Fitness, for better or worse is a progressive process. We have gotten oursevles into the shape we are in (good or bad) through consistent habits (good or bad). Consistent good habits are the cornerstone for reaching your personal goals. Appropriate frequency is dependent on your goals and your current fitness level.

When just starting out a fitness program with little prior experience, exercise can be stressful to the body. Taking a slower, gradual and less frequent approach is better to ensure consistent, long term success before moving onto something more advanced.

 

For weight loss, the idea is to burn the most calories during your workout time and increase strength to burn calories all day long by performing compound, multi-joint strength exercises grouped in super sets or in a circuit. This type of exercise burns more calories for your time and builds a strong base metabolism.

 

Strength training in on a semi-frequent basis will help to tone the muscles, firm up the body, change its shape and stroke your metabolic fires without "bulking".

 

For intermediate to advanced lifters, the conjugates system, performing maximum effort wrokouts and dynamic, speed workouts during the week have proven to give dramatic gains in strength.

 

Similar to how you would develop Maximum Strength, a conjugated system would be used, but with more emphasis on workouts with greater volume, producing a larger, more muscular physique

 

Sports specific training and periodization are important for individuals who want to beat their personal records, competitors, or folks that want to be simply fit. A combination of plyometrics, speed, agility and core strength assist with cardiovascular and explosive power.
