GPS: Get-up. Pull-up. Squat.
Learn the phases. Then strike a pose as part of your get-up and get going workout routine. With your bodyweight and then with a kettlebell load, the movement can be explored in simple parts, then assemble to induce some sweat and whole lot of strength. On a day where we might be tight for time, practicing with ten get-ups, five per side, provides the right crossroads for effort and efficiency. Then when we have more time to practice and play, we may pair it as part of our favourite training triad — the get-up, pull-up and squat. Over your next training block, or as part of a semester in the studio, feel the benefits of training with the Barres and Bells GPS.
Like our walks around the neighbourhood, or your own training and traveling pursuits, every journey starts with a single point on the map. Where are you now? Your GPS training coordinates are your starting point — let your current ranges of motion, strength, endurance, and ambition help to guide the journey.
A reliable set of coordinates for your training are the GPS: Get-up. Pull up. Squat. These three movements allow participants to establish a baseline of their current abilities, and chart a course towards improvement, mastery and another important goal of physical training — resilience.
Just like a GPS recalibrates when you encounter an obstacle, a this sympathetic and smart training program adjusts when your life gets in the way of your training regiment. Physical and emotional stressors of life are not barriers to prevent training. They are obstacles that can be overcome with a simple set of coordinates to position yourself for success. Triangulate your training positions and orientate yourself towards improvement.
This small group semester, or in your individual pursuits in the gym, what are your fitness coordinates? Are you where you think you are? Are you still heading where you want to go?
Join us in the studio to ensure that your training map aligns with your movement goals and let’s practice together to implement a simplified GPS training approach that looks simple and feels good.
Take care,
Ian and Lauryn
