Fusion Exercises with TRX, BOSU, Adjustable Pull Up Bars, and exercise bands

When you are looking for new exercises that you can do  with TRX, BOSU, or pull up bars...there is a lot of new FUSION programs that put together one or more of these exercise tools to combine benefits and sometimes add new forms of exercise that are just awesome additions to your regular exercise program.

TRX is a cool bodyweight exercise equipment piece that allows you to use your own bodyweight to exercise.  It is portable and quite versatile, and you can do a load of cool exercises on it.  The only restriction is that you really have to be careful to do the exercise movements correctly.  Many people will not have the strength and ability to use this tool properly for full body programs.

Likewise, resistance bands, BOSU and exercise balls are awesome accessories but limited to all the exercises that you can do with them.

A pull up bar can be used for anchoring the bands or TRX and this can be fused with the other accessories for far more challenging exercises to continue your challenge.

I've even found a really cool Adjustable pull up bar, that some in either a free standing pull up bar model or a full gym in a door frame mounted pull up bar model.  With this system you can use the bar for an anchor in the typical high mounted position, but also mid and lower levels which adds an entire battalion of extra exercises that you can then add to the resistance bands or incorporating the BOSU and balls.  Unlike fixed pull up bars, where you can only really do full bodyweight chins or wide grip pull ups, the adjustable bar home and studio gym can do literally all of the full body exercises for functional training that you would otherwise need a room full of other home or studio gym exercise machines to workout on.

I am really happy to see this FUSION exercise mentality utilizing quality exercise machines and accessories  that require very little space for full body exercise machines, and allowing you to fully customize your resistance and exercises quickly to personalize your training programs.

I found a really great demonstration video of FUSION exercises combining TRX, resistance bands, TWIST conditioning products and BOSU below:



Functional training programs are taking a new direction, recognizing the benefits of combining quality pieces and really personalizing the experience so your functional training programs are most appropriate to your needs and support your best fitness success!
