If you have been living in a cave or just stepped out of the jungle barefoot then you can skip this article. However for most of us with feet that have been shaped and moulded from the shoe then welcome to an emerging trend in training called the 'Barefoot Revolution'.

Here’s a list of seven things people should not be doing in the gym and some exercise alternatives.

3D Training, the essence of functional training
The essence of ‘TRUE’ functional training is 3 dimensional (3D) and it does not require balls (however they can be useful) or funny fancy equipment including those machines that are 1 dimensional. It is a concept of how to move your body and in the following article I will show you how to apply this to your exercise program to increase your ability to perform.
10 reasons to start rebounding
