During lockdown BMF quickly and very successfully implemented our online offering, BMF AT HOME. Delivering live, functional fitness workouts to our members all over the world and in the convenience of their home or workplace. As our offering developed over the lockdown period more and more new workouts were added to complement our signature workout and most popular - Military Fit.
About Release & Recover
One of these sessions was RnR (Release & Recover). A bodyweight session that uses animalistic movement patterns and mobility drills to harness your inner strength.
Have the freedom to move and the balance and control to perform. This session aims to bring your body back to its roots, developing the foundations on how we were born to move. R&R is an essential part of our complete programme, looking after your body is too, we only have one! We train hard at high intensities all week, so R&R is a chance to recover and work on our weaknesses, in turn making us stronger.
R&R combines various training methods to optimise your movement capabilities and build strength from the inner core. Develop strong posture, greater muscular control and joint stability to cope with anything life throws at you.
If you’re taking part in other BMF programmes, you’ll need to keep the animal in you functioning at its best. If you’re just starting out or coming back from injury then this programme can help you get back into more intense training. Improve your muscular and connective tissue function whilst developing a strong core.

Specialisms:
These 45 mins sessions focused on mobility and prehab exercises. It is in high demand from our members, with brilliant feedback from both our instructors and our members, so it’s here to stay!
Recovery is a critical component of any successful training programme and is probably the least planned and under-utilised method to enhance performance. A balanced combination of rest and recovery along with good nutrition and regular exercise should be the basis of any fitness regime.
Mobility is the joy of moving freely and easily. Healthy muscles, bones and joints allow us to perform all types of movements - from everyday tasks to enjoying our favourite hobbies and the toughest of BMF sessions. It allows us the ability to perform movements such as: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling and crawling.
This workout isn’t just about flexibility, that’s only one element of mobility, its improving movement quality, preventing injuries, improving performance and ensuring our members have all of the tools they need to reach their fitness goals.
The skeleton is pulled and adjusted by the muscles that attach to it. Our muscles grow and adapt based on our most common movement patterns we use in everyday life. Depending on our lifestyle we may use some movements more than others, we may have developed bad habits. This all leads to muscles developing unevenly, some becoming tight and short, others maybe lose or long. This leads to us not moving correctly and could eventually lead to stress and wear on our joints.
