In Full
Swing at the PhillyFit Retreat...
February 1, 2008
Karen Goeller, author of the Swing Fitness
books, offered a swing workout seminar to a group of people attending the PhillyFit
Retreat on January 31, 2008. This health and fitness event was for those in need
of time to rejuvenate and get back into a fitness program.
The participants in this group ranged from stay at home moms who had not exercised in a very long
time to those already in top shape including a tri-athlete and a martial
artist. Although the participants were at different fitness levels, the
swing workout was still appropriate for all. That is because each exercise can be
modified for those new to the workout scene and those who are already in great
shape.
For
example, the pull up can be performed above the swing or beneath the swing in a
modified position. The person performing the modified pull up stands at a 45
degree angle holding the swing as they pull their chest toward the swing. With
the modified pull up the person is only pulling a portion of their weight.
All of the participants had positive feedback during and after the event. The
most common feedback received by Goeller was, "Great workout!" When asked
about the event Karen Goeller stated, "I was nervous before we started
because this was the first group I have worked with in a long time. A group
class is so much different from an individual training session. Once the workout
was in full swing everyone seemed to be very pleased as they moved through each
exercise." Since this group included so many fitness professionals, the
ideas continued to flow and the enthusiasm remained high. The people with
exercise backgrounds helped those just starting to exercise.
As
Karen Goeller introduced each exercise she reminded the participants to hold the chains
securely and make sure they were comfortable before they started to move. There
were leg exercises, chest exercises, and core exercises among others. Karen
Goeller asked the participants to perform core exercises such as flutter
kicks and knee lifts.
This class lasted approximately one hour, but many
workouts can be as short as 15 minutes. The benefits of this form of training
are not only that the participant can gain strength or lose weight, but they can
exercise outdoors, at the local playground. There
is no need to purchase fitness equipment and those with children can exercise
while their children play. We predict this training will become more popular as
the warm weather arrives because it is so unique, enjoyable, and very convenient
for so many adults.
The authors,
Karen Goeller and Brian Dowd, will be attending other events to teach those
interested in their swing exercise methods. They will also be available to sign
books and give personal training sessions.
