Instructions for Proper Form
The TRX Fallout is a comprehensive exercise that strengthens the core, shoulders, and chest by extending the arms in front while maintaining stability. This challenging variation not only enhances core stability but also improves upper body strength, offering a dynamic and effective range of motion.
- Grab ahold the TRX handles at waist level facing away from the anchor point and making sure there is no slack in the straps.
- Brace your core by breathing into your stomach and flexing the abdominal muscles to avoid any arching in your lower back or any flexion in the hips.
- Lean forward so that your heels come off the ground placing your body at a 60 degree angle with the floor allowing your arms to be outstretched in front of your shoulders.
- While keeping your arms only slightly flexed, flex your shoulders overhead allowing your body to descend to a 45 degree angle with the floor.
- Forcefully exhale through parse lips to return to the starting position.

Alternative Exercises to TRX Fallout
1. TRX Row
37.7 mSCORESWAPPED 15 TIMESTRX Row is a compound, bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the back. The use of a TRX strap helps to prevent compensating for strength discrepancies between sides, while also adding some instability to the movement. You can also easily add or remove resistance during your set by stepping your feet closer or further from the anchor point. This is a great exercise for adding some variety to your rows, as well as building strength.
2. Crunches
94 mSCORESWAPPED 15 TIMESCrunches are one of the most common exercises out there. It’s an easy to perform, bodyweight exercise that targets your abdominals. Crunches are very similar to Sit Ups, however, instead of raising your upper body all the way into a near sitting position, you only raise your shoulder blades off the ground. This is a great exercise for beginners looking to build core strength.

3. TRX Ab Rollout
62.3 mSCORESWAPPED 11 TIMESSimilar to the traditional ab rollout, the TRX Ab Rollout challenges the core muscles through an extended range of motion. This exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles, improves core stability, and enhances shoulder strength, making it a powerful tool for building a strong, functional core.
4. Plank
92.8 mSCORESWAPPED 10 TIMESPlanks are one of the most common core exercises out there. This is a bodyweight exercise that is performed for time rather than reps. Planks don’t require any movement, instead they force you to place yourself in a position that requires you to engage your core, and maintain that muscle activation for the duration of the exercise. This is a great way to help build strength and stability in a way that will translate to a variety of other exercises, and your daily life.

5. Flutter Kicks
88 mSCORESWAPPED 7 TIMESFlutter Kicks are a bodyweight core exercise that have you lay on a bench with your legs extended out over one end. This exercise is very similar to Scissor Kicks with the added benefit of having more room under your legs. This can give you a bit more range of motion as your leg descends.

6. Bicycle Crunch
91.8 mSCORESWAPPED 7 TIMESBicycle Crunch is a more difficult version of a standard crunch. Instead of raising your torso off the ground for each rep, you keep your torso off the ground, and your core engaged. By cycling your legs, you add more instability to the movement, which leads to better core activation.

7. Ab Rollout
70.3 mSCORESWAPPED 6 TIMESAb Rollout is a compound exercise that primarily targets the core. Using an ab roller, this movement challenges your ability to maintain stability as you extend your body parallel to the ground. This exercise is great for developing core strength and stability, which can translate to better performance in other strength-training movements. The instability and range of motion make this a more challenging core exercise.

8. Exercise Ball Crunch
79.2 mSCORESWAPPED 6 TIMESExercise Ball Crunch is a weighted variation of the standard Crunch. By holding a medicine ball, you can add more weight to this usually bodyweight exercise. This is a great variation for anyone looking to make their crunches more challenging.

9. TRX Resisted Rotation 1
59.6 mSCORESWAPPED 6 TIMESTRX Resisted Rotation 1 is an exercise that requires you to essentially begin to fall sideways before engaging your core to resist that movement, and pull yourself back to a standing position. This is a great exercise for developing core strength and stability, as well as a great exercise for improving overall balance. Because you’re holding the TRX straps in your hands, you’ll also be getting some work for your shoulders.
10. Sit Up
93.8 mSCORESWAPPED 6 TIMESSit Up is one of the most common exercises out there. It’s a bodyweight exercise that targets your core. Sit Ups are very similar to Crunches, however, rather than raising just your shoulder blades off the ground, you raise your entire upper body. This gives you a bit more range of motion than Crunches, however you’ll start to lose some tension in your core at the top of the movement.
