Strength Training

Author The key to seeing results in any training method is to mix up the workout. Muscle memory helps your body adapt to exercise and eventually instead of training, the muscles are just going through a process. A great way to mix up your training session is by the induction of the Reduxx Trimsuit, which is a weighted vest designed to assist with resistance training.
Your body has its peaks and no matter how many kickboxing sessions or sprints you run, you’ll start to see diminishing results. Adding a weighted suit to any type of workout will instantly wake up the muscles, and make them work harder. The great thing about adding weighted training to your cardio exercise is that when you again approach those peaks, you can simply increase the amount of pounds in the suit.
Using The Suit In Everyday Tasks
The suit is designed with comfort in mind. This convenient approach makes it easier for a person to carry on with everyday chores such as cleaning the house or going for a walk with the children. The great thing is that even though you’re just doing normal things, the body is getting a workout underneath. When you initially start wearing the suit, your tasks are considerably harder. This enables your body to burn calories as the task takes more effort to achieve. If you don the suit religiously, you’ll eventually start to build muscles in your legs and back and you’ll notice a diminishing waistline. Also, by wearing a resistance training suit around the house or at work, you’re also building up endurance and won’t be out of breath doing simple tasks.
Is The Suit Noticeable
The trim suit has the appearance of a body suit so it’s perfectly acceptable to wear around the house or in your backyard. The actual weights are located in the thigh, shoulder, chest, and upper arm so loose fitting clothes can equally fit over top of the suit. In effect, you’re wearing your gym as you don this training suit so do so as you see fit.
The real benefits of weighted training comes when you take off the vest after using it for awhile. You’ll notice more explosiveness, better endurance, and a fitter body just from doing what you’d normally do. If you have chores to do tomorrow, why not call 1-800-434-3344 and do them in a Reduxx TrimSuit? You can also contact us online.

The Reduxx TrimSuit is a weighted vest designed to help individuals gain fitness and lose weight through increased resistance training. The Reduxx TrimSuit is an additional tool that helps men and women burn more calories and tone their bodies while doing normal every day activities, performing athletic training activities or going to the gym.
The TrimSuit is constructed from high quality neoprene fabric that’s designed to move with the wearer’s body so that it doesn’t hinder movement. The only resistance the wearer feels is the resistance of the weights as he or she moves their body. It’s also thin enough that it can be worn under normal every day clothing.
The Reduxx TrimSuit is a weighted body suit that is stylish and provides enough cover that it can be worn by itself around the house, at the gym or on a jog. The suit works by adding additional weight to the wearer’s body. The added weight translates into added resistance which means increased muscle activity.
Women’s Reduxx TrimSuits come with eight pounds of weights, and men’s Reduxx TrimSuits come with ten pounds of weights. The weights are spread across the shoulders, upper arms, chest and thighs to provide a total body resistance workout while performing normal everyday tasks such as vacuuming, folding clothes or performing yard work.
The Reduxx TrimSuit can also be worn while running or jogging to add extra resistance to cardio workouts. It can be worn to the gym to provide extra resistance while biking, using the treadmill, using the elliptical and while lifting weights.
The Reduxx TrimSuit works best with a balanced diet and a regular exercise regime. As with all weight loss devices, consult your doctor prior to use. For more information on the resistance training suit by Reduxx and its benefits or to place an order, call us at 1-800-434-3344.

