F45: Resistance and Cardio Training

Generally during a week, F45 breaks down their sessions to have a slightly different focus so that every training day is not the same. Monday’s and Wednesday’s are cardio/high intensity based days, Tuesdays and Thursday’s are resistance training with Friday and Saturday being a combination of both. This means that you’re working on both your cardio-respiratory fitness and your muscle strength, as both are equally important.

F45 Gyms and HIIT training have become very popular with the general public and our patients so we thought we should get to know more about it and test it out for ourselves! This has helped us work with F45 gym goers as we better understand the type of exercise involved and how to teach patients to modify exercises and design targeted rehab programs to help people return to full training post injury.

The trainers at F45 are there to motivate you and help guide your technique. Technique is super important in preventing injury so don’t be afraid to ask the F45 trainers if your doing the exercises correctly if something doesn’t feel quite right!
