We got the go-ahead from Sac County today to re-open at “10%” capacity as we enter the “red” tier in the CA “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” system.
So, starting this Thursday, October 1st, we will re-open for indoor personal training and semi private personal training programs. Get in touch with your trainer to schedule!
Starting next Monday, October 5th, we will re-open our indoor small group – boot camp program at “10%” capacity. Clients, please check your email and/or the private clients-only FB group for details.
We will continue the remote / online training schedule we currently have.
We will also continue to do the 8am Saturday boot camp in Land Park.
We are excited to be back inside and will be taking every precaution to ensure your safety. We also thank you in advance for continuing to work with us as we do the best we possibly can to serve you, while at the same time keeping you safe.!
If you are a person that does any kind of HIIT-type workouts..
If you are a runner..
If you lift weights regularly..
Or even if you just want an easy way to get moving and start doing these things in the near future..
And ESPECIALLY if you are age 35 or older…
Regular mobility, flexibility and core work is probably one of the most overlooked parts of a training program.
And the cool thing is, in our 30-day Flexibility / Mobility Challenge (our first session was this morning… you still have time to sign up, but this is your last and final call!=>> https://forestvance.wufoo.com/forms/z1cfy6yj1txb47s/) we put all of these elements together into short, simple sequences so that you can:
Improve recovery
Improve conditioning
Increase mobility
Improve overall athleticism
Prevent injury
And much more.
Here is a simple one of these sequences to get you started. Do/hold each pose/stretch for about 60 seconds:
Want to know one of the best indicators of your hip mobility, and ability to move well in general?
It’s the squat.
So I have a simple squat test for you to try.
You can do this right now!… and it will only take about 30 seconds.
Let me know how you do:
#
30-Sec Squat / Mobility Test
1 – Start by standing in front of a wall, so that your chest is about 8-12 inches away.
2 – Do five simple body weight only squats.
3 – On the fifth and final rep, hold in the bottom position for a good 10 seconds.
Watch the video that shows you how to do this here:

Now, go through the checklist below, and see how you did. Answer each question yes or no:
Y/N – My weight wanted to shift to my toes as I lowered myself into the squat
Y/N – My body wanted to tip forward and my face felt like it was going to hit the wall
Y/N – My knees caved in
Y/N – My feet rotated out to be able to get the tops of my thighs below parallel
Y/N – I had to get my feet super wide to get the tops of my thighs below parallel
Y/N – I was not able to get the tops of my thighs below parallel
If you answered yes to at least one of the questions above, you need to work on your squat!
If you don’t, in the short term, you’re decreasing your performance, and making your workouts harder than they need to be… and in the long term, you are likely to get injured.
Show up a few minutes early, get some space in a spare room / in your garage / in the yard / wherever you’re going to do the workout, and be ready for a great one.To keep things simple and accessible as possible for everyone, this workout will be bodyweight only – so no equipment required, just yourself!
We’ll intersperse the workout with cameos from some of our furry friends during the breaks, it should be a lot of fun
On September 19th 2020, we will be hosting a special charity boot camp / adoption event benefiting the Sacramento SPCA.
Since we can’t gather in person in a group right now, this year we’ll be holding the event virtually.We’ll do one of our signature online/remote boot camp workouts on Zoom from 10-1045, and then have time afterwards to “meet” the animals (we’ll have a few furry friends joining us live on video as well)!
1 – The Challenge starts the week of Sept 28th. We will give you a 10-15 minute flexibility / mobility session to do EVERY DAY for the 30-day Challenge. These will be in follow-along, real-time video format. We will film them live, so you can join in and do them with us if it fits your schedule (we’ll have early morning, afternoon / evening, and weekend times going so that we can cater to different people’s schedules and preferences)… but we’ll also provide recordings of all the sessions so that you can do them on your own schedule. Plus, you’ll have lifetime access, so you’ll have an awesome library of stretching / recovery / core sessions to go back to at any time!
2 – At the beginning and end of the Challenge, we’ll have you take some pictures and/or take a few simple movement “tests”, so that you have a way to quantify your progress over the 30 days. (Example: touch your toes, take a picture before and after the challenge, see the difference.)
3 – Free copy of REGENERATE 2.0. This is a special series of six 10-15 minute stretching videos (like the ones we’ll do in the Challenge). The program actually sells regularly for $20 on my website at KettlebellBasics.net, but I’m including it free when you sign up for the Challenge, so that you have something to get started on right away.
4 – WHILE SUPPLIES LAST we’ll give you a free copy of my book, the CORE Kettlebell Challenge, PLUS a free team FVT T shirt when you sign up! My book costs $16.49 if you order it on Amazon, T shirts sell for $20. So this is a great deal. BUT it’s while supplies last. I have about 10 extra books and maybe 20 T shirts of different sizes – so if you want these bonuses, sign up ASAP.
Current clients, we’ll confirm it’s a fit, and send you a sign up link.
New clients, we’ll want to hop on a quick phone call to chat a bit more in depth about your goals, give you more info on our program, and make sure we’re all good to go.
Look forward to working with you!
