Down to Earth Fitness

14/06/2022

Hi all, just wanted to post a huge thanks to all the Down to Earth clients who have expressed their love and gratitude to Darren and the outpouring of love, cards, flowers, baking, gifts and kind words and hugs Jack, Jenna and I have received since his passing. It has been overwhelming but sincerely appreciated.

As Darren was "Down to Earth" and cannot ever be replaced, the gym will not re-open.

However if you want to keep up those good habits and are interested in acquiring any gym equipment please let me know by messaging the page or contacting me direct.

Hi guys, just touching base to see how things are going? I have come up with some options for your self isolation workouts.
I’m guessing that some of you have weights at home and others may not. I have come up with with eight challenges that you can work on over the next month fingers crossed 🤞. These all have options for all fitness levels.
1. 2.4km walk-jog- run Measure 1.2km from your house. Every second day you can complete this course. Record your time with the aim on improving each session. Remember the social distancing when you’re out.
2. Plank- Starting with your elbows on the ground, back straight, bracing your core and keeping your hips level. Go for as long as you can maintain good posture. Record your time and aim to improve each time.
3. Wall sit Place your back up against the wall sliding down until your hips are inline with your knees. Record your time and aim to improve each time.
Burpees- This is to be done at a slow tempo. Starting in a standing position with your arms above your head, go down into a crouch position count 1-2 then jump/step your feet back count 1-2 jump/step back to crouch position count 1-2 then standing up with your arms above your head count 1-2 then repeat. This can be one session continuing through till you can’t do anymore!
4.Box jumps step ups- Starting in a squat position jumping vertically onto a solid platform. Start out low and working your way up. Step ups, place one foot on a step, box,chair stepping all the way up and down. Leave the foot on the box. Repeat until you have had enough then switch legs.
5. 20m walking lunges mark out a 20m or 10m as out and back if space is limited. Taking long strides lowering your back knee towards the ground standing up straight then repeat. Rest at the end then repeat. Challenge yourself to do as many as you can.
6. Crunches- lying on the floor bend your knees so your feet are flat on the ground. With straight arms place your hands on your quads/legs. You will then proceed by sliding your hands up your legs aiming to get your wrist past your knees then lowering back down then repeat.
7. Press ups Starting in a plank position with your head in front of you hands lowering down then pressing back up. You can also start with your knees on the ground or begin lying on your tummy then pushing up then down.
It’s about having good and posture smooth action.
8. Squats- Sitting on the edge of a chair arms out in front standup sitting down and repeat aim to do as many as you can.
