add TRX Please!!!

[last8]

I'm getting ready to add TRX to my teaching schedule and I can find nothing similar in the list of activities, no suspension training, no body weight exercise, nothing but weight lifting that would be like it.  It's strange but Nexercise doesn't have aerobic step but they have TRX and fitbit has aerobic step but not TRX.

Body weight exercises are listed as "calisthenics" there is a light intensity (meaning ab work, leg lifts, other milder bodyweight strength exercises) and a "vigorous effort" (i.e. pushups, pullups and other vigorous bodyweight exercises). Oh, I notice on various trackers and "MET Charts" that vigorous calisthenics and circuit training have the same calorie burn and MET value. I took a circuit training class at my gym and one or two of our stations were TRX exercises and the exercises we did fit right in with intensity, so if you are switching between exercises with minimal rests either will be close. I think some people use them for yoga, so if that is what you are doing, I would log it as one of the types of yoga (there are five types of yoga in the database). The TRX exercises I have done are really basically vigorous calisthenics (harder or similar to pushups not quite as hard as pull ups).

Thank you, that makes sense.  I think I'll use one of the calisthenics options.  I teach flow yoga and I put in hatha for that.  My body feels today like I've done vigorous calisthenics after trx yesterday.

I use the boot camp setting.
