Your 3-step path to a healthy back
Holistic approach
In addition, the Back Fit Challenge is a holistic training program that focuses on the sustainable back health of each participant. Back pain sufferers are often inclined to receive pain relief as quickly as possible and, as soon as they feel better, old behaviors are often resumed. This leads to recurring cases of back problems and a tendency for these related issues to become chronic. Additionally, increased back problems are also the most common reason for the inability to work in western countries. It is not only physical problems such as herniated discs or muscular imbalances that lead to back pain, but also multifactorial causes such as psychosocial problems, stress, depression, smoking, an inflammatory diet, etc. These are some of the reasons why our participant documents also include tips and exercises to improve your overall mental attitude, reduce stress, sustain a consistently healthy lifestyle as well as guide your diet towards achieving various anti-inflammatory benefits.
A healthy back allows us to walk comfortably and upright throughout our life. Not only does it bring our body into balance, but it also influences our mental balance in particular. Therefore, if you take on the challenge and actively do something about your recurring back issues, you will not only be freed from the frustrating pain that can hinder your everyday activities, but you will also be able to encourage a healthy mindset in other areas of your life as well. More quality of life, performance and vitality in everyday life are waiting for you. So, it’s time to begin your personalized, Back Fit Challenge and start your training today!
Who is behind the Challenge?
The RFC-Fitness GmbH was founded in December 2015 by Ramin Waraghai and Niels Kretzschmar. With the Back Fit Challenge, we offer a highly efficient online back training program with individualized training plans. In December 2016, the training was certified by the Central Test Centre for Prevention, which means that up to 100% of the costs are covered by health insurance companies in Germany. Our goal is to encourage people to take care of their own back health, to move towards being independent of frequent doctor visits, painkillers or other passive methods and also, to be able to live a vital and powerful life--with the highest quality of life and performance possible. With the individualized online program, we would like to encourage each participant to train in a way that is independent of time and place and individualized and reasonable.
