It’s that time of year again: headline acts are announced, insta-worthy outfits have been l aid out and we’re crossing our fingers for a bit of sun… yes, it’s festival season! But, as anyone who has carted their tent, suitcase and barbecue from the car to the field, you’ll know it also requires some serious stamina and strength. So here’s a quick workout – full of squats, leaps and lunges – from David Lloyd Clubs fitness ex pert, Alistair Crew, to help navigate the season with ease. A pair of wellies as added weights will supercharge your workout!
LOADED LUNGES: Everyone intends to pack light, but….This means preparation is key; building strength will enable loaded up ladies and gents to arrive at camp still smiling. Grab a heavy bag or rucksack lift up and over to sit comfortable on your shoulders and aim for 10 lunges. Swap direction and repeat for 10 more. This move will train the shoulders to tackle bags, tents, even friends on shoulders!
