Those who want to train and inform themselves on social media and internet forums are often confronted with contradictory fitness tips. There is often too much theoretical information that leads to training paralysis. That doesn’t have to be the case, because training isn’t difficult at all. A few basic principles are enough. Train regularly 2-3 times a week.
Train muscle chains instead of isolated movements on machines.
Vary your training and challenge your body with new exercises.
The least fun you can have is often the exercise you need the most.
Use point 4 sparingly so you don’t lose the fun in your workout.
High intensity with little/no breaks will result in compact and intense training sessions between 20-40 minutes.
Listen to your body during training. There are days when nothing goes right. Don’t skip training but train with less intensity.

When you want to become fit, there is no way around the aeroSling suspended deflection pulley trainer. We tell you why the aeroSling is the best option when you want to train for strength, coordination, and every aspect of fitness.
There is probably no sport in the world that doesn’t benefit from strength training. More muscles (or bigger muscles) not only result in more strength but also more stability and smaller risks of injury. Thus, it is almost always beenficial when hobby athletes go to the gym in addition to playing their “main sports”. However, when training for a specific sport it is imperative to consider that muscles never really work in an isolated fashion. They are always a part of a bigger muscle group that works as a chain when you play your sport. That is the basic principle of Functional Training.
Of slings and poles
The aeroSling Suspension Trainer is the perfect partner for almost any sport because it offers an endless number of exercises and forces you to use several muscle groups at the same time in any one of these exercises. Even a seemingly “simple” Bizeps Curl challenges the shoulders and core to keep yourself in a stable position during the exercise. Training with the aeroSling, therefore, offers a great transfer into other sports and our customers at PoleRoom have realized this as well. PoleRoom has dedicated itself to Pole Fitness and they have recently started offering aeroSling courses to their members. Training with a suspension trainer offers great benefits for pole fitness enthusiasts because the workouts incorporate a great focus on the core while training the other sport-specific muscle groups. This is a big difference to “normal” gym training where most people sit on machines or benches when the are training. Sitting is something that couldn’t be further from the center of pole fitness.
What do you train for?
Pole fitness is a relatively “new” kind of fitness program that isn’t found in every gym, yet. But Fuctional Training, as mentioned before, can be a great addition to any sport. You just have to ask yourself: Do I want to get better in the sport that I love to play? If the answer is yes, then you shouldn’t rely on playing the sport itself in order to become better at it. Obviously, there are motor skills and cognitive skills that can primarily improve when you play the sport. But sport doesn’t start and end with these skills and it demands a certain level of fitness. And in order to improve this fitness Functional Training offers optimal tools and solutions. Even when you just train to become generally fitter with no specific sport in mind, Functional Training should be your first choice anyways. At the start of your “athletic endeavour” stands one question: What am I training for?

A rope is generally used in three different ways in Functional Training:
you pull the rope
you climb up the rope
you swing the rope (see Battle Ropes)
The different training styles of rope training often result from the fact that a rope has a start and an end or that there is a dead weight connected at the end which significantly restricts the range of motion. What happens, though, when the rope suddenly becomes an endless rope? And when the resistance is no longer created by the dead weight but directly at the suspension point which itself is height-adjustable as well? Then, you get completely new functional training opportunities with a rope. Like pushing exercises, for example.
Pushing exercises with a rope?
The brand-new revvll ONE and its already established big brother, revvll PRO, possess an endless rope as central element which gives you completely new training opportunities. Since the resistance of the rope is created inside the case of the revvll and thanks to its light weight, the revvll can be suspended almost anywhere. This allows for movement patterns that have not been possible with ropes until now. For example, you can suspend the revvll from a rack, turn your back to the revvll, and push the rope down right in front of your body. Or you position yourself sideways to the revvll and move the rope solely by rotating your upper body. You have never used a training rope like this!
High time under tension
If you have already trained with a rope before and used it by pulling a dead weight with it you surely know the feeling that the high tension creates during the exercise. The high time under tension – your muscles are fully activated for a prolonged period of time – creates an increased blood-flow into your muscles. The exercise variety of the revvll gives you this feeling not only for your biceps but for your whole upper body. Now, you can very effectively train your upper torso in a short amount of time. You simply have to experience it to really feel it. Find out more about the revvll endless rope trainer now.
