“TRAIN LIKE A TRIBUTE” WITH A NEW WORKOUT FROM BOSTON SPORTS CLUBS AND “THE HUNGER GAMES”

Boston Sports Clubs are launching the hot new "Train Like a

Tribute" workout, using movie-inspired functional training moves to torch

fat, incinerate calories, and set your muscles on fire.   

A continuation of BSC's 2012 Hunger Games-inspired

workout, “Train Like a Tribute 2013" subscribes to The Hunger

Games
' "survival of the fittest" mentality, utilizing BSC's green

turfed UXF Zone "jungle" to create the ultimate athlete.

Participants will navigate their way around a clock of 12 fitness

challenges -- from dodging attack monkeys, to scaling Heavensbee Hills, to

wielding the Peacekeeper battle ropes -- switching stations each time the Head
Game Maker strikes the gong.  

Train Like a Tribute - 45 min.

  Monkey Jumps -- plyometric
squat jumps are a great cardio workout that strengthen legs and glutes.

  Hevensbee Hills --  the
head game maker's namesake, this cardio interval blasts fat and strengthens
legs for rebellion runs through the Capitol.

  Finnik Trident Presses --

tricep presses with a weighted trident, the weapon of choice for one of the

lead tributes.

  Peeta Pull-Ups -- the

camouflaged hero achieves a whole new level as the Rebellion rises.

•  Paralyzing Fog Flips ----  Flipping

and lifting a punching bag simulates a part of the plot where the fog

paralyzes some of the tributes and others have to carry them to safety 

  Forcefield Planks -- push

against a walled forcefield looking for the weak spot while holding a plank to

increase arm and belly burn.

  White "Rose" Rows --

improve posture with upper back rows named after President Snow's

signature boutonniere.

  BeeTee Biceps -- show

that you can't beat the forcefield without a secret weapon – strong

"guns."

the cardio ante while escaping a tidal wave on this popular gym

machine.

•  Quarter Quell Kettle Bell Swings -- "shoulder"

the burden of the victors fighting to "remember who the enemy is!"

CLIFFHANGER:  In true UXF form, each “Train

Like a Tribute” session will conclude with winner declared by the "Head

Game Maker” -- the participant who has completed the greatest number of

exercises will be awarded the Mocking Jay pin.

 “Train like a Tribute” is a FREE class for both members and non-members 
and will be offered on both Tuesday, December 10th and December 
17th
