TRX Tuesday

Here's the workout I did at home this morning, using a set of 15 lb. dumbbells and a TRX suspension system.  Some of the TRX exercises are ones we will use in next week's Weekday Warrior Bootcamp at the Harris Y...I had to practice them before attempting them in public=)  Thanks to fellow instructor, Mary Dare, and her exercise ideas, we have a FABULOUS day of TRX, Yoga-Strength, and Core Work planned for day 2 of the bootcamp (Tuesday, 10/18).

NOTE: If you do not have access to a TRX system, set up two benches or two chairs about a foot and a half apart (just enough room for your body to fit between them).  You'll be able to mimic almost every exercise, except for the ring rows (pull-ups).
