Be Like Brees: Suspension Training at BTC

Looking for a new type of exercise?

Can’t fit a multi-gym in your house?

Try TRX…

TRX, Total Body Resistance Exercise, is a new and exciting workout tool we have incorporated at Baudry Therapy Center (BTC).  The great news about TRX is that it’s extremely versatile and does not discriminate it’s users as it is adaptable to suit anyone–from young to old, from de-conditioned to the performance athlete.  As a matter of fact TRX is a regular part of Drew Brees’ workout. Who Dat!

TRX is equipment that can be used to gain strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility.  For being such a simple piece of equipment you can do so many exercises with it! It takes up very little space and can provide a wide range of challenges to your musculoskeletal system. Your body weight and angle of pull provide the resistance.  TRX promotes core stability by challenging the trunk stabilizers while isolating different body parts. Beyond being beneficial as a core stabilizer and strengthening tool, the TRX allows for high-level coordination and functional training in all planes of motion.  Strength and stability in all panes of motion guarantees better function and performance.  Just ask Drew Brees…

Come to Baudry Therapy Center to work with our experts and see for yourself what a difference suspension training can do for you! TRX is such a simple piece of equipment yet you can perform so many exercises with it.

Good Morning Exercise!

Are you slow moving in the morning?  Is your back stiff when you wake up? If so, you’re not alone.

Many of us feel this way in the morning. It could be from the activity of the previous day, or just the fact that your body has been sedentary all night. Our bodies crave movement and when we are still at night our bodies tend to get stiff.  Like the oil in our car, our joints have fluids which help them glide better.  Moving helps lubricate the joints allowing them to move more freely.

Try these easy activities to loosen up and jump-start your mornings:

Pull Knees to ChestLie on your back, pull your knees to your chest and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

Rock Knees Back - ForthStill lying on your back and holding your knees to your chest, rock your knees back and forth in a smooth controlled manner for 2-3 minutes.

Arch BackNext, lie on your stomach and press up with your arms to arch your back. Repeat 10 repetitions.

Cross ArmsFinally, sit on the side of the bed, cross your arms across your chest and rotate back and forth. Repeat 30 times each way.
