Baseball players have started Spring training and one coach has integrated a unique exercise tool into his team’s regimen.
Detroit Tigers head Strength and Conditioning Coach Javair Gillett is using the TRX suspension trainer to prepare his athletes for the grueling 162 game season. Besides the versatility of the exercises you can do, he likes it for training on the road, when they are away from their training facility at Tigers’ Stadium. It fits into a small pouch and is very portable.
It allows you to train different qualities which are vital to sports performance, like balance, strength, flexibility and core stability. He believes it has a strong carryover to athletic movements.
Strengthening the mid and upper back is important for trying to prevent shoulder injuries. It is an area that needs to be strong for posture reasons, also.
Not just for athletes, Gillett thinks it is a great training tool for everyone. “If you improve your athleticism you’ll improve the quality of your life. The TRX lets you do that, anywhere.”
