What “fusion” Means to the Lift, Move & Restore Series

The idea of fusion is not new to fitness, but how it’s interpreted can be different depending on the type of workout you’re performing. In the simplest terms, fusion in fitness is mixing elements from more than one fitness discipline to create a workout with a fresh feel, new sequences, and a new set of challenges.

For example, you may have seen workouts that combine Pilates with boxing, or cardio with yoga. In my new series Lift, Move & Restore: Functional Training for the Actively Aging Lifestyle, you can expect to see exercises common to a certain fitness discipline make their way into another type of routine. You can also expect to see some pieces of fitness equipment used as they are intended, as well as in ways other than their known purpose, for example, using a foam roller as a cardio and balance tool rather than as a myofascial release tool.

Combining different types of exercise and movement throughout the series will give these new workouts a fresh and effective edge while simultaneously ramping up calorie burn and challenging our bodies in new and exciting way

I like this idea as well!!! I feel I would get more use from my roller!

I have done Piloxing workouts, it’s boxing & Pilates moves…forgot about that! I even
got me a pair of the Piloxing weighted gloves

I tried that move.....pretty comfortable! I found it easy to move my legs too.

I had to giggle, someone on her FB page, asked when we would expect to receive the
dvds.......LOL, No replies, if I was on FB, which I'm not, I probably would have replied,
"they gotta film them first!"

Or maybe "mid to late September!" That's less than 6 months now!

My sister was laughing seeing that move .... she asked if it's supposed to be some form of cardio ... I said I have no clue ... we both chuckled

I'm beginning to wonder about that ! Oh, I guess if they get going, the filming should go
fairly quickly I would think........that long period in between when they're editing, authoring,
and whatever, seems to take forever, couple months at least and then allowing a month
or so at the replicator.........and of course, the road trip is at the end of July so that's gonna
slow things down at that point... they ought to be starting soon..........

she asked if it's supposed to be some form of cardio ...

if she does it fast, it might be considered cardio LOL, but I'm thinking maybe some sort
of core movement?

Another core & cardio fusion!
