We’d like to thank Dr. James Stoxen DC<\/a> for contributing this article. It’s provides a more vivid explanation of how Anthony Field Got His Wiggle Back. Read our in-depth interview with Anthony here Anthony Field of The Wiggles Overcame Physical Chaos to Achieve Physical Perfection – Here’s How
\n<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n
Back in 2004, Anthony didn\u2019t have a structured exercise routine. He needed to lose some weight and he certainly had to find a way to work out and eat a healthier diet, but he didn\u2019t know where to start.<\/div>\n
The Anthony Field, Circus-Playground<\/strong> Training Routine:<\/div>\n
Anthony had the same excuses that many other people had, with a few more that most of us could not understand. He couldn\u2019t just walk into a fitness center and mix in with the locals without getting hounded for autographs or questions about something wiggly.<\/div>\n
He did not like to go to gyms and disliked weight training and working out on machines. \u00a0He claimed he did not have the time. That is what people say when it\u2019s not that important to them right now.<\/strong><\/div>\n
He was also apprehensive about working out without re-injuring his back. This is common for someone who had suffered chronic pain for 25 years.<\/div>\n
Since most public gyms wont allow barefoot training, which he needed to pursue, he did not have the opportunity to in to a gym and follow choreographed drills using equipment such as pulleys, ropes and mechanical abductors.<\/div>\n
Together, Anthony and I devised a program that allowed him to strengthen his body in a setting other than a regular workout environment. He was able to do this backstage.<\/div>\n
Because he is on the road eight months out of the year, I thought it would be ideal to structure the training around playground equipment. This ensured he could exercise and play with his three kids while spending quality time with them. Anthony\u2019s act on stage is a bit like a circus and he loves the Circus life, so we call this the \u2018Anthony Field Circus-Playground Routine<\/strong>.\u2019<\/div>\n
Effectively, what we designed was a program that emphasized \u2018play\u2019 using playground equipment for training equipment which it was \u2013 perfect for this big kid!<\/div>\n
He could complete a session in approximately 15 minutes while with his kids, so it was great for a busy guy with a family.<\/div>\n
In the video below, you’ll see a group of hanging exercises I assigned him to help strengthen the muscles around his midsection. This helps to get the weight more evenly distributed perpendicular to the center of gravity.<\/div>\n
It\u2019s never too late to initiate the program. Start slowly, don\u2019t overdo it and give yourself time to recover. If you have children and find yourself at the park with a playground you can do the drills on the monkey bars (hanging).<\/div>\n
