Try a Wild New Year challenge Please NO NO NO not another year gone by… well I’m afraid it has – but here’s a thought .. it is a new year, time for a resolution, a goal, something to make 2012 stand out against other years – so what’s it gonna be – [...] The following is taken from a journal our Wild Coach Gareth Roriston was keeping in the bush as he shadowed, then filled in, as Warden for the Galana Wildlife Conservancy which boarders Tsavo East National Park in Kenya. The idea is to inspire you… so you know that, wherever you are, and whatever equipment you [...] A fun day at the office for Paul! (Paul Ranson is a Wildfitness Coach and was on location in Kenya from July – October 2011. Here he gives us his top tips for wild health and some practical exercises to try too!) PHYSICAL FUN & VARIETY Variety is most definitely the spice of life and is [...] (Tara Wood, founder of Wildfitness, recently attended a press weekend for the new 2012 Wildfitness location on the Isle of Wight.

Most people don’t get in touch with us because they [...] In the 10 years that Wildfitness has been running, we have cut loose more and more from the tethers of the ‘old paradigm’ of fitness. We have been inspired by the spontaneous and purposeful variety of physical activity undertaken by natural tribal people that results in graceful, skilful and beautiful physicality. And we [...] Both on our Kenya and Crete courses we have one session where we do a ‘Beach Combo’. This involves doing a combination (hence ‘Combo’) of different natural movement patterns, one after the other, and then repeating the whole sequence… either a set number of times, say 4 – 6, or as many times as you [...] This goes out to all of you Wild Ones in the Northern Hemisphere… and those of you in eternally hot places. 1. Get in Wild water By this I mean all of the outdoor swimming holes you can find near you or on your travels. There are more out there than you think… My flight to Kenya [...] |
