BETA GROUP – “Foundations” / Beginner Boot Camp

We are looking to start a “Foundations” / Beginner Boot Camp BETA GROUP in May 2018, and we are looking for 8-12 folks to join.

Maybe you like the idea of high – intensity training, but you haven’t worked out for a while, and you want to start slow.

Maybe you want some extra time to focus in and learn proper technique.

Maybe you are coming back for an injury, and you aren’t quite ready for our full-blown boot camp.

Maybe you just want to experience the benefits of a training program like ours, but you just would prefer a slightly “scaled-down” version.

If you are interested, reply back to this message, OR fill out the contact form at the link below, and we’ll shoot you the details:

Hurry, we are looking to get started ASAP!

Personal Training

Group-based workouts have been the core program offering at FVT for years now. And they will continue as a huge part of our program.

But some people just prefer to train alone. Others have a schedule that doesn’t work with our regular workout times. Others have specific goals and needs that are better addressed in this setting.

Whatever the reason, personal training is something folks have been interested in, in the past, but we have not had a lot of availability for.

But we have recently had a few spots open up in our schedule.

So if YOU are interested, let us know!

Simply reply to this message …

… OR fill out the contact form on our website here => http://www.forestvancetraining.com/contact

And we’ll take it from there 🙂

Look forward to hearing from ya! –

5 Minute Daily Mobility Routine (video)

Doing mobility exercises on a daily basis for the last 4 or 5 years now has literally changed my life.

Among the differences I have noticed:

— Aches and pains from various injuries have decreased or even disappeared

— I move better and feel stronger and end up moving MORE throughout the day, and as a result I burn more calories and have gotten noticeably leaner

— My workout performance has improved

It’s really amazing how a simple, five minute routine done every morning has made such a profound difference in the way I feel for the rest of the day.

So if you’re NOT doing joint mobility exercises in your current routine – and you’d like to enjoy some of the same benefits that I have – you gotta start!

That being said, I got two resources for you to check out today.

One is this video. Try the sample joint mobility routine here for 7 days, and see if you can’t feel the difference.

Exercises covered in the clip:

— My “perfect posture” drill
— Hip circles
— Forward / back bend
— Side bend
— Waist twist
— Arm circles
— 3 way neck
— Shoulder shrugs

Second is the FVT Flexibility and Mobility workshop that will be held on Wednesday, May 9th from 6 – 8 pm at the FVT studio.

This special event is open to EVERYONE who wants to improve movement, reduce chronic pain, and “bulletproof” their body!

(video) 3 Simple Foam Roller Exercises

*Spots at our upcoming Flexiblity Workshop on May 9th are filling fast! Only 6 spots left to get the free bonuses (inluding a foam roller like the one I am using in today’s video). Details and sign up below:

http://bit.ly/regenerateworkshop

A foam roller offers many of the same benefits as a sports massage, including:

— improved flexibility
— reduced inflammation, scar tissue and joint stress
— improved circulation

And more.

Perform each of these foam roll exercises each day – first thing in the morning, before your workout, after your workout, or any time you feel like it!

Roll each muscle group for a good 30-60 seconds; when you find a tender spot, hold for a few seconds on that spot until you feel the discomfort go down a bit:

— quads / IT bands
— piriformis
— upper back

Meet Leanne :)

Leanne was around 20 years old when she first started working out.

She had about 30 pounds to lose, so she joined a gym, and hired a trainer!

In about 12 weeks of working with her trainer, she lost the 30 pounds.

This inspired her to get more into fitness, so she got certified, and started training at that gym. She was working one on one with clients while also continuing her own fitness journey.

For the next +/- 15 years, she trained and worked out the same way her previous trainer had taught her; lifting weights and splitting up her workouts each time. And she got okay results, and maintained the weight she had lost and her general fitness level.

Flash forward to 2016 and Leanne’s first boot camp at FVT! 🙂

Leanne’s first workout at FVT was really tough, because it was completely out of her comfort zone, and wasn’t the style of workouts she was used to. She hadn’t used kettlebells before, and there was a lot of cardio involved in the workout.

BUT – she liked how it was different, fresh, and challenging.

Since, Leanne has gone on to become a superstar trainer at FVT, and is a key part of the team and community!

But with the new workout approach and style, she has also made some big time improvements in her personal fitness. She has dropped 27 pounds since she started at FVT, and has kept it off. Her first day deadlifting, she could barely budge 135 off the floor, now she can do over 200. She has gone from swinging the 24 pound KB to doing the 53. She has gone from not being able to do a single pull up, to 6 with great form. And so much more!

We are so proud of you, great job Leanne! Here’s to continuing success in your personal fitness journey, and inspiring our clients to become the best versions of themselves!
