Release your inner caveman
Yes it’s March, that time of year when New Year’s resolutions have died a natural death but with any luck you may spot a smidge of sunshine on your way to the tube in the morning. Longer days mean two things: firstly, there is more daylight in the evening to enjoy and secondly, you begin panicking about getting in shape for the summer. For an alternative to the grind and guilt of not going to the gym, learn to run like a cheetah, fight like a lion and gain the strength to wrestle an alligator in the great outdoors with Wildfitness.
Wildfitness, a training programme based around the “wild” movement of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, is launching in London’s parks.
The concept is simple: teach your body to move in the patterns for which it was designed – that is, running away from rhinos on the savannah, take down a gazelle and carry its carcass home for a tasty barbecue, then fire-gazing and flirting over some fermented berries at the local cave until hunger strikes once more.
This is no gimmick - it absolutely works. To release “zoo humans” from the shackles of urban living, fitness experts will take one-hour classes teaching wild running technique, boxing and kettlebells.
With intense workouts and plenty of rest, Wildfitness aims to get you building strength, improving your posture and movement and becoming fit and lean.
Wildfitness runs fitness holidays at a stunning beach location on the Kenyan coast and for the first time is coming to Greece this summer.
But for a weekly local fix, classes will be held in Regent’s Park, Hyde Park and Clapham Common with a maximum of 10 clients.
Those new to “wild” living will have to take personal coaching sessions in the three disciplines to lay the foundations before joining group classes.
Individual training starts from March 17 from £60 per session, while the classes will launch April 28 from £160 for six sessions.
