“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. 

•  Katniss Killers -- participants use a bow for a resistance to work the upper back and biceps.

•  Peacekeeper Battle Ropes -- whipping stations against the Rebellion work the biceps and shoulders.

•  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."

•  Tsunami Row Machine -- up 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 at 12:15pm at BSC’s Downtown Crossing Location
