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

Plank is a great beginning, intermediate, and advanced exercise for the entire body. It is a great tool for training the overall stability and posture of your body, both of which are essential for great capoeira.  It is an excellent way to work your abdominal and back musculature without even having to move!  Here are some great versons of plank.

Enjoy!
