Your first session is a hour assessment in two parts £25

The session starts with assessing your readiness for exercise:

Part 1

Health Checklist/History.

Lifestyle Checklist - work/life balance, personal goals and needs.

Postural Assessment - any issues to be aware of and any possible action to be taken.

Gait Analysis - movement patterns and muscle alignment before exercising, using foot manipulation and massage.

Part 2

Warm up - mobilising exercises to create increased joint movement.

Introduction to the kettlebell and kettlebell training.

Heart rate monitoring.

Cool down and stretch.

The first session is designed to look at your readiness for exercising and safety, (part 1 takes 10 minutes to complete) providing there are no health issues you will then move on to part 2. You will be given a heart rate monitor which uses the latest heart rate technology to measure your individual Training Effect.

For you to improve your physical fitness your body needs to be put through the correct workload through the session. This is done by looking at your Training Effect which measures the impact of the workload on your fitness in numbers from 1 to 5 this can also tell us if the session was too hard for your current level of fitness.

Training Criteria after the first session

The way that training is personalised to you is at the start of every session, with a training bench marked at the start of your session to assess your readiness for exercise and this will determine the intensity of the workload through your individual heart rate. As well as taking into account any lifestyle factors that may be affecting your heart rate.

Your bench mark averages are 128 - 138, using a standard kettlebell exercise which takes 30 seconds to complete which establish your training heart rate for the session.

As a beginner you will start with a light kettlebell and after every fifth session has your kettlebell technique improves you will move up by weight and reps. This is because stamina and strength improve after four session with PBP.

Your programme design will be based on your goals and needs, however you will never do the same programme twice. This is firstly in order to challenge your body without increasing the exercise load to exhaust you, and secondly to motivate you so you know its always going to be different and fun.
