Very funny solution to road rage that offers more efficient and less violent way of addressing excessive stress and energy buildup amongst motorists.

As society gets busier and busier, roads get more and more congested and the stress levels of everyday living are exacerbated when driving a car. A meek mild mannered person can at a drop of the hat can become aggressive and hostile with the horn beeping and the arms waving in anger.

So at Fitstyler we have created a better way to channel that excessive energy while bringing a little bit of fun into the equation.

Just remember only a aim for the focus pads and not any other part of the body including the head.
While we are taking a lighthearted look at addressing the issue of road rage, this is a growing problem amongst our larger urban cities where people’s rage can quickly turn ugly.

A lot of road rage can be attributed to all the stress that builds up during the day and manifests itself while laying in a dormant state until an opportunity arises to release that excessive energy. It’s like a volcano that is ready to erupt that lays dormant for a period of time until mountain peak breaks with an explosive eruption before lava spews everywhere.

We run boxing sessions at our boot camps and are quite surprised when we ask a fitmate what they’re focusing on in our evening sessions to generate so much energy. It’s quite often work-related so while this can be viewed anecdotally, I think there is some substance behind It.

If you’re looking at getting some incidental exercise into your day, way not start with some car park exercise.

Rather than getting stressed and agitated trying to park as close as possible to the front door of the shopping centre, try parking as far away as possible.
The big plus is the extra 200-300 meters of walking you can get. Throw in some weighted shopping bags and you have some extra calorie burning without having to do any specific exercise.

The other plus to parking way down the back, is that you’ll have more room and there’ll be less likelihood of other people parking next to you and slamming their door into your car, so your car will be happier for it.

But, if you are parking among other cars, try deliberately forgetting where you parked the car. When you return, run down every aisle looking for your car, before you know it you will have covered 1-3km

Very scary but this unusual exercise of skyscraper climbing is being performed by Frenchman Alain Robert who scaled this 57 story building with no ropes or climbing equipment, only his hands and climbing shoes.

As a rock climber myself, climbing with the appropriate equipment is scary enough but to do it 50 meters off the ground, mmmm, very very scary.

There have been many “Free climbers” over the years who have not be as fortunate as Alain, it takes total commitment, focus and an unbelievable belief system that you know that you will succeed, failure equals death.

I guess for Alain the Lumiere Building in Sydney’s CBD pales into insignificance when compared to his other feats of climbing the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Eiffel Tower and the big one, the 508m “Taipei 101 in 2004.

For me, climbing a 50 -100 meter cliff face is enough excitement:))

Very funny and an usual core exercise, motorbike riding with a four burner bbq. (barbeque).

While this is a silly thing to do, it does show amazing core strength to hold perfect alignment with all of the deep core muscles such as the transversus abdominus, multifidus, internal and external obliques.

If he was to slouch forward, he would start placing a lot of strain on his lower back. The shoulders have to be braced extremely well between the internal and external rotators while maintaining perfect postural alignment. keeping a neutral spin also enables him to keep the hips stabilised enough to extend his hips far enough to reach the foot pedals.

So don’t be tempted to pick up some outdoor furniture or other stuff from the road side council hard rubbish collection, keep your core works to the safe environment of your own home:))

While conducting our usual Boot camp class last night, we came across an unusual exercise happening inside the rotunda, tightrope walking.

It’s amazing how you can adapt to your surroundings, the 40cm diameter pillars were more than capable of supporting the weight of a person suspended from a tight rope made from 50mm strapping, similar to what is used to tie down stuff on roof racks

The 2 people were even happy enough for me to have a go. Like most people my body starting swinging from side to side once I moved my left foot away from the tightrope and without the support of leaning on the pillar.

While tightrope walking is lots of fun, it is a highly advance core based activity meaning that you really need to be able to brace from below the belly button (TVA Transversus abdominis, though your multifidis, external/internal obliques and pelvic floor) to your spine.

A great way to develop core strength is using a Fitball or Swiss ball, a having a strong core provides the foundation for all of the body’s movements.
