Capoeira Fitness Tip of the Week

This feature is designed to give you functional training tools for your off days when you are not training capoeira. We will be looking at various excercises that we will have as resources for you to devise a strategy for your overall physical development as a capoeirista.

The goals are:

Overall Physical Health

Promoting Longevity

Improved Performance in your capoeira training and game

I chose this video not necessarily because of the exercises, though I think they are great.  More important is the creativity that he uses to create a workout environment at home with everyday items in simple ways. You do not need a lot of money nor equipment to get an excellent workout at home (there's no money in it for fitness equipment manufacturers, so you won't see a lot advertising for this).

Enjoy!
