Gravity Fitness Training
6 Reasons to Love Circuit Training
Circuit training is a form of total body toning and conditioning that consists of a series of sequential short bursts of resistance training exercises where each set of repetitions targets a difference muscle group in the body. A “circuit” refers to the set of exercises included in the training session. Typically, the switch between exercises (or “stations”) happens quickly to enhance the cardiovascular benefits of the rotation. By quickly switching from working one group of muscles to another, the body does not require a rest in metabolic rate between exercises; this continuity helps to accelerate and maintain increased heart rate, oxygen consumption and caloric burning. Resistance training exercises are often combined with aerobics to further increase these benefits. Many of my clients at Morphe notice that circuit training accelerates their metabolism, gets them to perspire more profusely, and promotes rapid weight loss and body sculpting. Why We Love Circuits 1) Circuit training targets different muscle groups individually, providing a focused conditioning and toning workout that sculpts and defines the entire body. 2) Circuit training increases heart rate, oxygen consumption and combines the benefits of resistance training with the increased caloric burning power of aerobics! 3) Circuits can consist of any variety of exercises, and may be adapted to any environment, such as an outdoor obstacle course where you do reps at each station. 4) Circuit training is lively, challenging and FUN! It gets your adrenalin and endorphins flowing and helps your body detox through increased perspiration. 5) Circuit training accelerates weight loss and body sculpting by increasing metabolic rate and stimulating caloric burning. 6) And most importantly: Results! Circuit training delivers fast and dramatic results that mean you’ll look better this evening than you did when you got up this morning!
10 Reasons To Train With The Gravity System
Many people have asked me about my preference for the EFI Gravity System over any other exercise equipment when training my clients. The Gravity System is a fun and innovative exercise system that consists of an adjustable glideboard with versatile handles and pulleys. After years of seeing optimal results and personal satisfaction in clients, both young and old, I know I’ve made the best choice in training equipment. Here are the top 10 reasons why I made this choice – and stick with it. 1. Full Body Conditioning: The Gravity system provides total body conditioning using Pilates or resistance training. This system increases lean muscle mass, decreases body fat, improves circulation and posture, releases endorphins, expedites weight loss, and promotes overall physical strength. The Gravity System builds a rock solid core, while elongating and toning every muscle group in the body. 2. Awesome Results (aka Satisfied Clients): All of Morphe’s regular clients are seeing consistent, sustainable, awesome results, and each is progressing at his or her own pace. In the words of one female client, age 54: “I’ve developed strength in areas of my body where I had always been weak. I look and feel younger now than I did 10 or even 15 years ago!” 3. Safety: The Gravity System offers low-compression back support, designed to reduce and eliminate chronic back pain and guard against injury. 4. Natural Body Weight Resistance: The Gravity System uses your own body weight as resistance against the natural and consistent pull of gravity. Using body weight resistance prevents the compression usually associated with the use of free weights or machines. The glideboard rolls up and down on an adjustable track, and you literally pull or push your own weight at variable inclines. 5. Versatility: Personal and Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists and all kinds of fitness professionals use The Gravity System. It is useful for Pilates, high-performance sports training, physical rehabilitation and body sculpting. No matter what your fitness goals, this system delivers the results you’re after! 6. Award-Winning Design: The Gravity system has won three innovation awards within the health club industry, and is designed to support intense total body workouts without the need for additional accessories or machines. This single, natural, gravity-based total system offers everything you need for full body conditioning. 7. Easy to Use: During your very first session, you will learn to love and feel comfortable with the Gravity System. Gravity allows for simple and easy transitions between individual exercises as well as the ability to combine and intensify specific movements, strengthening various muscle groups at the same time. 8. Easy On The Joints: The Gravity System is designed to strengthen and support joints, and is often used by Physical Therapists to recondition the joints after surgery or injury. 9. Universal: The Gravity System is packed with features that allow it to be specifically adjusted to individual needs based on size, weight and general physical condition. Because of this, Gravity is safe and easy to use by all kinds of people - no matter how “out of shape” you might be, and is safe for use during and after pregnancy. 10. It’s Fun: Clients return because the workout is fun and leaves you feeling full of energy. Many first-timers find it a lot easier than they had expected. Training sessions are intimate and personal, with a maximum of six participants. I get to know everybody’s personality and body issues, and target the session to each group individually. Everybody feels a little bit transformed after each session – mind, body and spirit.
