Video: Bogfit, Ireland’s greatest fitness craze, is back and it’s better than ever

Are you turf enough?

Conor Heneghan

“Remember, don’t land on the turf, you’ll make shite of it.”

All sorts of fitness crazes have been sweeping Ireland in recent years, but arguably none of them have had the same impact as Bogfit, a video demonstration of which went wildly viral in Ireland when it was released earlier this month.

Needing nothing but the natural elements that you’d find in any bog, it required little in the way of instruction and provided a great workout too; now it’s being taken up a notch.

In Part Two, our hero returns when the turf has been turned and attention now turns to the ‘footin’ (footing) and ‘hapin’ (heaping) aspects of the Bogfit routine.

“Remember boys, get everyone out doin’ it, it’s caught like a virus shpreadin’ across the world.

“They’re bogfittin’ from Australia all the way down to Canadia. Keep it goin’ boys. Keep her lit.”
