Fat Loss & Conditioning

At Full Circle Fitness our philosophy on fat loss and conditioning is this:
Keep it simple and MAKE IT FUN!
Lots of long distance cardio can be a bit of a bore and research has repeatedly shown that there are other ways of getting very fit and stripping away body fat without the need for hours of cardio.
Our conditioning routines incorporate a range of traditional and non-traditional exercises that are tailored to helping you achieve your goals.
Beginners
For beginners our aim is to pitch your training at a level that is appropriate for you and is safe and enjoyable. We'll spend time working with you to ensure that you work hard enough to get results but without pushing yourself too far to the point of injury or burnout.
| Example session: | Shuttle Runs – medicine ball toss – body weight squat - corrective exercise |
| Rest then repeat for appropriate number of repetitions |
Intermediate
Time to push it up a notch! At this stage we might want to look at increasing the intensity of some of the exercises we use with you. In the example above, we have some low-level recovery exercises. We may consider replacing these with some more demanding things for you to do:
| Example session: | Rope swings - goblet squat - bodyweight press-up - kettlebell swings |
| Rest then repeat for appropriate number of repetitions |
Other techniques we use include less recovery, more sets, heavier loads, faster movements. The list goes on and on!
Advanced / Hardcore!
Want to be superfit? We can do that. Time to really push it hard!
WARNING: Not for everyone! Our advanced conditioning routines are TOUGH. If you have made it this far and really want to crank your fitness up to the next level, read on.
Here we introduce a higher overall level of intensity. Each routine will vary more from the next and incorporate very short but high intensity workouts with some slightly longer but still punishing routines.
| Example session: | Push press - 40m sled drag - chins - back squat |
In terms of the format – nearly anything goes. What is certain is that you’ll be pushed to the limit. If you really want to test yourself, give us a call for a session on us.
Injury Rehabilitation Circuits
It is a fact of life that we occasionally have niggles and injuries. Rehabilitation work can be very boring so why not get fit and rehabilitate an injury at the same time? Here is an example of part of a training session we put together for a client who had a minor calf tear:
| Example session: | Work exercise: rope swings - 30 seconds |
| Rehab exercise during recovery | |
| Repeat x times |
If you would like us to show you how your injury rehab work can be fun AND benefit your fitness then why not give us a call for a session with one of our coaches on the house.
