2nd Annual TRX Challenge - #2

This week's Challenge involves several exercises that most of you will be familiar with, with the exception of 1 or 2.  Nothing too challenging again this week, but some may find performing 20 reps for each exercise a little daunting.  I strategically placed the most challenging exercises at the beginning and at the end.

As with all of my Challenges, I encourage you to make sure to get in a good warm up, consisting of some cardio activity as well as some movement prep exercises.  The entire workout should only take around 3-5 minutes, so the longer the warm up the better to make sure your muscles are prepared.  If you are using the Challenge as a primer prior to your normal workout, 10-15 minutes should be sufficient.

The goal for this week is to complete 20 reps for each exercise (in order),with good form, in the shortest time possible.  Here is a video demonstrating the exercises to help you better understand how to properly do each one.


 Dave Forbes was kind enough to demo the exercises for me.
