PSYCHOLOGY
It is THE KEY to PERMANENT RESULTS. You must have a vision. A goal. Something that will inspire you. Something that will drive you to really WANT to do what's necessary (exercise & nutrition) in order to achieve your outcome. This is true in all areas of your life. If you dread working out, then you must find key motivating factors which will inspire you to get up and do the workout even though you don't feel like it.

For example: If you are lying down with low back pain and don't feel like you can even get out of bed, you will probably stay in bed and keep focusing on the pain in your low back. But if a starving tiger suddenly walked into the room and threatened to eat you alive, you'd forget all about the low back pain and get up and run. That's the power of focus.

This is where we come in. We specialize in directing your focus to help you do things necessary for achievement of the results you desire.

EXERCISE
The most important thing regarding exercises is not only which ones are best for your particular needs, but HOW you do the exercises you've selected and how often you perform each exercise. Anyone can pick up a book or a magazine, select a few exercises and do them. The problem is that photos demonstrating those exercises are incomplete. They show you "Start here" and "End here" photos but nothing in between, which is the critical component of performing each exercise in order to maximize its benefits.

Most people do exercises incorrectly, they end up getting injured or just feel uncomfortable doing them. All this leads to not following through with exercising and ultimately quitting.

This is where we come in. We demonstrate each exercise and then monitor and adjust your movements until you get completely comfortable with doing the exercise on your own.

NUTRITION
Exercise is only about 1/2 of what's required to achieve fitness goals. Nutrition is the other 1/2. Many people think that exercising 3 times per week or doing cardio an hour a day is enough to get or keep them fit. This is why you see so many people exercise on regular basis yet are completely out of shape or just don't seem to be making any progress.

With nutrition, it's not only WHAT you eat but HOW you eat. DIETING WILL NOT GET YOU PERMANENT RESULTS. The "how" you eat is critical. Our bodies use fat for energy throughout the day. If you eat 2 large meals daily, like most busy people, or you starve yourself by eating like a bird, thinking this will help you lose weight, all you are doing is sending a signal to your body to store everything you eat, healthy or not, as fat to be used for energy later on. The key is eating smaller portions on more frequent basis throughout the day. TO LOSE WEIGHT or body fat, YOU MUST EAT MORE, NOT LESS. This process speeds up your metabolism, so your body "burns off" what you put into it, instead of hoarding it for energy by storing it as fat. Then you can eat some ice cream or chocolate or pizza a few times per week and not slow down your progress.

This is where we come in. We design a nutrition plan specific to your caloric needs and monitor your lean and fat body mass to ensure that you are consistently getting closer to your outcome.
