I’ve completed 2 full Hyrox challenges and can honestly say it’s a very tough event. I’ll be working with Katie and Jude initially to help improve their mobility ( this is absolutely key) and build on their overall strength. Then we will move on to the individual elements. I’ll be posting regular updates.

Our CEO Katie Knapton and Judith Wilson from Weston Partnership who looks after our PR and marketing are teaming up for Hyrox 23 in London later this year. Eight challenging elements each interspersed with a 1km run. Robert Tvardek from Fighting Fit with Rob, one of our partners, is on hand to help with the training.

Another satisfied online client!
Sam : “I’m just starting month 3 and my clothes are tighter in the right places now but more importantly I am motivated and feeling great. The weekly checkins with Rob hold me accountable to the exercise and diet plan and his feedback is invaluable. Rob is hugely knowledgeable and he takes into account historical injuries to ensure that I can get stronger and fitter but remain injury free. His advice is supported by a great app which is easy to use.

Steady run/walk in this hot weather.
It is important to stay active even during these hot days. It is hard, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
You do not have to run, go for a walk, find some nice countryside pathways, and do some steps👍😇

Sweat and burning calories.
So what is sweat?
Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts. Its main function is to control body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools. An additional function of sweat is to help with gripping, by slightly moistening the palms.
Does it mean I burn calories?
Lots of people think that if they sweat more, they burn more. This is simply not true. You can see people sweat out litres of it, and also people who don't sweat at all. So NO, sweat doesn't equal calorie burn.

SLED PULL? Hell yeaaaah...
The sled pull is perfect for building power, strength, and overall muscle mass. The reason behind this is that the sled pull causes your muscles to contract over long durations. This workout also works your back, shoulders, biceps, and grip muscles.

Going on holiday? Why stop care about your mobility? 10 minutes in the morning and you will feel much better!
Big up to Jude, this is what she sent from sunny Mallorca:

Hi Rob just wanted to let you know that I am doing the mobility exercises you gave me on holiday every day and they are really doing the trick. Looking forward to training again next week and thanks again.

Mobility training is the very foundation of any type of training and is often overlooked.
My clients are very aware that this makes me really angry. Do not underestimate mobility, there will be a time when you ask: " Why didn't I listen!"

Lat pull down
The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise to strengthen the latissimus dorsi muscle ( some people call it the wings ), the broadest muscle in your back, which promotes good postures and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and get the best result. So sit straight, avoid leaning back too much and pull the bar down until you squeeze your shoulder blades together - the bar shouldn't touch your chest. Do not go too heavy to show off, lat pull downs work well with a lower weight and complete control rather than smashing the heavy weights and leaning back like you want take a nap!
It's also a good alternative to the pull ups if you are not strong enough to do them without assistance.
Lat exercises are good for achieving a stronger back, reducing the risk of injury, stabilising the spine and overall core support. And - it looks good !😃
