How to do the TRX Pull Through

  1. Begin by securing the suspension trainer to an overhead anchor point and adjust the straps so they hang down around your lower thighs when standing.

  2. Face away from the anchor point, thread your legs between the straps, and position them so the straps rest just above your ankles.

  3. Walk forward a few steps to create tension in the suspension trainer and lean forward slightly to position yourself in a straight line from head to toe, with your arms placed firmly on the ground beneath your shoulders. This is your starting position.

  4. Engage your core and glutes to lift your hips up, pulling the feet towards your hands in a controlled motion, keeping your body straight. Your arms should remain stationary while only your hips move.

  5. Once your hips and knees reach a 90-degree angle, pause briefly at the top, squeezing your glutes.

  6. With control, reverse the motion by pushing your feet away from your hands, extending your hips back down to the starting position without allowing your hips to sag or touch the ground.

  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Make sure to perform the movement through a comfortable range of motion without compromising form. Adjust the difficulty by walking further away from or closer to the anchor point to decrease or increase the resistance.
