Strength, power, and endurance gains for fat loss and fitness lifestyle

The key is progression

Progressive resistance is the foundation of effective training. We must endure heavier forces. This is how we turn on the metabolic super fat burning furnace!

Strength training with progressive resistance boosts hormones

Lots of people want more and fitness is part of the solution. Healthy people should do 3-4 times per week of moderate to high intensity exercise. Focused people may work out all the time.

Some things you can do everyday

Set records, achieve personal bests and feel good about your health and fitness through exercise

Achievement through fitness

Through my career in fitness, I have met many achievement oriented individuals. Additionally, I have met real people with less than ambitious hobbies.

Validation vs. achievement

Most people want to be looked at positively in the eyes of others. If at times, you felt without others, it’s great to re-establish and find new connections. If you want people to find you physically attractive, perhaps you would select an outfit that looks fitting and appropriate for the occasion so that you can feel confident in your appearance.

Performance based goals

Your exercise program must include progressive resistance. There are unlimited ways in which you could practice your body through resistance training. Free-weights are common tools across the world for developing skill and strength in movement patterns.

I made this makeshift sled at my last gym. Furniture sliders and some steps which a pvc pipe to keep the weights in placed. This is conditioning that destroys fat everywhere.

Morning sled push session. This conditioning exercise destroys fat everywhere.

Practically speaking, you want to make progress in activities that make you move hard. Work hard with your pushing and your pulling and your hinging and your squatting.

All out intensity

Start optimizing your lifestyle. By gaining strength, speed, and power then you will achieve personal bests. Then you will have begun to alter the course of your body’s lifeline by activating your healthier genetic identity.

How accurate are heart rate monitors for fitness and exercise?

Heart rate monitors for workouts are a growing trend

There’s no surprise why — advantages from science help us with health and fat loss results.

The pod is near the heart

The pod is near the heart

 

 

How effective are heart rate monitors for fitness and fat loss?

Highly effective. You or your coaches are able to use real time bio-feedback that gets you motivated! I’m not saying they are always perfect.

Downsides of heart rate monitors?

Exercisers who use heart rate monitors may sometimes notice fluctuations in the readings (from a really low HR to a really high, momentarily). How am I to know if it is the pod that malfunctions or if it is the garment that connects to the device.

If you have paid for the class experience or are just a participant, the fluctuations can be distracting.

Over time, I have realized that some individuals are simply more prone to the variations. Perhaps the impact from the exercise would be a suitable explanation. And even though the technology is available to the public, we all come in different shapes and sizes. We wear things differently.

Highly valuable tools for fitness and fat loss

When you find what works for you, use it.

Then develop your skills with the tools you have available.

Performance based goals reign supreme.

Stay tuned…

Why Form and Function should be the focus more than just aesthetic ideal

There is some inspiration about the movement of others

Just think about all of the ways in which people can move. Everyday we display mobility, movement patterns, and how we interact physically with the environment.

Do whatever it takes to get your heart rate up

Do whatever it takes to get your heart rate up

Often we move for practice, whether it be football players doing drills or dancers coordinating moves, the way we move represents something about us.

We can look at fitness as movement

Maybe it’s not what you look like, or that you don’t look like anyone else. Fitness is expressed more through one’s movement. And there are many ways to get active.

Effective methods include resistance training, HIIT, strength, and bodyweight training.

Why not get stronger? There are many ways you could invest your time. Do something that supports EVERYTHING else.

Anyway that’s my words for now, stay tuned.
