Sports and TYE4X Feedback
Hockey Player in Ireland learning TYE4X
Below is feedback we received from one of our Instructors Arlene Ryan in Dublin Ireland who recently trained an Irish Hockey player Lizzy Murphy on TYE4X:
When a 6ft athlete walks into your class looking for a real challenge after many years on a reformer, what are you supposed to do?! Hand her some ice skates & say try the reformer now!
That's exactly what happened when Irish Hockey player Lizzy Murphy came knocking, well maybe not exactly........
I replaced the reformer & the skates with TYE4X.
It was her first introduction to it.
See looked at me like I was crazy when I told her this bungee system was her portable reformer.
Initially we tried the routine Lizzy likes on the reformer, side lying with feet in straps. She couldn't believe how much resistance she was feeling from her leg bungees & her armwork was included, how she was forced to use her core for stability and not depend on a reformer under her, how the harness gave her feedback on her breathing.
She was shocked at the breathing..... something we all take for granted & maybe don't execute on the reformer as we should.
We moved onto marching while in a bridge to challenge her balance, with added tricep & bicep activation.
Next came her chest expansion work, that was a different level to what she has felt before, with added rotation which is an asset for her career. The arm bungees neatly moved with her body for extra resistance.
About 20mins into the session I showed her hip extensions, Hockey players have very tight hips, so using different bungee wraps this section was proving very difficult for her. Although she understands the benefit there may have been one or two screams!!!
Lizzy is now happy & confident using TYE4X as part of her training sessions.
