The Five Components of Personal Training

Cardio

Cardio is defined as any exercise that raises your heart rate for an extended period of time.   Whether a stair climber, a bike, a treadmill or whatever other piece of equipment you choose, we can help you get maximum results with minimum effort.   Proper and consistent cardio work takes less time than you think, helping you develop endurance, boosting your mood, heart function and immune system.   Cardio exercise may also lower body fat and decrease the risk of developing depression and other chronic diseases.

Resistance Training

Done the right way, resistance training develops more definition in your muscles.   And the more muscles you have, the more calories you burn.   You can even burn calories while resting.   Resistance training can be performed using free weights, body weight, machines, tubing, bands, and stability balls.   Benefits include improved productivity, bone density, as well as reduction in stress, hypertension, and osteoporosis.

Flexibility

Flexibility is important to people of all ages!   One of the greatest benefits of stretching is that you're able to increase the length of both your muscles and tendons.   This leads to an increased range of motion, which means your limbs and joints can move further before an injury occurs.   Some of the benefits of a regular stretching routine are reduced muscle tension, injury prevention, enhanced muscular coordination, increased circulation of the blood to various parts of the body and increased energy levels.

Nutrition

A healthy diet is about eating smarter, not less.   You can actually eat your favorite foods and still get fit.   The key is to understand how your body works, what it needs, and dispel common myths about food.   For example, you need fat forhealthy skin and brain function.   And you must have carbs to fuel your body for everything you do, especially exercise.

Personal Attention

Your trainer will work with you to develop the right mix of the 5 components, guiding you on a path to reach your goals quickly yet safely.   Your personal trainer keeps you motivated and committed, lowering your chance of injury and steering you away from boredom.   In short, your trainer removes the guesswork so you can focus on getting fit.
