Video blog - post gastric sleeve journey! 12 weeks and 5 days out.

TRX SESSION. Movement vs static holds.
If you’re having a bad day or you’re in pain try modifying your trx session to static holds of 20-30 seconds instead of doing the full movement.
Here is an example of how I modified last weeks group session so the 2 ladies feeling strong could work with movement , and the 1 lady who was dealing with body pain and fatigue could still train working with static holds.

At the moment being post gastric sleeve I can’t sustain doing 4 rounds of 10 reps as it places too much pressure on my core, so to film this I did one set of movement and one set of static holds. I listened to my body when it said pain was setting into my abdomen and began to stretch and cool down. Was it short work out? Yes. Is it still effective? Yes.

All I needed was my coffee table. 💪🏻💪🏻
