Old School Fitness NYC

Sun, slow movement, rest, intense movement, real food, play, sleep.

Please know, Old School Fitness is based on the timeless principles of human health and fitness.

For millions of years, our ancestors lived in accordance with our evolution and enjoyed the optimal expression of their genes.

Art De Vany has been extolling the virtues of living in accordance with our primal nature for the last decade with his website.

Hey Old Schoolers,

Today’s casual Sunday run workout was a full loop in Central Park, 6.something miles.

We’ll be meeting up for these Central Park runs each Sunday around noon (time will be specified each week) for anyone who wants to take part.

It’s been a fun little addition to our training. We plan to mix up the distances / routes quite often.

Email me if you’d like to meet up for the runs.

In other news,

Winter’s really getting to me at this point.

I never thought we’d necessarily cancel meetings due to snow but the pounding we’ve been taking from the snowiest February on record in NYC has taken it’s toll on me and the classes.

I don’t want to see anymore snow!!! I want to be able to get outside and train hard and play games the Old School Fitness way, preferably in the bright, shining sun.

Good news is March 1st is tomorrow so we’ve GOTTA be getting to the other side of this thing.

Hope to see many of you out in the park this week!
