I’ve put together this free resource to encourage more people to use this free resource and make the most of the summer weather. Not only do you have access to a fantastic free outdoor gym but the path around the park, the nature trail and the Route Tranquil lanes are fantastic to run (jog) around. Work your way through each workout as they are numbered and aim to complete 2 to 3 workouts per week. If you have any feedback or any questions at all please don’t hesitate to email me on [email protected]. Enjoy the gym and your workouts!

THE IMPORTANCE OF A WARM UP A warm up is a very important part of your workout, but more often than not it is the portion of peoples workouts that is left out when time is short. Don’t fall in to this trap! A good warm up should: Raise your core temperature, dilating blood vessels and improving the delivery of blood to the working muscles to improve oxygen delivery and the transportation of waste products of exercises away from the muscles. Improve the flexibility of your muscles and the mobility of your joints to counteract the side effects of too much sitting whilst also improving your range of motion to prevent injury and allow for better movement during your workout. Try this short, mobility routine that will take just 5 minutes and get you ready for your workout. Complete 40 seconds of each exercise with 10 seconds transition between each exercise and complete 1 round. 1. Squat to stand 2. Dirty Dog 3. Spiderman lunge 4. Lateral lunge If your unfamiliar with these exercises be sure to follow along with a video I have filmed of this warm up drills at the link below. https://youtu.be/MYfV_sXPcN8.

  • Facilities Guidance for WEIGHT TRAINING AREAS/GYMS 2 Planning a Weight Training Area Or Gym Or Fitness Room
    facilities guidance for WEIGHT TRAINING AREAS/GYMS 2 Planning a weight training area or gym or fitness room A weight training area or gym as it is commonly known, is really an area where the players in a rugby club or school can safely and productively complete planned resistance training programmes. Younger players or age grade players should ideally be supervised at all times when training in the gym. Adult players ideally require supervised and qualified supervision as well but some exceptions can be made for small group use of the gym for adult players. No player of any age or stage of development should use the gym facility on their own without qualified supervision. This brochure is intended to provide information and guidelines in terms of setting up a gym, the type of equipment that may be used, suggested layouts and some possible alternatives for a resistance training area for clubs that do not have a ready made and available area in their club. Setting up a gym There are four key factors that need to be addressed when considering setting up a gym; • The size and general nature of the facility • The range of resistance training programmes that will operate • The costs associated with the facility and the running of the programmes • Qualified staff to run the facility and programmes 3 Size and general nature of facility Size: Floor: Depending on the programmes that are to be The floor surface should be of a strong resilient undertaken the size of the facility can range from structure. A timber floor is not a good idea as weight a small room (7m x 7m or approx 50m2) to a disks and other resistance training items will fall to the comprehensive spacious area that can occupy an area floor and damage the surface.

  • MF Complete Guide
    The Complete MF Training Guide Getting Started Here’s what you need to know before diving in: 1. It should always be fun. Consistency will be the most important factor in attaining the results you want. The best program is the one you can stick to. If you’re having trouble staying consistent because of an exercise you hate or some other reason in this program, change it and change it early on. 2. Make a schedule for the 3 training days in this program. The odds of you completing every workout in the 30 days go WAY up when you have all 12 workouts scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM. 3. Keep it simple and don’t overthink things. The rest of the information in this guide may get a little technical or heavy on the science. Remember that this fitness stuff is not that serious and we’re exercising to enhance our lives, not add stress. 4. This program is just an outline. If you have to modify it in any way DO NOT feel like you have failed in any way. I designed it with making modifications in mind so that I could give it to anyone at any level of fitness. 5. If you’re going from the couch to this program be sure that you’re warming up properly and have the prerequisite mobility to complete every exercise. If you don’t, I would love for you to take one week to ease into things. The exercises in this program should be challenging but never painful.

  • WORKOUT TIP #5 SAFE LIFTING in the GYM OR on the JOB You Don't Have to Be a Bodybuilder Or Professional Athlete to Reap the Benefits of Weight Training
    WORKOUT TIP #5 SAFE LIFTING IN THE GYM OR ON THE JOB You don't have to be a bodybuilder or professional athlete to reap the benefits of weight training. When done correctly, weight training can help you lose fat, increase your strength and muscle tone, and improve your bone density. If done incorrectly, however, weight training won't give you these benefits — and may even lead to injury. Check your technique You might learn weight training techniques by watching friends or others in the gym, but sometimes what you see isn't safe. Incorrect weight training technique can lead to sprains, strains, fractures and other painful injuries that may hamper your weight training efforts. If you're just getting started, work with a knowledgeable weight training specialist — a physical therapist, athletic trainer or other fitness specialist who's familiar with proper weight training technique. If you've been using weights for a while, consider scheduling time with a trainer to double-check your technique and identify any changes you may need to make. When you're weight training, do: Lift an appropriate amount of weight. Start with a weight you can lift comfortably 12 to 15 times. For most people, a single set of 12 to 15 repetitions with a weight that fatigues the muscles can build strength efficiently and can be as effective as three sets of the same exercise. As you get stronger, gradually increase the amount of weight. Use proper form. Learn to do each exercise correctly. When lifting weights, move through the full range of motion in your joints.

  • Strength Training Fundamentals in Gymnastics Conditioning
    USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: Strength Training Fundamentals in Gymnastics Con...Page 1 of 14 Conditioning Strength Training Fundamentals in Gymnastics Conditioning James J. Major Motor Behavior Laboratory Dept. of Exercise and Sports Science University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah Often coaches must be a jack-of-all-trades, but masters of one. Gymnastics coaches are responsible for not only skill training, routine composition, safety, education, and mental health of their gymnasts, but also their conditioning. To help the coach with conditioning, there is a plethora of advice and equipment. However gymnastics coaches need fundamental information to evaluate these products and suggestions; and yes, even see through the grantsmanship of the sport scientists. Understanding basic principles, coaches can sift through the advice and choose the best conditioning for their gymnasts. To help coaches towards understanding basic principles of strength training, the U.S. Elite Coaches Association for Women's Gymnastics (USECA–W) has had translated an excellent article on strength training fundamentals (Bührle and Werner, 1984). The translation of "The Muscle Hypertrophy Training of the Body Builder" (Bührle and Werner, 1984) is available from the USECA. I want to explain how these fundamentals should be applied in gymnastics. Four basic principles that will help coaches to evaluate strength training are: z Consistent, special strength training is necessary for maximum performance in gymnastics; z Training to increase muscle size and strength is important, but maximum strength from minimum size is the most important training goal; z Rest and recuperation are important aspects of strength training, also in gymnastics; z Strength training must be integrated with the skill training in gymnastics.
