Queenax
Playtime
What is it?
The focal point for functional training – an approach to fitness that uses your bodyweight for results. Pull, push, punch – use monkey bars and dip bars, as well as suspension belts, punch bags, boxing rings and more. It’s basically a climbing frame, for adults.
What’s it for?
All sorts of exercise to build strength, flexibility, muscle tone and endurance. It’s also a great way to mix things up and keep your workout interesting.
Who’s it for?
Absolutely everyone, whether you’re looking for gentle stretching or serious reps.
What do I do with it?
The options are endless. We’ve put a few ideas below, but the real fun is exploring for yourself:
The Monkey
- Start hanging at one end of the Queenax.
- Move one hand forward onto the first monkey bar.
- Work your way along to the other end of the bars.
The Pull-Up
- Hang with straight arms and an overhand grip. Retract the shoulder blades back and down then pull your chest towards the bar.
- Pull up as high as you can before lowering yourself with control back down to hanging.
The Tricep Dip
- Sit on the plate with hands either side of your legs, and slide forwards off it with legs extended in front of you.
- With your arms straight, bend your elbows and lower yourself towards the floor while keeping your bum close to the plate.
- Brace your core and push back up until your arms are straight but not locked. Repeat.
