Scottsdale, Arizona
ABOUT THE TRAINING
Fitness is being physically strong and healthy. Traditional Fitness is inspired by the inherent
strength of our ancestors and their natural athletically gifted bodies that inhabited these
lands. Traditional fitness encompasses the overall wellness of a person and includes the
physical, spiritual, emotional and mental well-being and how by living in balance each
area helps to strengthen the other. Traditional Fitness is more than improving cosmetic
appearance; the ultimate goal is to empower people physically by embracing the ingenuity,
work ethic, creativity and determination of our ancestors. Traditional Fitness is functional
fitness. A constant state of well-being preserves and evolves strong families. Strong families
contribute to strong communities and strong communities contribute to strong Nations.
The Traditional Fitness training will utilize traditional games, ice-breakers, body weight
movements, partner body weight exercises and natural objects such as rocks and logs for
fitness workouts.
Note: All ages and levels of athleticism are welcome to join. Participants should come
dressed and ready to move.
