While I can Google some exercises and training programmes, I can easily see myself going a little overboard to start with, so I wondered does anyone else use them? How much did you start with? Any specific exercises you found really good? Ta

Could you get a one off plan from them and do that? I went to a TRX class and it was amazing, sadly it was too expensive to keep up but yeah, you feel it enough doing a normal session so you don't want to overdo it.

I wanted a set for home for quick workouts and for err...not falling on my face in public 😜 Maybe the trainers won't notice when I casually stalk them during their sessions... I did a bit yesterday, triceps sore today but nothing else which is surprising, thought I might split something during plank to a pathetically little knee tucks!

Pegg Dec 2023 12:27pm, 7 Dec 2023 388 posts	0 Pegg I'm resurrecting this thread! My husband has been looking at TRX for a while. He lives out of his van for a lot of the year, all around the country, and really likes strength training - tricky when you're often on the move. He showed me a link to a GymProLuxe system but the reviews seem to all say the bands break quite quickly and it's hard to get replacements. So I'm back looking at the TRX. But which 'bit' do I go for as a Christmas gift? Is the TRX Pro4 System the 'starter' bit? Or is there something else on the market that I should be looking at? All help appreciated!
