Anyone who's been following Global Fast Fit will have at least caught wind of the GFF Standard Routine.
15x Pushups
15x Plank Leg Lifts
15x Bodyweight Squats
250m Run
The Standard Routine consists of the above exercises being done in succession with as little break in between in order to achieve the fastest time possible. A noble measuring stick of the the upper and lower body, core strength, cardiovascular health, and overall agility.
The organization's tagline is the Universal Fitness Standard, in order to showcase its ability to quickly gauge one's physical fitness through the above routine.
The other tagline is Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere, because literally anyone can do the routine, whether you've never exercised in your life, or if you're a career athlete. It can also be done whenever and wherever you feel like doing the routine since you don't need any equipment, and all the physical resistance you need is created through your own bodyweight.
Is this all Global Fast Fit is? Not even close.
As a growing global health initiative, Global Fast Fit certainly pushes for physical development. One of the stated missions is to combat and work towards eradicating lifestyle diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. However, it isn't limited to only physical development.
Human development is as much a goal as anything else within Global Fast Fit. Physical fitness is just one aspect of that goal. The owner of Global Fast Fit, John F. Groom started this venture as "a way to leave the world a better place than when he entered it". This isn't his only philanthropic venture, but it certainly will be his biggest.
His focus for human development entails creating opportunity, especially in places where there's a deficit. The growing East Africa team consists of a vibrant and eclectic mixture of medical professionals, sports athletes, gym owners, students, trainers, and much much more. Each member has done their part to not just improve the physical well-being of those around them, but to improve the overall quality of their lives.
There are many examples of this:
- Classrooms have been remodelled and revamped
- A general store has been opened to service a community in need
- Students have been provided with the necessary nutrition
- Community workouts and hikes have been organized
- Children were given instruments and training on how to play them
So before you judge Global Fast Fit as just a fitness routine, then think again. There certainly is movement involved for anyone that's participated in or has been affected by this organization and it isn't just 250m forward, but forward in life.
