SmithShaper® TR-BAR™ SMITHSHAPER

The new SMITHSHAPER® TR-BAR™ is the first multipurpose tee shaped resistance band bar / exerciser of it’s kind. It will improve your aerobic conditioning and balance while strengthening your legs, shoulders, arms and core. It’s an all-in-one fitness trainer capable of SIXTEEN different exercises that can be performed anywhere, inside or outside. Like all SmithShaper exercise equipment solutions, the TR-BAR is portable. Even though it’s a tee shaped device measuring 16 inch x 15.5 inch, it weighs under 3 lb. and can be disassembled and reassembled in less than 5 seconds to fit in a back-pack. Most importantly, the patent pending TR-BAR allows the performance of resistance exercises to tone, shape and build muscle while also keeping it fun. For example, some TR-BAR exercises require physical movement (lateral, forward and backward), some work on your balance and others, such as lying down scissors, will work your abs and core as well as other muscles you may have not worked before.

The TR-BAR is truly special for the physical movement it allows during resistance band exercises. One of the best exercises enabled by the TR-BAR are sideways squat walks while performing resistance band biceps curls or vertical shoulder rows. Moving multiple steps in any direction while simultaneously engaging your arms and legs is why the TR-BAR stands out compared to other resistance band devices. This cardio and strength building workout is NOT possible using a straight resistance bar for two reasons. First, your legs would be restricted laterally with bands perpendicular to the floor and second, most loop bands would not be long enough. The TR-BAR solves this problem because the loop resistance bands connect at a point near the center of your body and form a triangle with your feet.

The TR-BAR also help you to improve your balance as you increase your strength. For example, both the TR-BAR shoulder press and sideways shoulder press exercises require you to do your best to stay balanced with only one foot on the ground. Besides the core strengthening inherent in these combo resistance / balance exercises, the TR-BAR, also enables core strengthening with exercises such as the TR-BAR Sit-ups exercise.

The TR-BAR includes a 16 inch x 1.25 inch padded bar, a 13.5 inch aluminum center post, a 20 in. x 14 in. vinyl adhesive exercise instruction sheet explaining all SIXTEEN exercises, two 42-inch resistance bands, two 36-inch resistance bands, and a round wire pin lock.
