Optimal Fitness Group Training Begins!!

This past Saturday, April, 26th, Optimal Fitness Group Training, kicked off its summer long schedule. I was extremely excited to see people take advantage of the opportunity to workout in an effort to achieve their optimal fitness. Each week the group training session will focus on a different style workout. Saturday began with a short run coupled with Fartlek Training. Other than being a weird word, Fartlek Training is similar to interval training where the intensity is high for a brief period of time and then low for a brief period of time. Our Fartlek training consisted of sprinting the distance between light poles on the bike trail and then jogging slowly to the next light pole and continuing this process down the bike trail for a short period of time. It was a great workout (And I offered anyone who beat me in a sprint a free group training session).
Next, we grabbed our kettelbells and got to work. Since kettelbells are not as widely used as other forms of resistance, the proper technique and form of completing kettelbell lifts were taught. The class caught on quick and we progressed into some challenging lifts. I was very impressed by the brief period of time it took to master the proper technique and form. The class then concluded with some core and abdominal training (everyone’s favorite).
Optimal Fitness Group Training will take a two week hiatus, but will pick back up May 17th. Everyone and anyone who is interested in challenging themselves and learning new ways to workout is strongly encouraged to come out. It’s a great opportunity to get a great workout with a certified personal trainer at a fraction of the cost. I hope to see you May 17th.
