Question  No.004

What kind of training would the remontant Fury be?

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

1. Take all ideas, images, media-made crap concepts of fitness and training, crumple them up, tear them apart, and throw them in the bin.
   This is not about appearance. It’s not about training that gives me a certain look.
   It’s not about burning as many calories as possible.
   What it is about — that’s below.

So you’ll have to keep reading.

1. In what follows, the abbreviation rFTraining will be used for remontant Fury as training.

---

Training – Definition:
Processes that bring about a transformative development.

Training in sport:
Regular physical activity (load) for the purpose of improving performance or maintaining physical ability.

---

So what must an rFTraining include?

What would be the training focus?

When I plan training, I normally look at all five basic motor abilities (see below) in order to determine possible focal points.
However, selecting a single focus would not work for rFTraining — it would be too limiting.
So rFTraining must include all motor abilities.

Want to know why? You’ll have to keep reading.


ENDURANCE
The remontant woman is a long-distance runner.
She can endure and knows how to pace herself.

---

STRENGTH
The remontant woman is strong.
True to the principle of supercompensation (google that — it’s really cool!!!),
she has built up serious strength through specific loads.

---

FLEXIBILITY
She is flexible.
She knows in which directions she can stretch or bend
without hurting herself.

---

COORDINATION
Birthdays, Christmas, parent-teacher nights, meetings, laundry, dissertation,
five-course meals — we handle it all.

---

BALANCE
Over time, the remontant woman has found her balance:
How much work is good for me?
With which people do I want to spend how much time?

---

Which type of sport includes all five motor abilities without setting focal points?

Example:
Running? No — only endurance.
Stretching? No — only flexibility.
Dancing? No — a lot of coordination and balance, little strength.
And so on…

The kind of training that combines all these motor abilities is:

FUNCTIONAL FULL-BODY TRAINING

WTF is that?!?

Functional training cuts across sports.
It isn’t for a single discipline. It’s about everyday relevance and always involves complex movement sequences that engage multiple muscles and joints at once.

Can’t picture it? Book a session with me! (You can also google it, but that’s no fun.)

Huge plus: Functional training can be done alone or in a group.

---

Let’s keep going!

When I, as a trainer, look at a group or an individual, training is usually first classified roughly as beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

---

So on what level would rFTraining be?

BEGINNER
Still needs a lot of input from the trainer.
Needs many corrections.
Is uncertain.
Acts cautiously, often afraid of injury.
Has little or no connection to their body yet.

---

INTERMEDIATE
Can already train alone,
but only knows some exercises and not all the equipment.
Slowly develops a feeling for what beneficial exertion feels like
in different areas.

---

ADVANCED
Knows their stuff.
Can decide independently which exercises and equipment make sense in a given session.
Can adapt if an exercise or piece of equipment isn’t available.
Can set their own focuses as needed.
Despite experience and a high performance level, remains open to corrections
(and may already have been injured).
Wants to keep learning.
Can ask nuanced questions.
Is interested in exchange with trainers and other athletes.

---

Naturally, rFTraining must be classified as advanced training.
For me, remontant Fury as training is therefore:

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL FULL-BODY TRAINING.
