SUMMERTIME IS UPON US AND FOR MANY IT IS WHAT HAS TO BE THE HEIGHT OF ONE’S TRAINING. ALL THE HOURS IN THE GYM, RUNNING AROUND THE COTSWOLDS, HIKING ABOUT OUR HILLS AND GENERALLY KEEPING FIT IS OFTEN MEASURED BY HOW WE SEE OURSELVES IN SHORTS, T-SHIRTS AND SWIMWEAR. It’s not so much about vanity, but rather (and most would agree) about looking and feeling in shape, healthy and fit - it’s the ‘feel good’ factor! In turn it lifts us, enhances our lives and brings about a deeper confidence with who we are.
INFERNO TRAINING (NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED) One of our many summer training plans for 2014 is our Inferno program. It’s not easy! You must be motivated and never miss a training session. But if you can be resolute and stay the course for 6 weeks, you will see quite dramatic changes. The program can be carried out in the gym or at home and even with a variety of substitute equipment if you lack the full complement of essentials.
