Fencing · Preview
Setup
Put on your mask, jacket, and glove, and check your blade. Check the piste and nearby space, then loosen up your legs and shoulders.
Start phase
Start with advances and retreats from the en garde position. Keep your distance as you continue with attacks and parries.
End phase
Slow your footwork and gently loosen your legs as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Quick footwork and lunges work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Push off with your legs and control the blade tip precisely with your arm.
Common mistakes
Never point your blade at anyone without a mask. Keep your front knee from collapsing inward when you lunge.
Breathing
Keep breathing as you link footwork and lunges. Settle your breathing between points before your next attack.
Coach tip
Record the time spent fencing. Do not enter points or touch counts.
