An awsome fitness filled evening in Clapham saw a Fitness 4 All record attendance of 25 athletes dominate an epic 60 minute session!!

A dynamic joint mobilising and muscle activating warm up lead us into a poweful plymometric burst of skipping, hopping and jumping action. Mixing this up with some recovery running to all corners of the Common in our tight nit teams of 6. Strong running from everyone lead into a blast of lower body strength developing exercises rounding off with a battle to the end with a awesome static squat challenge, some amazing leg zapping squat holds for just over 4 minutes were needed to crown the champ.

After a 2 minute break we then mixed faster running in our teams with coordination improving skipping and some lateral strength exercises before finishing off the session with a 4 station circuit. Running dictating the time of the Cardio, core and leg strength exercises.

Brilliant efforts from everyone and hope to see you all again next week for the final session in Clapham for this block of sessions (i will be back very soon!). Be great to see you again next week, please sign up here. Be great to have you along to a GoodGym Group Run in any of the 25 locations around the country!! check out the upcoming events here. These runs combine running with volunteering in the local community and are great fun!

Have a great week,

Silky Smooth strides

Maybe in the last day of summer we had 14 GoodGymers including 4 first timers dominating some running focused fitness fun!

Squeezing off as much running as we could into the final Ray's of day light we got off and running after a mobilising dynamic warm up. Splitting into three pods we reduced the speed from last week but kept to the motto of the Keep moving! running/walking off to different designations of varying lengths and paces we got a solid 25 minutes of near enough continuous moving in, even finishing off by accelerating through the gears for a final push.

With the light hanging on we skipped our way to so form improving drills to get our hips up and powerfully driving into that triple extension position with our lower body. Before splitting into two speedy units to smash out some Indian file running as the light ran out.

With a few minutes in hand we worked on some key body strengthening exercises for runners. Working on leg strength, core stability and some powerful explosive Plyometric moves we worked hard for the final 12 minutes.

A series of static stretches and a loud round of applause rounded off a top evening of Fitness action!

Hope to see you all again for the next 2 weeks at Clapham, please sign up here for 22nd and here for the 29th

Stride smooth
