A leap of faith, and of fitness.

The way to keep fit and get healthy in 2009 is to become a circus act, well, almost. Trapeze has been a celebrity favourite since 2007, but it is said to be taking off in the UK, with many already getting their weekly adrenaline rush.

Like mat-based yoga, trapeze works every muscle and strengthens the body, as well as improving posture. It is the ultimate stress buster; flying through the air clears the mind! A surprising fact about trapeze training; as expected the arms work hard and overall body strength is increased greatly with the legs also getting an intense workout too. However, it is the abdominal muscles that get worked the hardest! Who needs sit ups anyway?

Trapeze offers those adrenaline seekers something new, fun and scary to try. While some may prefer a long session on the gym’s running machine (or out in the rain) others would much rather feel like they are flying; forgetting those everyday stresses and finishing literally on a high, with the pain and aches feeling much more worth it as you remember that first terrifying leap of faith, all in the name of fitness.
