Not all exercise is good for people and in some cases incorrect training can cause permanent damage to ligaments and joints; this is especially true when people train with weights. Another mistake that is often made is when all the muscles groups are not trained; this leads to bad postures and a terribly odd looking build.
This is where Urban Fitness Outdoor, more commonly known as UFO, comes in and offers a dynamic, well-rounded training programme. As the name says, it is totally outdoors and has everything provided for you including water (just to make sure you keep hydrated).
UFO is mainly group based, although you can get woman only training sessions and private sessions for individuals, couples or a few friends. The sessions all have one thing in common; they aim to help you tone muscle, lose weight, get strong and more importantly have fun while you do it.
Every session is unique and your entire body will be worked from head to toe. The qualified fitness professionals will take you through various exercises focusing on different muscle groups including your core muscles. Resistance is provided by your fellow trainees who have been grouped according to their fitness and strength; if you have not run in 10 years you will find yourself with people who have not either.
The best thing to do is to give it a try for yourself and UFO offer an entirely free trial session. Give it a try; you will really enjoy it. There are currently five venues in Johannesburg and Pretoria, check out the UFO venue page for more info and directions.
