... And this is our traditional ritual before we get to the start line. I know it was Vero (the head of the Gym) who invented it. I'll never understand the meaning of 'what the heck' we shout every time! :)

Functional training with Mariano
Mariano is the best! He's my coach and we're doing functional / circuit training (strength, endurance, mobility, agility, balance, etc) 3 x week.
He's a "preparador físico" for various clubs (football soccer & other sports) and I'm lucky to have him on my team!
Mariano is training me so thoroughly... that he's giving me heck! He seems to love torturing me! But it's already started to pay off! :)

We usually work on ten stations, 3 sets, some exercises are 20 sec HIIT x 20 sec rest while others are for active recovery (same timing). We use the med ball (4 kilos!), resistance bands, step bench, box, mini-trampoline, mini-bosus, hurdles, mat, etc.
I can't believe it! I did burpees on Friday! Arrrgggh!
(So hard to be a wannabe athlete!)
Working out with music is so much fun! :)

Tai Cheng™ is Beachbody's newest and perhaps most comprehensive fitness program.
Based on the movements, concepts, and theories of traditional Yang-style Tai Chi, the Beachbody® Tai Cheng workout program was created by Tai Chi master, Dr. Mark Cheng.
The Mandarin Chinese translation of Tai Cheng (as we've conceived of it here at Beachbody) is the "Supreme Accomplishment" in whole body health.

The Mandarin Chinese translation of Tai Cheng (as we've conceived of it here at Beachbody) is the "Supreme Accomplishment" in whole body health.
The Tai Cheng™ workout is based on classical Tai Chi techniques, ancient Qi Gong practices, and modern corrective exercise patterns designed to both rehab and "prehab" the body, as well as improve the body's metabolism, joint function, stress management, and athletic performance!
The Tai Cheng program is a workout that feels good, challenges your body, gives you energy, and can help improve circulation, straighten posture, open your joints, reduce painful trigger points, and promote balance and flexibility to help improve your health as you age.
