The Fast Way to Total Fitness

Rest Day today.

Rafting on the St Marys with Kimberley Rafting…..oh yeah!! Good Fun on the S Bends….nice one!!

100-200-300-400-500-400-300-200-100m Row

KB Swings

P1 Rows a distance whilst P2 Swings the Kettle Bell

They swap over, and carry on in this format until the rowing is complete. Take rest as necessary, however the aim is continuous work rate throughout.

Well done to Tom who battled through this workout……nice one!

Great weather and a great result

Kettlebell Workout - enjoying the sunshine @ Easter

So this is it……a fresh approach to fitness in the city of Cranbrook.

Studies have shown that the long boring cardio so long associated with fitness is not the most efficient way to become fit….

And what is fitness?…….

Is fitness the ability to run marathons….to be built like Arnie [him of the Terminator fame]….to be able to pull off the Iron Cross [one of the most difficult of gymnastics moves]…or a combination of all of the above??

In my view, fitness can be defined as the ability to handle whatever lifes throws your way…..

And that is where Total Fitness comes into play

Working together with ourselves and each other, we will foster an approach that will redefine the way in which you work out….each workout will be different, there are no air conditioners, no mirrors and no egos….

I will be posting the workouts we do, with the odd photograph thrown in, on this site for others to see and use, if they so desire.

We will work outside, we will work inside….we will use everyday objects….we will use old school methods…..

Old School Training....pushing a frickin' heavy vehicle up hill!!!

what we will not use is fancy machines found in mirrored rooms……our bodies function as a whole unit and we will train it as such.
