One of the greatest motivators and inspirations for me is the motivation of my clients themselves. The majority of clients training with Fitcorp Asia are professionals and therefore dedicated, ambitious and focused. They also have very high expectations of themselves to perform both in and out of the office. That same dedication is applied to their training also. Unfortunately, one of the greatest ways to disrupt their routine is travel. It’s a fact of business and it’s a fact of life. Travel doesn’t have to result in an interruption of your healthy habits. You can still fit in exercise time while travelling.
Not all travel destinations have the most appropriate facilities; hence we adopt a functional approach to training. Fitcorp Asia has developed a unique and effective form of training called FITS – Functional Integrated Training System. FITS allows us to train the body as a system, mimicking movements that we perform in every day life. FITS removes the external support provided by the machine to work multiple muscle groups in “integration” – as the body is intended to move.
FITS uses minimal equipment – you can train anywhere, anytime, with an amazing degree of intensity. This equals to higher energy expenditure, greater body fat loss. Results are guaranteed. FITS enhances coordination, balance, speed, muscular strength and endurance, speed and core stability. Here is an example of the perfect travelling workout: Repeat the routine twice over. This should take a total of 18-20 minutes.
Jump Rope for 5 minutes
Stretch
Squat and Press (Tubes)
Functional Push Ups with Rotation
Lunges
Seated Row (Tubes)
Abdominal crunches
Jump Rope for 5 minutes
Here are a few tips we offer our clients to ensure our clients don’t lose any of their hard earned achievements while on the road, arrive fresh and are as productive while they are away as they are when they are training with us.
oBe realistic. Aim to complete 15-20 minutes of exercise per day with a variety of CV and strength training. This will guarantee you maintain your levels of fitness while away.
oPack your jump rope for cardiovascular training. Skipping increases the heart rate, burn a lot of calories and is great for improving endurance, core stability, coordination, balance and foot speed.
oPack your resistance tubes. Tubes are a fantastic option for strength training. Exercises are for the entire body, they allow you to train anywhere, anytime with results.
Some other tips:
oExercise before you leave. This will keep your metabolism high during your flight.
oStay well hydrated. Drink one glass for every hour while on the plane and avoid alcohol and coffee.
oNever travel hungry.
oWalk and stretch every hour while on the plane to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle stiffness, fatigue and jet lag.
oWhen you arrive try to get outside. The sun will automatically help to reset your body clock.
