Develop upper and lower power zone stability and strength with a Strength Bar.

Fitness 4 Rugby has invented a revolutionary and extremely effective new training concept for functional core strength training. Polates™ uses a Core Strength Bar for scores of unique exercises that can be performed individually, in pairs, or groups of 3.

A variety of demanding and fun exercises can be performed to train every major muscle group, particularly the core stabilisers

The main exercises simulate wrestling as players pull and push each other via the Bar. These movements, which closely mimic those experienced when tackling and mauling, are just an example of the range of versatile exercises that you can perform with the Bar.

Polates ™ exercises simulate the muscle functions experienced during contact

Qualities of Polates ™ include:-

• Simulates the functional strength nature of mauling and tackling
• Wrestling without contact
• Synergistic recruitment of major muscle groups and smaller stabiliser muscles
• Development of upper and lower power zone core stability
• Ability to train three dimensionally - backwards, forwards, sideways, in rotation or any combination
• Fun and different!

Polates ™ develops 'real' rugby playing power, unlike many gym or machine based exercises.

The Core Strength Bar may also be used in conjunction with your Swiss Ball, or Resistance Tube.
