TRX Certified Coach

TRX QUALIFICATIONS:

What is TRX training?

TRX which stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise, is a very effective workout method that uses your body weight and gravity as resistance to build strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, core and joint stability.

TRX or Weight Training: Which Is Better?

FOR OVERALL STRENGTH: BOTH ARE EFFECTIVE
When it comes to building overall muscle strength and power, traditional resistance training and TRX work equally well, according to a 2013 study in Journal of Sports Science & Medicine. In another 2013 study in the Journal of Fitness Research, which included both young and older adults, results varied based on participant's ages and area of the body–with TRX proving slightly better for some, traditional strength exercises for others.

FOR CORE STRENGTH: TRX WINS 
Not surprisingly, a 2014 study in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that suspension training provides a better core workout. Researchers tested four suspension exercises (hip abduction in plank, hamstring curl, chest press and 45° row) and found core muscle activity higher than with similar exercises performed on stable and unstable support surfaces (like a weight bench or stability ball).

What is bodyweight training good for?

Bodyweight exercises are a type of strength-training where you use your own weight to provide resistance against gravity.

When you complete a bodyweight workout, you are essentially using your body alone without any other exercise equipment.

In fact, chances are you’ve almost certainly completed some common bodyweight exercises before as they’re often included in other workout programs.

A few well-known bodyweight exercises include:

Bodyweight squats
Walking lunges
Pushups
Planks 
Jumping jacks

 

Bodyweight Training vs Weight Training: Is One Better?

According to the Mayo Clinic, “Bodyweight exercises are just as effective form of strength training as workouts that involve free weights or weight machines.”

But to differentiate between which one is better, the answer would be, that depends.

The important thing to note is that the correct answer for you will depend on your ultimate goal.

If you’re recovering from an injury or are new to fitness, chances are a beginner bodyweight workout is going to be the best outlet to meet you where you are in your fitness journey. 

 

What is Joint Mobility and why it is important for YOU

To get the most out of your strength training or rehabilitation programs you not only need to strengthen the muscles that move and support the joint but you need to maintain normal range of motion of your joints.

Joints have cartilage that provide articular surfaces for shock absorption so that bones are protected when there is a load placed on them. They have ligaments that provide passive support as well as a dense fibrous capsule made out of many collagen fibers that encase the joint and not only provides static support but also provide a type of torque (wind up action) of the joint to help provide a transfer of load to muscles during movement.

Your joints are made to move over a millions of times in a lifetime and so if there is anything in a joint that is compromised and you feel pain or there is swelling the damage has probably already occurred. Mobility of a joint is important to allow better efficiency of these joints so that their movements are not compromised and joints need to be strong so that they move better and in the right position. They need to be mobile enough to allow the muscles to do their job properly. If a joint is stiff there is less ability for the muscle to move the joint through its normal range of motion. The better the joint moves the better the effect the muscles will have.

Unfortunately, when there is muscular weakness around a joint or you have an injury muscles become rigid and have poor contractile ability and the capsule can become thickened reducing its ability to provide the necessary movement the joint needs. This can cause the joint capsule as well as fascia and muscles to become stiff, reducing your ability to improve your strength, also putting you at risk of more injuries and can cause you stress or even chronic pain and anxiety due to your body rigidity and inability to move freely.

 

Once Coach Davide have assessed your joints range of motion as well as its strengths/weaknesses he can prescribe a very specific exercise and mobility program for you.

NASM Credited, Calisthenics Gymnastic Level 3

Qualified at National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

What is Calisthenics?

Calisthenics is a form of physical training focused on teaching you to master your own bodyweight using minimal equipment.

The word calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words kállos (κάλλος), which means "beauty" (to emphasize the aesthetic pleasure that derives from the perfection of the human body), and sthenos (σθένος), meaning "strength" (great mental strength, courage, strength, and determination). 

The practice was recorded in use in Ancient Greece, including the armies of Alexander the Great and the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Calisthenics was also recorded to have been in use in Ancient China. Besides dieting, Han Dynasty physicians also prescribed calisthenics as one of the methods of maintaining one's health.

What is the main purpose of calisthenics?

Calisthenics promote strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination and augment the body's general well-being by placing controllable, regular demands upon the cardiovascular system. The exercises can function as physique builders or serve as warm-ups for more-strenuous sports or exertions.
