WHY CRANKIT STRAPS ROCK... FOR GETTING FIT OR IMPROVING YOUR FITNESS

 

 

STARTING YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY, OR GETTING BACK INTO IT

Here's how the CrankIt Straps and Fitness Courses can help you get started, or get back into your fitness journey...

FAT LOSS

The CrankIt Straps and education courses are the perfect Fat Loss weapon: Leading edge tools and techniques, plus the knowledge to get the most out of the - Quickly!

Suspended Fitness Training requires the use of multiple muscles for every exercise, and also requires stabilisation during each exercise, thus maximising your energy expenditure in a smaller amount of time. You also use your own body weight as the resistance, and can adjust to make it as hard or as easy as you like, so you can choose the level that is right for you.

The CrankIt Straps exercises can help you increase your muscle mass, which increases your metabolism, and turns you into a fat burning machine! You will also get a cardiovascular benefit due to the large number of muscles working at once, which in turn requires your heart rate to increase to supply enough oxygenated blood to all those muscles. So you're getting the strength, muscle and metabolism benefits, while at the same time getting the cardiovascular benefits!

Knowledge is a key part of any fitness journey, and fat loss is no exception. The CrankIt Courses are designed to teach you how to train efficiently and safely, thus getting the best possible results for yourself.

“The CrankIT straps transform workouts from autopilot to manual - there is nowhere to hide with a truly total body training system - isolating muscles, movement and definitely a core factor to improve the way you move. The result - increased body intuition, reaction, performance & re balancing - from strength to stretching I'm impressed with the versatility.” - Nikki Fogden-Moore (Director & Founder, Life's A Gym)

INJURY PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION

The CrankIt Straps are proving to be excellent for injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Here's how:

Most Suspended Fitness exercises are closed kinetic chain – the body moves, while the hands/feet stay still. Close Kinetic Chain exercises increase the use of stabilisers, and push joint surfaces together, while open kinetic chain exercises typically pull joint surfaces apart. This makes closed kinetic chain exercises the preferred choice for early stage rehabilitation, as the unstable and often painful joints tolerate being pushed together rather than pulled apart.

Closed kinetic chain exercise also often result in higher core activation. Interestingly, being very strong in an open kinetic chain movement does not always transfer to the similar movement pattern in closed kinetic chain.

Exercising on the CrankIt Straps also increases joint stability, because the training surface (the strap handles) are unstable, thus requiring muscle and joint stability from the exerciser to be able to perform the movement. This helps with injury prevention because having strong and stable joints, and muscles that support those joints results in reduced chance of injury.

"I want to say a huge THANK YOU! The CrankIt Straps have helped my back and core so much in the past two months alone, and I believe 100% in this style of training." Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching me about the straps. The best money I have spent in a really long time!" - Katie Young

 

"With the fitness straps I’ve been tested and had some of the best and most fun workouts I've ever had, they make for amazing fitness and strength and in my experience are perfect for working around old injuries that other equipment can't do" - Adrian Ramsay

CLUB LEVEL ATHLETES

Here's how using CrankIt straps can help you remain competitive, even if you're chained to a desk pretty much all week long...

Save Time

Suspended Fitness Training at its best places the body in a series of unbalanced postures, so that you have to work hard to stabilise your body. This puts a much wider range of muscles through their paces, providing a strenuous and highly effective workout, especially for increasing core strength and stability. You can effectively work out in less time, while still challenging your body and improving your strength, power, speed, agility and core.

The demands on your body when competing at club level, without the rigorous training and preparation afforded to elite athletes can be hard to handle. Luckily, with the CrankIt Straps you can now prepare yourself physically for your weekend competitions without having to spend hours a day training.

"The thing I love about the CrankIt Straps is that I can never use the I don't have time or there's no gym nearby excuses. I have to be accountable now because I can train almost anywhere, and anytime I have a free 20 minutes. With no excuses holding me back, I am getting in the best shape of my life!" - Sarah

 

Whole Body Fitness

Training with the CrankIt Straps lets you perform "whole-body" movements and exercises. These involve the strength, stability, power and integration of the majority of your body, and are very functional the the way we move in real life, and in sport. By training whole-body movements, you will create whole-body fitness:

• strength that can be applied in multiple directions, not just forwards
• rotational power
• transfering force from the feet to the hands through the core
• being able to handle high level cardiovascular load due to large movement patterns
• stability that matches strength
• balance and co-ordination

ELITE ATHLETES

Professional athletes love how hard they can push themselves when training with CrankIt straps, to be in the shape of their life. Here's some of the ways training with CrankIt Straps can help improve key areas of athletic performance:

Core Strength

Our core is the centre for all of our movement, and is critical to our movement function. It’s commonly accepted that we must have a strong core in order to be able to excel in the majority of athletic activities. We also need to have a strong core to safely perform our regular daily activities and movements.

The way exercises are performed using CrankIt Straps results in unmatched core activation by destabilizing your position and moves the centre of gravity outside the base, which causes your body to automatically compensate by using your core muscles (this is known as constant core activation).

So for example, when you perform an exercise in a leaning position, this demands pelvic and spinal stabilisation during the entire exercise. This causes your core muscles to activate in order to keep your body in the correct position, and avoid “sagging”. This can be applied to exercises that would not usually target or activate the core, resulting in even more core activation during more exercises – and even better results!

"The CrankIt Straps are the ultimate surfers cross training tool. I can carry it with me and if the surf isn't pumping I can set up at the beach and get a great workout, with a million dollar view! I'd say if you surf, you should try the CrankIt Straps, the core workouts are ridiculous!" - Stefano

Endurance

Many elite athletes require a high level of endurance, while still maintaining power, co-ordination and function. The CrankIt Straps allow athletes to adjust the load and intensity of exercises by merely adjusting their body position, which enables them to perform high repetitions of a huge variety of strength, power and cardiovascular movements. Many elite endurance athletes suffer from low core strength and lose efficiency due to a lack of core control in the latter stages of their competitions. By training on the CrankIt Straps and improving core strength, even in an endurance environment, athletes have noticed core strength improvements, and overall performance improvements.

"Since purchasing the straps I have been regularly working out on with them as they are so easy to store/use, very minimum fuss to set up. As a surfer I love the focus on the upper body and have noticed improvement in my paddling strength and endurance." - Kat

 

Flexibility

To perform at your best as an elite athlete, your muscles and joints require a level of Flexibility. CrankIt Straps can be a fantastic aid to increase flexibility. The straps and handles allow you to provide just the right amount of leverage to stretches, and also allow for minute changes in position to hit the exact spot that you need to stretch. Stretching with the straps also provides an extra support aid to assist you to perform some of the more difficult flexibility positions.

WOW! The CrankIt Straps will really add that extra 10% that will help me perform at my very best. Lets Get Moving!... (Click Here)
