX. We need to teach the TRX exercises correctly, educate and create a more mind-body exercise movement. Train movements not muscles. Engage the core and stabilize the body before movement.
Push ups: too steep of angle, shoulder girdle moving = start easier then move back; stabilize shoulder girdle, neck and wrists. Move with core.
Row/Pull ups: too much slack in straps and pulling up TOO far (past end point) = pull shoulder blades together (lift from back, NOT arms); row to front of body. Establish end movement before movement.
Squats: holding onto straps too tightly, leaning back = re-align shins/knees over ankles to over mid foot. ACTIVATE glutes on bottom of movement- engage then lift up by pressing down into mid foot.
Planks: sway back “hammock” = adjust pelvis, activate TA and PF before lift up. New to planks = planks on mat or knees w/o TRX. Modify. Correct form before intensify! Concentrate on activating deep core muscles. Hold for only 8-15 seconds with 5 seconds break in between sets.
