Full Throttle Fitness WOW #3 100 Rep Challenge














By Coach Cj Swaby


"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly." - Aristole

The 100 rep Challenge is not a movement, but a way of life. Started by Rannoch Donald of Simple Strength, it has grown a head of steam over the years, being successfully featured at The UK's largest fitness expo, Body Power for two years straight.

Well, we've appropriated it for our Full Throttle Fitness Class (and added our own twist to it). Now a monthly feature in our timetable, there is foundation workout, followed by the 100 rep challenge.

The main session acted a primer. It was a devious piece, and went down like this.
