HI Your Fit Day Fans!
Last update I mentioned putting together a team of experts who could help me get prepared for my upcoming hip surgery. I needed to start thinking outside of the box regarding my current routine, and putting in other methods of training that would still keep me in peak physical shape. And Since I didn’t want to compromise my current level of strength and fitness, the workouts would still have to be challenging enough to work my entire body and keep me fit.
In May I visited with Ed Le Cara at Sports Plus in Pleasanton, CA where he assessed my body for weaknesses. After an hour of all sorts of tests where I lunged, squatted, and walked over knee high barriers like I was in the Westminster Dog Show, Ed had enough information to put together a program for me to work on for a few weeks.
Here is quick video of Ed’s TRX training studio. I wish I had a studio like Ed’s!
I had a lot of people ask me: what is this TRX you speak of? Well, I’ll let this guy tell you all about it… and I betcha your fingers will skip on over to that link below to get your own. And if you’re not convinced by then, well…just keep re looping the video, and at least you’ll get a good ab workout from laughing so much!
You can also check them out here; and yes, I’m an affiliate because I love them so much!!
In the next few months you will learn more exercises as I progress through my pre hab program with ED. And since TRX is the future of fitness NOW, I intend to get certified in the TRX system.
The Power Of The TRX System
The beauty of using the TRX is that it can help strengthen muscle weaknesses as well as build upon the strength and muscle you already have, creating a fit, stronger and better balanced body. So for my Prehab it is challenging enough for all my needs.
With the TRX you can perform 100’s of exercises that enable you to build strength, power, agility, balance, mobility (definitely something I will be working on pre and post hip surgery); as well as lose weight and get that lean green machine you always dreamed of. You can work at the intensity you choose simply by shifting your body position. It’s that simple.
Fitness In A Bag
The TRX is easy to set up, and packed in it’s own small mesh bag it’s no larger than one of The SAK bags I hauled my junk around in the 90’s! Remember those little bags?
And it only takes a few minutes to set up, using the door anchor, wall mount or slinging it over a tree, for instance. You can have your own gym in your home, office, at the park, or even at the gym.
A gym at the gym?
Trust me, it’s not like taking sand to the beach! Because when it’s cold and wet outside simply stow this in your backpack, take it to the gym, loop it over a high bar, and never wait for equipment again!
Let’s get into shape!
The TRX will be the one of the main pieces of equipment that I’ll be implementing into my current exercise program. And not to worry because all of the equipment that I use and the exercises that I do, whether for Pre-hab or for my daily workout, are exercises and routines that you can do too.
So don’t just think that you have to be injured to do these exercises in my videos coming in the next posts. Because believe you me, they can be very challenging. And if you work on weaving these into your routine, or even if you’re just starting a fitness program, these exercises will be more than enough to get you going.
Remember, all of the equipment that I use and the exercises that I do will get you into the best shape of your life. So follow me on my blog so we can get into and stay in the best shape of our lives.
I can’t wait to learn more exercises with the TRX and pass them along to all of you. In fact, I plan to become a TRXher! Get it?!! Ha! Ha!
So stay tuned and keep following…
Have you had some TRX yet?

Your Trainer,
