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.
