Hey all
During lockdown here in the UK I have had friends discover a love of running, cycling, walking. A few of my former rugby buddies have taken this time of uncertainty and are back in so what better shape, after a few years of neglect.
Now, I am biased and when asked what I would recommend for them (most with little or no equipment available) I suggest OS. Daily resets and loading of resets if and/or when appropriate will bring most people great results.
A couple have gone a little ‘off piste’ and revisited the training staples from our pre season rugby days.
Eg:
One has re-embraced shuttle runs.
Another - squat thrusts and the occasional tire flip (tire available at the rugby club, but obviously not at home).
And the third - burpees.
They asked my opinion on them. I spoke about pro’s and con’s, but in reality, they are enjoying moving, getting outside and reliving times of fitness ‘success’ from years gone by, so....
It got me thinking about some of these old movements that optimise all things basic yet don’t get much press time.
What is wrong with the shuttle run
The squat thrust .... and it’s vilified cousin
The burpee??
Have you any guilty pleasures of movements or anything you just don’t like? This could be enlightening haha?
