Jump your way fit

I know not many of you have used a skipping rope since you were seven, just like me! But remember how much fun it was… master the jump again and you’ll work your legs 320kcals harder then any treadmill. Sure you can sing the alphabet whilst you do it too! High intensity training in your hands at any time, anywhere.

Hit the showers

Menthol is a natural analgesic, smoothing your aches and pains and melting 183kcals. Swap the yoga mat for a cooling shower gel or bath soak. Your body wont regret it!

Top Gear

Compression gear reduces the lactic acid build up which can make that extra sprint or last squat that little easier to bear. Quicker gains and 112kcals lost. With training gear flying back in too fashion you won’t be disappointed. Look good, feel great.

Get a boost

A pair of super comfy runners will push you 5% further in training so worth spending money on a great pair. They also help with your posture, help reduce injuries and run off an extra 10kcals.

Whatever your health and fitness goals this kit bag has everything you need to get the wheels in motion and get you on the right path to start or stay on track your fitness journey.
