Achieve excellence in your sport and complement your training with HITT bodyweight sessions
Join T2T for early morning training sessions to drive and develop your fitness, compliment your training regime and build a balanced and more rounded fitness profile.
Utilise HITT, body-weight and explosive movements to develop components of fitness and overload your muscles.
Multiple joint (closed-chain) movements found in body-weight exercises, strengthen several muscle groups at once, increasing relative strength (Harrison, 2010).
Adding variety, strength work and explosive movements might not be in your sport but it can add to your performance.
Ability to apply more force in every effort = faster.
Or, less effort to apply the same force = last longer.
Are you a Runner?
Adding strength work will improve your running economy and time trial performances and maximal sprint speed.
