Our 3 Training Principles
Our training is focused around 3 principles:
1) Constantly varied – Life throws all kinds off things at us, whether it is picking up furniture when moving home or picking up your baby from an awkward position. We have to be ready for the unknown and so we keep our training in the cage constantly varied so that we can be fit for life.
2) Functional – you will not be doing bicep curls at andfit, and you will not be put in a machine. Rather than isolate muscles we focus on big functional movements that mimic everyday movement you do in life like sitting and standing, running and jumping, pushing and pulling.
3) High intensity – To see change and progress we need to work hard and push ourselves to the limits physically and mentally. No reading magazines or watching tv while working at a low intensity for an hour here. As you know our sessions are short and intense, and working alongside others and racing against the clock always has you working at maximal output.
Fitness in a 100 words
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds,
some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep
intake to levels that will support exercise but
not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean,
squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly,
master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups,
dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to
handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.
Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements
in as many combinations and patterns
as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.
Keep workouts short and intense.
Regularly learn and play new sports.
