Active Play on the Railyard Obstacle Course
The best way to describe Railyard Active Play is for you to close your eyes and transport yourself back to when you were 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 years old. You are playing on the Jungle Gym, monkey bars, a pile of rocks, mound of dirt, on a log or some old tires. Can you see it? You have no inhibitions or restrictions. You duck, jump, crawl, climb, leap, and roll around on whatever it is, and your creativity allows you to make up each move as the challenge presents itself. You don’t know you’re not supposed to be able to do these things, you just do them. I’ll bet this has brought a smile to your face, hasn’t it? More on the Railyard Obstacle Course here.
That’s Railyard Active Play!

Railyard Active Play on an obstacle course or in nature is fundamentally designed for youth physical development. Children who engage in this unique, tried and true exercise program will reap the extraordinary benefits. This is highly effective exercise and fitness designed by PLAY. The movements you used for physical play as a child are the same movements that, when executed as illustrated in this manual, provide the superior results of Railyard Active Play. These movements have been used by humans throughout history; from prehistoric man to our more recent ancestors who ran, jumped, crawled, climbed and leaped as a part of daily life. Their ability to utilize these talents allowed them to survive their physically demanding and dangerous environments.  Luckily, we don’t have to outrun predators today for survival. However, the design of the human body has not changed. A body with a history of Active Play will give you the ability to traverse the world in a much more fluid, prepared state of being and wellness, whether that means playing sports or putting something up on a shelf.

Primal movements and Paleo exercises are demonstrated by Joshua Conn, CSCS. Primal-style workouts are one of the hottest new fitness trends—and with good reason! Exercises that use the environment to inspire "natural" movement are not only more fun than traditional strength moves, but they also challenge your entire body at once. And when you work everything from head to toe, you burn major calories, improve balance, global coordination, flexibility, joint function and stability. In this video Joshua Conn bring the outdoors in and uses the Railyard Obstacle Course as a platform for primal exercises. The Railyard is perfect for primal movement, it mimics the natural environment, replicating round logs, boulders, and hills. Railyard's length and round Rails, not found on any other exercise equipment allows Joshua to include forward, backward and lateral movement plus natural instability to what are normally movements in a single plane. Railyard Rails can be inclined, another unique feature, which lets you execute movement at an angle - just like you find in nature. The world is not flat - train for the real world.

Sled Pulls with Railyard Weight Sled and Fitness Anchor

How to do Sled Pulls

Secure the weight plates or alternative weight onto the Sled with the rope attached to it. Hold the other end of the stretched rope as far from the sled as possible. Face the sled, standing either side of the rope, gripping tightly. You should be bent at the hips and knees with legs well spaced apart for stability. Pull the sled toward you with a hand-over-hand action at speed, until the sled is up close to you and you're out of rope. Notes: The Railyard Weight Sled can be pulled from either side, so you can attached two ropes, one on either side and pull the Sled back and forth with a training partner. Sled Pull Guide The sled pull is a true functional exercise that really exhausts the upper body, focusing on the back, shoulder and biceps, while developing a crushing grip. Essentially, this exercise involves pulling a heavy, weighted sled toward you, that's tied to a rope. The amount of friction you get from the exercise will greatly differ between your sled and surface combo choices. How you train with the sled should depend on your fitness goals. Loading the sled with a minimum amount of weight and training for longer distances will help build endurance and cardiovascular capacity, whereas using heavy weights over shorter bursts will develop strength and power skills.
