 One of the more frequent questions that I get asked is What does 3D Fitness mean?
Well when I first dreamed it up over 15 years ago my first thought was based on body movement. 3 Dimensional if you like! The body has 3 planes of movement all of which involve dividing the body in half:-
Sagittal - the most common one which involves forward and backwards movement and anything else in this line. (The front and back half)
Frontal - sideways or lateral movements. (The left and right half)
Transverse - Rotationalor twisting movements (the top and bottom half)
In reality none of these movement take place exclusively of the other and so we often move 3 dimensionally.
I guess an alternative view could be that we like to look good from the outside, that we ought to look good from the inside (ever seen arteries blocked by cholesterol? Not a good look!) and that the 3rd dimension wher we should look good is the spiritual one.
Since starting life as a personal trainer I have become increasingly aware that fitness is only one aspect of a healthy life and that to be truly fit we should workout our mind, finances, health, job, friends and indeed any aspect that can influence our happiness. We need to be fit looking in any dimension. This is more of a holistic 3 dimensional approach to fitness
So 3D fitness has actually worked out quite nicely and in coming months I’m going to be exploring at other ways in which we can get our life and not just our body into shape.
