Benefits
of Professional Training Programs
An effective program is more than just
a collection of exercises. A good training program is like a
work of art. It should incorporate all aspects of your life
and be sustainable. It needs to suit you and fit your
lifestyle. Basic Training Programs are just that. They have
their place for new trainees or beginners. But, continuous
use of these basic uniplane or stabilized movements can
create faulty neurorecruitment patterns and eventually
imbalances and injury. Advanced Training Programs are based
on the human movement model and combine many elements of
movement, unstabilized and multiplanar. Professional
programs designed by master trainers utilize specific
protocols and are customized to fit the needs and goals of
the individual. They are tailor made for optimal results.
There are three progressive types of
training that we employ. The first being Innervation
Training; simply defined as basic exercises in isolation
form. The key to this
type of training is intensity and the importance of
maintaining it. It
teaches the targeted muscles to do the work resulting in
“conscious control of muscle movement”. Once this level
of control is reached, growth can occur. Fatigue and
exhaustion become “biofeedback”, giving the body the
information it needs to progress to greater intensity in the
form of extended reps and increased weight load. The muscle
is thus able to maintain the same level of intensity on the
first rep as it is the last. The second method is Hybrid
training, or functional training combined with other forms
of training. Functional training which evolved from
rehabilitation therapy consists of natural movements such as
twisting, bending, reaching, squatting, pushing and pulling.
The emphasis is on these multiplanar movements executed with
intensity, focusing on a group or chain of muscles as
opposed to just one. The object is to “implement
functional-training movements to get progressive
–resistance benefits results in multiplanar training of
the whole body.”
The third method is Metabolic Enhancement Training
consisting of high intensity interval training done with
resistance. The
effect is an oxygen debt maintained without full
recovery throughout the
first set of exercises. Once
the workout is complete the metabolism remains elevated and
continues to burn fat for up to 24 hours.(1)
