ZUU


UU is the Australian-born fitness concept based on primal movements. Designed by expert in human


movement Nathan Helberg, it combines high-intensity interval training with exercises grounded in seven natural human movements: push, pull, bend, twist, squat, lunge and locomotion. The full-body workout has been


designed to develop mobility, agility, fl exibility and cardiovascular endurance while strengthening muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and fascia – not to mention exercisers can burn up to 600 calories in 30 minutes. ZUU has over 100 unique moves,


with each one working the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems and named after the animal that inspired it: Gorillas, Bears, Iguanas and Frogs. Helberg says: “Before ZUU, I was

fi t and strong but only in singular movements. When I tried exercises that worked multiple muscle groups, I found my joints were weak. I developed a more functional style of training that didn’t involve weights or machines, but used body weight to improve the range of motion and overall strength. The results were incredible.” The concept was launched at Virgin Active clubs in the UK in April 2014. ●
