TRX Exercises target the core.

TRX suspension trainers are ideal for working out your core.  In fact every TRX exercise requires the user to engage their abdominals, hips and low back muscles so that they can leverage their own bodyweight as resistance.

The TRX will help you get a stronger core with every exercise.  Unlike traditional crunches, TRX abdominal exercises will work other muscle groups while targeting your abs.  Ultimately you will get better results by using this more intense form of core training
