There is a lot that can be said about the TRX Suspension Trainer, but one thing is for sure, it is the simplest and most versatile piece of equipment in today’s fitness world. It was originally designed by a Navy Seal who needed to stay in shape despite the limited space and equipment. Since then it has exploded in the fitness industry and it is currently being used nationwide by professional sports teams, coaches and top trainers. Here at Fitness Results our trainers love to incorporate TRX suspension training, and with our new Specialty Classes we now offer TRX Suspension Training Classes as well as TRX Rip Training Classes!

TRX Training involves using one’s own bodyweight and gravity as resistance. Using this simple concept, and a pair of TRX straps, you can complete a total body workout anywhere! You can easily switch exercises quickly to work different muscle groups just by switching positions or adjusting the angle. No matter what your goals are, TRX training is so versatile that it can help you reach several goals at once! Whether it’s building lean muscle, building bone density, power, coordination, flexibility and most importantly core and joint stability, TRX suspension training targets everything. The best part of it is that it forces you to use your core in every exercise. Your core is not just your abs, but it’s a group of muscles located around your midsection that helps keep you stable, balanced and coordinated. Your core actually consists of your abs, lower back, pelvis, glutes, back and chest muscles which help stabilize the spine and its surrounding areas. This type of training is functional and more translatable in the real world, since we have to use our core in everyday movements.

TRX training is perfect for everyone of all fitness levels, and can be easily modified by simply changing the angle (walking towards or away from the anchor point). This is a truly safe piece of equipment since anyone can start, and as you progress and grow stronger, your increased core and joint stability will help prevent future injury. Don’t take my word for it though; this is something you definitely have to try out for yourself! Please stop by Fitness Results for any questions regarding the TRX Suspension Trainer or the TRX Suspension Training Classes we offer.

When ever you are able to get some exercise in, it is definitely something great! Weekends are a wonderful time to take a break from the busy work days of the week. One of the best things that you can do with your Saturday is to make sure that you get your exercise in. It is a more relaxing time to exercise because you are not on anyone’s timeline but your own. When you have a great place to go and great friends to exercise with, it makes it even better.

Today at Fitness Results we had a wonderful time with our FREE fitness boot camps for the month of December! We had two classes this morning, one from 7 am – 8 am that provided a nice, early Saturday morning exercise session that got hearts pumping and muscles working. The second free session was from 8 am – 9 am which also made for an intense morning eye-opener! Not only did our boot-campers receive some excellent training to get their weekend started off right, but it was free of charge and will be the remaining Saturdays until the end of December.

The boot-campers and fitness friends were introduced to the Kangoo Jumps in our first Kangoo Clinic. They were familiarized and exercised, and had a blast learning the Kangoo Jumps techniques and procedures. We cannot wait until we kick-off the classes! That is why we are offering our Kangoo Clinics also free of charge each Saturday for the remainder of December from 9 am – 10 am, to demonstrate how to use the rebound exercise shoes that we love so much.

If you didn’t get to come this Saturday there are still two more free Saturdays in the month of December. Hope to see you there! Come to exercise and stay for the Kangoo Jumps familiarization! See you next Saturday! Same times, same place!

Loose Weight …Yes “Loose”

Fitness ResultsBMI (Body Mass Index), Exercise, Food, Personal Trainers, Resistance Training

By Yvette Patterson & excerpt from www.fitnessresults.com

The idea of this makes me laugh because a large group of people actually Google the term “loose weight.” The definition of loose is “not firmly or tightly fixed into place; detached or able to be detached.” The verb for loose is “set free, release.” Yes that is what we want to do right; set the weight free, release it from our existence. I’d like for the weight to be so loose it falls off because it’s not tightly fixed in place. Well guess what?, weight is looser than you think and with the right program of weight training, healthy eating choices and determination it can be permanent.

I have used many trainers throughout the years but it was not until I trained with Lance McCullough at Fitness Results that I finally started to see real results in my body, energy and overall health. Lance and his trainers at Fitness Results educate their clients about weight training and healthy choices. With a little education you can be on your way to loose weight to be lost forever!

Here is some information to ponder from the trainers at Fitness Results:

Why Losing Weight Isn’t Enough

When you lose weight, the scale and your clothes size will change but you may not be improving your Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI, is the percentage of your total body weight that is fat. So although losing weight is great its the BMI that is a much better measure of overall health and fitness than the scale.

Weight loss is made up of equal parts of fat and muscle. When you lose weight by cutting calorie intake without simultaneously training, your setting yourself up for failure down the road. Now follow this, if you are not in a weight training program, you will not maintain muscle. If you do not maintain muscle and lose weight due to reduced calorie intake, your body can actually have a higher percentage of fat than before your diet began. Since this can happen over and over in your lifetime; when you consciously lose pounds without weight training, you can literally diet yourself into obesity .

So how do you change the process so your losing equal amounts of muscle and fat? Weight training! Stimulate muscle development with resistance weight training. Weight training has two benefits; it decrease body fat percentage and build calories burned. The extra muscle you build continually burns calories, which increases your metabolic rate and helps you keep unwanted weight off.

Yes you can lose weight by diet alone but to have lasting weight loss you must add in exercise. To get the most benefit from your diet and exercise routine make sure weight training is a main component .

Fitness Results emphasizes improved BMI with a carefully prescribed, low-key program of weight training, aerobics and nutrition. If you’ve been frustrated with the results of programs you’ve tried in the past, we can guarantee that your experience at Fitness Results will be different. Work with us and watch your body finally respond.
