What is General Fitness?
Most people's idea of general fitness is losing a few pounds and looking better in a bathing suit. I certainly agree, but there is more... way more.
THE PROBLEM:
Most people are either seeking the easiest solution to fitness or the hardest solution. We all know that the 5-minute ab chair doohickey thing on late night TV won't do you any good but that 2-hour long work till you puke (c'mon you can do more than that!!!) boot-camp really isn't very healthy either.
Somewhere in the middle lies the healthy choice.
But the average person... no, the average personal trainer doesn't understand what it is that YOU as an individual needs to be your healthiest.
Things like:
-
How to improve the health of your joints while exercising

One of my clients and a friend is a successful Chiropractor and tells me how many patients he gets that receive injuries while involved in one of these 3 popular fitness fads that are sweeping the nation... I won't mention them here but believe me, you would be surprised if you found out! Sometimes the truth hurts.
So how does one enjoy a healthy fit lifestyle the right way? Read below.

I love training here! Brian is professional, accommodating,
gives lots of personal attention and it is a comfortable

THE SOLUTION:
Brian's clients are privy to his extensive knowledge acquired from a lifetime of experience in the field and by surrounding himself with some of the most respected authorities in the medical and fitness world. Many of the things Brian will teach you sound contradictory to what the rest of the fitness world is spewing... but then again, if what you are doing now is working so well then you wouldn't be reading this would you?
Proper exercise has been shown to do the following:
• Decrease stress
• Improve sleep
• Eliminate depression
• Burn fat and tone muscle (of course)
• Strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis
• Prevent or remove arthritis and joint pains
• Optimize and regulate your hormones such as thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, DHEA and more
• Improve your outlook on life
• Keep the doctor away!
• Strengthen your immune system and prevent disease
• Improve eye sight
• Improve brain functioning, that means make you smarter! (yes it develops the corpus collosum
between the two hemispheres of the brain making you smarter)
• Eliminate ADD, ADHD, dyslexia and more! (once again the power of neural development)
Now I'm not sure who wouldn't want the above benefits. Now do you see why I say fitness is more than just looking good in a bathing suit! Not that looking good isn't important, anyone who says otherwise is lying.
So what is general fitness?
Simple, it is performance. Performance means something different for every one; for the athlete it means being better at their sport, for a grandmother it may mean the ability to play with her grand kids without experiencing pain. Either way, a body that performs well, looks well also. Train for performance, train like an athlete, not a hamster!
According to the Denver Post consumers purchase $4 billion worth of exercise gear every year for their home but less than 40% of them use it and of those 40% people say that they use it less than expected.
Kurt A. Carlson, asst. professor at Duke University says that very few people have the motivation to exercise on their own at home. Everyone else should take their money and put it to better use by hiring a personal trainer to get them motivated.
I would suggest an even better use... use it on my services and get even better results! Realize that I am a little biased though ;-)
"Brian's dedication and commitment to his clients goes above and beyond. This is evident by his genuine concern for our well being and continual push to expand his knowledge and skill set. Aside from the personal benefits I've received from Kettlebells (decreased chronic low back pain, more balanced bilateral strength and improved overall core strength), if I'm not enjoying the activity, it's hard to stay motivated. Brian always maintains a great energy in his classes. Who knew working out could actually be fun!"
- Wendy
Reading about how to exercise won't cut it, you actually have to do it... Yeah, crazy huh?
