It's a very simple training system. Consisting of using your body in space with
simple counts. Music is optional. With every position and exercise your
concentration is focused on alignment, form, breathing, pacing, contracting or
relaxing. You can move easily and flow from one exercise to the next with no
wasted time or effort. Because it flows so well, you can make it cardiovascular
or take designated controlled strength training time breaks.
Imagine you can do a whole hour of cardio without getting on the boring, dreaded
treadmill or elliptical machines. At the same time you can tone and strengthen
your core as well as every other muscle in your body. Strength training and
cardio all in one!
Since you are using your own body weight in different positions you can go
deeper into the muscles for better sculpting and strength enhancement by
holding positions, changing the rhythms, or altering the positions slightly.
You are always in total control of how much energy you exert for each exercise.
If you want to sculpt deeper into the muscles, you simply arrange your
positioning deeper into the exercise position. If you want to lighten up the
load you simply release the contraction to a more comfortable exertion level.
You will learn specific breathing techniques to help you sustain more difficult
positions, to make them more tolerable. Because you are using only your body in
space there are no limitations to the positions or exercises you can do. You
are limited only by your own imagination. You can work every and any muscle in
your entire body to its maximal exertion levels. There are no machines to waste
time arranging and dismantling weights or changing positions.
These exercises can be done anywhere with little or no equipment. You may want
some privacy but if there is room for your body and available oxygen, you can
do the workout!
If you've ever used those gym machines, how do you think they translate into
real life everyday activities or even sports? Maybe you get stronger? Maybe,
but study after study has proven that training with traditional gym equipment
doesn't carry over into day to day functioning or sports performance
improvement.
Lactate Threshold Strength Training does though. You are imitating with exertion
simple everyday movements and from those positions holding, breathing and
correcting alignment and perfecting form. So it completely translates into the
day to day movements of life and living. Of course you can imitate your
specific sports as well. Helping you make incredible sports performance gains.
Lactate Threshold Strength Training also carries over into postural awareness
and correction. We all know that correcting posture can make you look inches
taller and years younger. Holding your body in specific positions with no
distractions or machines to lean on puts you face to face with your postural
habits so you work on them consciously with effort in every single exercise
challenge.
With the simple counting system that I use, you can track your progress very
easily. So easily, that you don't really need logs and complicated spread
sheets. Your gains will be consistent, trackable and very measurable.
Weight machines and gym equipment generally shape the body so it looks bulky,
'like a gym body' where the parts don't all seem to fit together. This is
because in a gym environment the machines force you to work muscles separately
in isolation from the core and the network of the whole body. Lactate Threshold
Strength Training integrates whole body movements and brings all the parts
together into each exercise. Because you are using all the muscles
synergistically in a concentrated effort pulling all of the muscles into one
dynamic reactive coil ready to spring into the next movement or challenge. This
creates long lean flowing muscles that flow just like the workout flows.
How Does The Workout Go?
Generally after the initial assessment I discover peoples strengths and
weaknesses and what I mostly discover is people want a boost to their
metabolism to burn fat. In order to burn fat what I want to do is target all
the largest muscles in the body. Which are the legs and of course the gluteus
maximus?the largest of all. So to be sure to get that metabolic lift I will
spend the first half hour of the session on legs and glutes. Don't worry
ladies, your legs won't get bigger from all the leg work because we use no
weight but your own body weight, with lots of isometrics and repetitions. I
also have to add hear that you will see significant flexibility gains because
you always go deeper into the positions as you get stronger. Because you have
no machines to support you with just your body in space you will get
significant core work by just holding your self up and maintaining your balance
without something to lean on.
The nest half hour covers chest, back , shoulders and arms but remember with
each exercise every single body part is connected and working for thermogenesis
and overall strength and coordination. Abs are last and don't take long because
they have been working the entire time, now its just a finishing process of
carving a little deeper. The stretch at the end just feels good and prepares
you to relax and be energized for the rest of the day. It's time to start an
intelligent exercise program so sign up today and make your body gorgeous!
