Extra Fitness examples
Not all of us can make it to training every week & often struggle to either get motivation to train separately or come up with things to do.
Here are a couple of exercises that will help your prep for champs or just day to day fitness.
Tommy Fox is running fitness sessions every Thursday, so try and get along to those. If you can’t have a go at these little beautys!
Send a photo through to the chat if you do get out for a session by yourself.
