I tried the Freeletics

app out after a 15-min

sprint interval session

on the treadmill. It

was a really good

endurance workout. I

love that it has a time r

so you can keep track

of finishin g time s and

personal bests. I

chose the Athena

workout which is

supp osed to improve

your ener gy levels.

With five quick rounds

of mountain climbers

sit-ups and squats it

definitely gavemy

core a much-needed

workout that was

perfect in combination

with HIIT. As I used this

app in the gym I

added a 10kg weight

to my squats fo r extra

resistance as I did find

the non- weighted

squats easy. What’s

grea t about this app

is that it suits any

fitness level – you

can make it as hard

as you please.

It’s no secret that

fitness has become

one of the world’s

biggest industries

• and it certainly
  doesn’t seemto be
  stalling anytime
  soon. With more
  and more men and
  women lifting
  bigger running
  further and working
  out harder Daniel
  Kunitz explores our
  ever-changing
  3000-year-long
  relation ship with
  fitness and
  exercise. Diving
  into the depths
  of fitness history
  he looks at how
  it has evolved
  from Ancient
  Greece’s courtyard
  gymnasiums
  to today’s
  Lulule mon-wearing
  performance-
  oriented CrossFit
  generation while
  also tapping into
  various arguments
  that have – and
  will continue to


• shape the
  world of fitness.
  Throughout Daniel

from within the

industry(from

Divine a Navy seal

who can plank for

seven minutes

straight to Ron

‘whom I know from

the gym a man

whose belly just

blares “impending

heart attack ” but

who can actually

run five miles clim b

walls and carry

huge sandbags and

tyres)’. Beautifully

written carefully

constructed and

genuinely insightfu l

and engaging – it’s

a must-read for al l

fitness fanatics.
