If increasing your fitness is your focus, there’s very few that’ll benefit your body quite as much as good old circuit training.
If you’re not familiar, circuit training is defined as a workout technique that utilizes a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest between - often with the focus on different pieces of equipment, although not necessary.
In this day and age, we’re lucky if we get to get away from the office and spend a good chunk of the day on our feet and in the great outdoors.
It’s unfortunate, but for many of us, it’s a reality we can’t avoid.
When it comes to racket sports, it’s hard to beat the fast-paced game of squash when you’re looking for a great game to play.
It’s easy to get into, can be seriously competitive (if you want it to be) and is bags of fun.
If you’re looking to get active, get social and get outdoors, there’s nothing better than walking for a step in the right direction.
With plenty of great treks, hikes and routes all over the world, all you really need is a good pair of shoes and the sky really is the limit.
Tennis has been played since 1859 and hasn’t changed a great deal since.
You only really need 3 things to play: A couple of rackets, a net and a ball is all your really need to get started (and a precisely laid out court but who’s counting).
Gymnastics is up there with some of the most challenging and demanding physical activities that a human can possibly undertake.
Gymnasts put themselves under immense physical and mental pressure to perform exercises and feats of strength whether it be as part of a hobby, competitor or career with top level athletes reaching olympics level.
Football, or soccer if you’re reading this in the US, is a great way to get active, build fitness and implement a team sport into a health routine.
There’s plenty of different drills, games and options when it comes to playing the game, but it might come a surprise to many of us that there’s a variety of health benefits associated with the game.
Wrestling, if you’re not aware, is the sport of grappling with an opponent with the aim to throw or hold them to the ground.
Although not as much of a well practiced sport in the UK, wrestling is huge in the US with high schools offering the sport as regularly as football in the land of the tea.
Weightlifting comes in many forms. Whether it’s hypertrophy work (for muscle), strength work (for erm...strength) or olympic lifting (for the olympics).
But the act of lifting up heavy objects and putting them back down again has a variety of key benefits on the body that a lot of us might be surprised by.
Running. Running is the one sport that just about all of us with a working pair of legs can participate in. There’s no necessary equipment, no flashy membership required. Just your feet and a strong mental state to keep on pushing.
Boxing is one of the biggest talking points in 2019.
With the recent Conor Mcgregor vs. Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder fights in the public eye - more and more people are putting on the gloves and heading into the iron paradise.
Yoga is seemingly absolutely everywhere in 2019 and there’s no escaping it here either (sorry).
Regular yoga, hot yoga, cat yoga and well… every type of yoga is smashing through the media and greeting us in every direction.
Cycling gets a bad rap these days, and frankly we can’t see why.
There’s often no better feeling that feeling cool air running through your hair (you should always wear a helmet, but for arguments sake this point is staying) when you’re pedaling hard on two wheels. But it doesn’t just feel great...
Swimming is probably the number 1 life skill that we all don’t do quite enough of - unless you’re Ross Edgley of course (see the guy who’s just swam around the UK).
But swimming can do a lot more for you than save your life in an emergency situation.
