Principles Of Fitness

We believe in strength for real life, not just bulging muscles.

Here at Fit Body Forty, we go back to the basics and incorporate the following values and principles into our training, as they are essential ingredients to your general health and wellbeing.

MOBILITY

Before you can move fast, move for a long time, or even move strongly- you must be able to move! Sounds obvious right? But many fitness programs skip past this essential element. Access your full, natural range-of-motion, and unlock unhindered function of your body. Remove pain at its source and prevent future pain and injury.

STABILITY

We need to hold everything together so that it lasts. Stability of your hips, back and shoulders is like travelling through life on a clear, strong railroad track instead of a rough, uncertain trail. It makes life

MOVEMENT & POSTURE

We move through life the best way we know how, which is inefficient at best and harmful to us at its worst. Good news though, this is easily remedied by the fun process of relearning the natural, mechanically correct skills of moving the body. This makes everyday life easier, leaving you with a surplus of energy and of course helps you avoid repetitive injuries.

STRENGTH

When you’re strong everything in life is lighter! less energy needed to get thing done, leaving you with a reserve at the end of your day (instead of feeling like you’re running on the fumes at the bottom of your fuel tank). Work and play more easily, safely and harder. And it’s a powerful long-term investment!

Strength will carry you through the years, ensuring you can still do all the things important to you for many years to come.

CARDIO & STAMINA

When you adapt to the high output of the training, you will find yourself feeling weak or fatigued less frequently in everyday life. That means you can work harder and longer on what’s more important to you- and play harder and longer doing joyful activities you cherish. And yes, it is healthy for your heart, lungs and circulatory system too!