Virtually everyone these days is trying to get in shape, but with all of the different exercise programs, diet plans and gyms to use, it can be confusing to know what to do and how to do it. On top of that, busy schedules often prevent people from working out, and this can lead to many people giving up on their workout goals. Thankfully, for those trying to lose weight and get in shape while performing everyday tasks, the Reduxx TrimSuit is here to help.
The Reduxx TrimSuit is a weighted suit which can help with resistance training, virtually anytime, anywhere. A resistance training suit offers all of the benefits of a traditional resistance workout, but without the long hours at the gym or confusing workout routines. Essentially, these suits work by adding extra weight to your body while you walk, have a cup of coffee, work in your garden or perform any other type of everyday task. Because of the extra weight, your muscles will have to work harder, and this can lead to more defined muscle tone, weight loss and stronger, healthier muscles.
If you do happen to frequent a gym, these types of suits can help you to increase your workout potential by adding resistance. A resistance workout is often recommended for those who are seeking to add to their cardio routine and wearing a weighted resistance suit or weighted vest while jogging or running can often help to burn extra calories. In fact, no matter what your workout or weight loss goals are, the Reduxx TrimSuit offers all of these benefits and more. Of course, before you begin any type of exercise routine or diet, it’s important to speak with your doctor to determine what will work best for you, as well as to address any health concerns you may have.

In my last post, I began relaying the Eternal Beach Body Workout from Men’s Fitness Magazine and how you can add resistance training to the workout while wearing a weighted exercise suit like the Reduxx TrimSuit. I have added my own comments regarding what I have found in my personal workout with the TrimSuit and this great exercise program from the T.R. Goodman article. Because the TrimSuit holds the weight on your body securely in place via the suit no matter how you move, the resistance training suit is perfectly designed for a workout of this type. The directions below are from Workout 2/Week 1. I recommend you try this workout with your TrimSuit today!
From the Eternal Beach Body Workout article by T.R. Goodman in Men’s Fitness Magazine:
Directions for Phase I [My Edits and Additions in Bold Italic]
FREQUENCY: Perform each workout in numerical order with a day of rest between each. The program includes three workouts per week. Each workout is a circuit that may include exercises from previous workouts but the sequence will be different.
HOW TO DO IT: Perform the exercises as straight sets, completing all the prescribed sets for an exercise before moving on.
WEIGHT: Unless otherwise stated, use the heaviest weight that allows you to complete all the prescribed repetitions for each set. For most of these exercises, you’ll need to be conservative. Focus on keeping perfect form and completing each rep without momentum.
Workout 2/Week 1 of our 12-Week Series
1. External Rotation on Bench
Sets: 2 Reps: 12 Rest: 45 Seconds
Hold a light dumbbell or weight plate in your left hand and lie on a bench on your right side. Bend your elbow 90 degrees and allow your arm to rest against your left side, your left hand over your abs. Keeping your elbow against your side, rotate your forearm toward the ceiling. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Complete 12 reps, switch arms and repeat. The weighted exercise suit adds additional resistance to this exercise with the placement of weights against the upper arm.
2. Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown
Sets: 2 Reps: 12 Rest: 45 Seconds
Sit at a lat-pulldown station and grab the handle outside shoulder width. Pull the bar down to your collarbone, and then reverse the motion to return to the starting position (but don’t allow the weight you’re using to rest on the stack). That’s one rep. The upper body weights in the TrimSuit force you to keep your core tight in order to keep your form during this exercise.
3. One-Arm Lat Pulldown
Sets: 2 Reps: 12 Rest: 45 Seconds
Attach a D-handle to the pulley of a pulldown station and sit facing the machine. Grab the handle with one hand with your arm extended overhead so that you feel tension on the cable. Pull the handle straight down and to the side until your elbow ends up at your side. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Perform 12 reps, and then switch arms and repeat. Similar to the previous exercise, your weighted suit will cause you to tighten your core in order to maintain form throughout the exercise.
4. One-Arm Cable Row, Opposite Arm/Leg
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 45 Seconds
Attach a D-handle to the low pulley of a cable station and sit facing the machine with your left leg against the foot plate and your right leg bent. Grab the handle with your right hand and allow the tension on the cable to pull your body forward, stretching your lat, and then row the handle to the outside of your right hip. Reverse the motion, allowing your right side to rotate toward the cable and stretch. That’s one rep. Perform 10 reps, and then switch sides and repeat. The TrimSuit’s weights positioned on your arms, shoulders and chest will all play a factor in intensifying this workout.
