When our routine needs a switch-up, we love to find new ways to raise our heart rate and our mood. That’s why we've collaborated with our local Zürich fitness studio and long-time partner, Balboa. These 20 minute videos are designed to help you sweat, burn calories and build strength. Each exercise can be achieved using just your bodyweight, so these classes can be done just about anywhere. 

First up, it's core with Leandro.

While your legs do the heavy lifting when you’re running, having a strong core can pay huge dividends. Putting time into training this area is a great way to add support and stability to your run. 

“Your body is the only thing you're guaranteed to carry with you throughout life so keep it healthy and take care of it” That’s Leo’s mantra. You can find more workout inspiration by following Leandro on Instagram, @leo.moves.

Time Under Tension with Ian

Next, Ian Holland-Coulton guides us through a killer lower-body interval training session. Push yourself just a little bit further by adding in optional weights. You'll thank yourself later.

When Ian Holland-Coulton isn't pushing people to their limits, he's studying a Masters in Sports Science. Read more about Ian and the rest of the team here.

BodyBoost Legs with Andrea

This high-intensity interval training class focuses on building strength and power in your legs. But make no mistake, this will have your whole body working hard. Plenty of cardio and active rests mean this 20 minute workout is packed full of energy.

Mobility Flow

Great for increasing your range of motion or for warming down after a tough workout: this yoga-inspired session is designed to help you increase flexibility and improve strength in your joints. Controlled articular rotation (CARs) exercises make this ideal for runners looking to enhance their mobility.

Full body strength for runners

This workout is a mix of heavy weighted exercises followed by explosive bodyweight movement. This Contrast Method stimulates more muscle fibre activity resulting in improved form for better results. Focussing on speed, balance and control of the lower body and core makes this workout unmissable for runners. All you need is a chair, a weighted backpack (just throw in some books or cans) and enough space to sweat.

Malick has to move and stay active to get the most out of life. Without his workouts and nutrition, he’s just on autopilot. The skilled trainer loves the “crazy bunch” at Balboa – “people here think beyond just training and enjoy a beer here and there too.” Follow him on IG @coach_malick or check out www.coachmalick.ch
