It Is All about You [Fitness Redefined Part 2 of 3]

Simply put, fitness/exercise is a science, but it IS NOT an exact science. It must be adapted, changed and related to each and every individual who partakes in any level of exercise. Various factors must be taken into account: 

  • Age
  • Weight
  • Height
  • Sex
  • Body type
  • Current level of fitness
  • Fitness goals
  • Limiting factors like:
    • Pre-existing or non-addressed injuries
    • Physiological struggles
    • Current nutrition
    • Environment
    • And more the list goes on...and on

You Me And Woody Woodpecker! [Fitness Redefined Part3 of 3]

Recap
In part 1, I pointed out the problem with the fad workouts, quick fixes and boot camps. In part 2, I talked about the defining factors that must be considered when looking into personal fitness. Now we are going to discuss how we get there in the real world.

First things first
First of all, you need to know up front that we do not practice the boot camp inspired method of tearing you down by towering over you and cracking a proverbial whip. That just tears you down!

Just like the woody woodpecker
All of our trainers start by getting to know you and what your goals are. Then they start chipping away at any existing objections and building you up; not tearing you down. Just like Woody the Wood Pecker relentlessly goes after trees. We use persistence and consistency throughout each session to build you up! We have found that words of encouragement week after week plants the seeds that when cultivated spring up in our clients and encourage motivation, nutritional and lifestyle changes, and even allow us to eventually addressing psychological inhibitions. This is Fitness done right!

Weight Training and You, Are YOU Missing Out?!

There are countless reasons to incorporate resistance exercise into ones program.  We see far too many people each day so concerned with their cardio program that they completely forget about the weights.  They stop progressing, still don’t feel “how they should,” and ultimately have not achieved the body that they wanted!  It’s not that they need the next greatest TV weight loss machine, the weights are what is missing.  Below you will find an article posted from Stealth Health Magazine that points out just a few of the major benefits of weight training.  Remember that like anything in fitness, doing things right with professional advice will help you achieve your goals much faster and do it in a safe and progressive fashion.  Talk to your local experts at Fitness Gear and Training about getting started on the right foot.

Spring Fitness Training Tips

I think its Spring again…..Here’s a great article by  Elizabeth Quinn to get you motivated for the upcoming summer months!

After a long winter of reduced activity or inactivity you might be tempted to get outside and train as soon as the weather improves.

However, I did come across an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal. Check it out and leave your thoughts
