Ripped on the Charles with Mocean365

The "Ripped on the Charles with Mocean365" is finishing up our first sucessful 8 week session next week and its been an amazing time with a killer crew. Overlooking the beautiful Charles River, the workouts have included the usual Mocean365 blend of dynamic warm-ups, balance and proprioceptive drills, strength and conditioning interspersed with cardiovascular challenges. Aside from all those fancy terms, we had a lot of fun MOVING. outside, fresh air(sorta) and with a fun group. Here's are a few shots from last weeks class. Big props and thanks to all the crew that made it happen especially Will and Chris B and everyone else that came week in and week out to...."Get Ripped on the Charles!

Real world strength and "fitness"

Just the word "fitness" at times drives me nuts because of its overuse and general cheesy connotations in the training field. my approach to it has been from day one, to improve other aspects of my life, namely how I'm able to move, react, and perform in my day to day.

Now this is finally reaching home with some, that what you do for training how you do your workouts and approach your "fitness" will effect your live positively! Its more than the silly glitz and glamor of "six pack abs" and "fat burning" and all the related industry jargon BS.

Those things are merely a byproduct bonus in my opinion. Can you work all day whether you are pounding nails, chasing kids or punching a keyboard pain free? When it comes time to play, do you have the endurance to fully enjoy the experience, whatever it may be?

We are living in a world where specialization is becoming more commonplace which in my opinion is very dangerous. Great you can design software but can you cut your own firewood? You can build a new deck on your house but can you write a short story? And to relate to training, you have "six pack abs" but can you climb a tree, dig a ditch or train without rest for an hour straight? I hope so to all of those questions!

Take a hard look at your "fitness" and see where and how it positively affects your life and those around you. Look outside of the box and get out of the gym and into the woods. If you don't have equipment, go find some in the woods or at the dump, make it. If you want to get in shape or better shape, JUST DO IT!

This is not the time for specialization but rather an acceptance of new experiences and challenges in regards to your "fitness". run, jump, roll, push, pull, react, stabilize, play, reach, balance, throw, fight, ride, try, read, bend, carry heavy loads and remember we are all animals and kids at heart. When you start accepting these many challenges then you begin to understand real world fitness and function and training with a purpose. SO GO DO IT!!!!!!

TRX Suspension Trainer

Just received the new TRX Suspension Trainer and have to say i'm impressed! Solid construction, easy to use and adjust and very progressive for all levels. Have to say this is one tool that will make my job easier for sure.
We will be using the TRX within the group setting as we progress into summer. Look for them in the "Fitness in the Forest with Mocean365" beginning on May 4th, so look for that.
I'll be adding photos and videos of the TRX in action over the next couple weeks.

These sessions will be held regularly in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont as well by appointment and demand beyond in coastal NH and Maine. Mocean365 can come to your place of work and train groups as large as 10 or more or you can choose an individual or "bro-up" session with your friend. Contact us for pricing and options as we will work with all who have the will, desire and stoke to take it to the next level.

Try it out for a month or for the summer. Have fun, and break away from the gym and into the shape of your life. Hell, maybe Obama will show up and throw down?!
