Why Variation in Exercise is Essential

Our bodies are made to function as efficiently as possible. Once a person trains long enough doing the same exercise the body adapts and becomes more efficient at that exercise. For instance, lets say you do squats on a weighted machine every week, twice a week, at the same weight. Eventually, your body will adapt and you will have to increase the weight. Your muscles have adapted and became stronger.

Another example, lets say you jog at the same pace, same distance, three times a week. Eventually, you will have to increase the distance or speed if you want to keep increasing your cardiovascular conditioning. 

Something that trainers specialize in is knowing when to alter training protocols. We help prevent you from plateauing, over-training, or becoming bored with your workout. Trainers have years of experience, they know countless exercises, they know countless methods to advance towards your training goals. Trainers know how to ramp up and ramp down protocols for optimal results and outcomes. Most importantly, they safe guard you from going too intense too fast or having bad form during exercise- both are top ways of getting injured from working out. Having a sports medicine background, I am able to spot injuries before they happen. I strengthen joints and muscles prior to advancing to demanding activities and also help you rehabilitate or work around current injuries. 

Every pivot towards good health is a step in the right direction, no matter how big or how small. Please call to schedule your complimentary initial consultation and sample 1 on 1 training session.