5. Stiff-Legged Deadlift
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 45 Seconds
Hold a barbell in front of your thighs with palms facing you. Keeping your lower back in its natural arch, bend at the hips and slightly at the knees and lower your torso until it’s nearly parallel to the floor. Extend your hips and knees to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. The weighted suit works all muscle groups in the arms, shoulders, back and legs in this exercise.
6. Straight-Bar Cable Curl
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 45 Seconds
Attach a straight bar to the low pulley of a cable station and grab it with an underhand, shoulder-width grip. Keeping your elbows close to your sides, curl the bar up. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. The weights in the suit cause a stabilizing of your core and the lift in the shoulders keeping them up and straight.
7. Seated Dumbbell Curl
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 45 Seconds
Set an adjustable bench to an upright angle, grab a dumbbell in each hand, and sit on the bench. Keeping your elbows braced against your sides, curl the weights, and then lower them back to the starting position. That’s one rep. Again, the Reduxx TrimSuit forces straight posture and the shoulder weights cause resistance while keeping your shoulders straight.
8. Bent-Knee Hip Extension
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 45 Seconds
Set an adjustable bench to a 30- to 45-degree incline, grab a dumbbell in each hand, and sit on the bench. Keeping your elbows braced against your sides, curl the weights, and then lower them back to the starting position. That’s one rep. The placement of the leg weights in our weighted exercise suit makes this an excellent exercise for your hip flexors.
9. Rollouts (High Groove)
Sets: 2 Reps: 15 Rest: 45 Seconds
Lie on your right side with your right leg straight and your left hip and knee bent 90 degrees, suspended over the floor. You can place your left palm on the floor for support. Keeping your right hip bone in contact with the floor, rotate your hips to your right and extend your left hip so that you’re reaching with the left knee, trying to touch it to the floor without losing contact between your right hip bone and the floor. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Complete 15 reps, and then switch sides and repeat. This exercise is enhanced by the upper thigh weights on the TrimSuit.
10. Bent-Knee Static Oblique
Sets: 2 Reps: Hold for 90 Seconds Rest: 45 Seconds
Support yourself on your right elbow and forearm and bend your knees 90 degrees and rest them on the floor. Your body should form a straight line. Hold the position for 90 seconds, and then switch sides and repeat. That’s one set. As in number 8 above, this exercise will be very intense because of the TrimSuit’s placement of all weights across chest, shoulders, arms and legs.
11. Swiss-Ball Crunch
Sets: 2 Reps: 20 Rest: 45 Seconds
Lie back on a Swiss ball so that your hips are supported and allow your abs to stretch. Tuck your chin to your chest and crunch your rib cage toward your pelvis. Lower your body back to the starting position. That’s one rep. I don’t know if you have ever done Swiss-ball crunches, but try throwing in extra weight around your shoulders, chest and upper arms. This exercise is a serious ab and core burner because you have to lift and keep your balance at the same time. The Reduxx TrimSuit gives you much more benefit that doing this exercise without.
You have completed Workout 2/Week 1 wearing your Reduxx TrimSuit. The workout is relatively intense even without the weighted exercise suit. Adding the TrimSuit with targeted resistance to specific muscle groups provides more benefit than performing the exercises alone. Check back for Workout 3/Week 1 and call 1-800-434-3344 to get your Reduxx TrimSuit to provide a powerful resistance training suit to your workout!

The Reduxx TrimSuit allows you to wear resistance training on your body as you go about doing everyday tasks or during your normal workout routine at the gym or another location. An article post from the Mayo Clinic discusses strength training as a vital part of your overall health and fitness program. The strength training article states:
You know exercise is good for you. Ideally, you’re looking for ways to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. If your aerobic workouts aren’t balanced by a proper dose of strength training, though, you’re missing out on a key component of overall health and fitness. Despite its reputation as a “guy” or “jock” thing, strength training is important for everyone. With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently.
Read the rest of the article for more resistance training tips. The Reduxx TrimSuit provides a weighted suit with strategically placed weights to encourage weight loss and calorie burn when used in conjunction with your normal workout routine.
