Last month, I tried a workout so challenging that when I finished, I swear even my eyebrows hurt.
That was before I learned that Crews is a finalist for the IDEA World Instructor of the Year (for the second year in a row).
And before I actually started the workout.
Here’s how the TRX system works: You use your own weight as resistance, adjusting the angle of your body and position of
your feet to make the exercise easier or harder. This last part is key, because it allows Crews to kick the butt of an
aiming-for-the-pros athlete, then train an 80-something guy on the very same equipment.
The same equipment that TRX, after a dozen exercises, had every fiber of my being screaming for mercy. The hardest hit area: my core, since virtually every move requires your ab and back muscles to stabilize you on those swaying straps.
