To Weight Training

You Haven’t Exercised in Awhile… QUITE Awhile: Whether you were an athlete in school (but have become sedentary through years behind a desk) or are completely new to fitness and weight training, your trainer will teach you how to use gym equipment, educate you on proper fitness nutrition, demonstrate proper exercise form, breathing and stretching techniques, and design a program with appropriate exercises for your body, level of fitness and personal goals.

You Have Unique Health Concerns: Studies report that 50% of the average trainer’s clientele have special medical needs such as arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, RSI, orthopedic disorders, or obesity; many clients report to us for help upon insistence of their physician. Your personal trainer can help you with these or other issues such as low back pain and pre/post-natal fitness, finding alternative exercises if necessary.

Over 35 and Experiencing Creeping Weight Gain: After the age of 20 our bodies lose up to half a pound of of muscle per year; the ratio of body fat to lean tissue often increases by as much as 30%. Exercising under the watchful eye of your trainer will help you replace that lost muscle, reduce fat, and increase your strength and resting metabolic rate, enabling you to remain fit and healthy well into your senior years.

You are a Regular Exerciser Looking to Reach or Maintain a Healthy Body Weight: Whether you seek body fat reduction, body shaping and toning, or muscle building and a resultant increase in body weight you can achieve the body you desire with the aid of a certified fitness trainer. So, if you are currently on a program that you’re now bored with, or exercising regularly but not achieving the results you had hoped for, seeking the advice of a fitness trainer for a customized new workout program can be just what you need!

Consistency Commitment & Motivation Issues: Failure to set realistic and attainable goals, coupled with a lack of motivation (i.e. “I’m too busy to exercise”) is a key factor in the failure to begin or maintain a consistent fitness program. Your trainer will inspire you, challenge you to push yourself to new levels, minimize your time investment while achieving maximum results, and hold you accountable to attend your scheduled workouts!

In the beginning, people just lifted heavy weights using the most basic compound movements and the result was stronger bodies and bigger muscles. As things like diet and supplements came into the picture, feats of strength wasn’t as much the name of the game as was building the perfect physique of muscular size and symmetry.

Athletes began utilizing the many benefits of weight training to enhance their sport specific performance; cross-fit training then became the next craze for more “functional” strength and conditioning to the point where it’s widely known and utilized in the general public.

Now there is MMA weight training. Mixed martial arts, or MMA, may be the most complex sport in terms of training a fighter’s strength and conditioning to optimal levels. MMA weight training, unlike most sports or forms of weight training, requires the martial artist to develop virtually every benefit that weights can possibly provide. Power lifters for example, need only train to have maximum power in lifting the heaviest weight possible for 1 rep for a particular lift. Things like muscular endurance doesn’t apply much to these athletes.

Football players mainly need explosive power and quickness as well, with habitually long rest periods in between plays allowing players ample time to recover, and usually players don’t have to have much concern with maintaining a particular body weight.

MMA fighters, however, need to have strength, power, strength and power endurance, relative strength, muscular endurance, speed, and both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. This is why MMA weight training needs to be very thought out and specific.

MMA fighters who only train their strength, or only train their strength endurance, or only train their power, etc, will be VERY limited in terms of reaching their full potential as fighters.

Here are some of the most important tips to remember when it comes to MMA weight training:

- Building absolute strength (1-3 rep maximum) should be an ongoing process. The stronger you are, the more potential you have to build power, speed, and explosiveness

- Though absolute strength is important, it should serve as the foundation and “pre-training” before weight training specifically for a fight

- As you build more strength in the basic lifts, begin adding power exercises such as cleans, dumbbell swings, high pulls, push press, etc. This is mainly the type of muscle movements you would use in a MMA fight

- After you have developed sufficient strength and power with basic lifts and power lifts, begin developing strength and power endurance – the ability to continuously exert maximum strength and power of long periods of time

- Mix your MMA weight training exercises with your cardiovascular conditioning exercises into circuits that mimic the rounds in a fight – remember, conditioning includes both muscular and cardiovascular

- Don’t just do exercises for the sake of doing them, learn about the most important muscles to develop as a MMA fighter and which exercise best develop them and what the best way of performing them are

Last but not least, mix it up and have fun with it. The great thing about MMA weight training is that because you need to develop every type of strength and conditioning possible, there are so many different exercises and workouts you can do. Just make sure you know the purpose of each exercise/workout and that you are developing the strength and conditioning most needed depending on when you fight.

Teeter Hang Ups Dex II Decompression and Extension Machine

This is an alternative to a roman chair that I was looking for to reduce stress on my knees. I just had surgery on my left one. I’ve used a traditional roman chair for years to work on my back, as well as to sit on and do sit ups. The leverage on this chair is on the upper leg, so the knee is unstressed and it works for both sit ups and the traditional back up. My ideal roman chair permits adjustment of the angle for back ups, this does not, permitting only a horizontal back up. The decompression hang is ok and, at least, a bonus. The quality of construction is very good. Don’t go swinging around on it because it can tip, but with normal use its very stable. There are cheaper roman chairs, but the price for what this is is fair enough. I’d highly recommend this for someone who wants the benefits of a roman chair without the stress on the knees and/or wants a simple decompression hang. Best for someone with a least a modicum of fitness.

Teeter Hang Ups Dex II Decompression and Extension Machine Specifications

Perform a variety of body-stretching and strengthening exercises in the comfort of your living room with the Teeter Dex II forward-rotating inversion machine. The machine, which offers a sturdy lap support and adjustable leg supports, puts your body in a fixed 90/90-degree position that helps flatten the lumbar curve and separate the vertebrae. Once in position, users can perform a host of inverted stretches and exercises, from back extensions to spine stretches. The traction handles, meanwhile, help you stretch your lower back in a whole new way, with the ability to increase the decompression of your spine for even better results. And as a bonus, most of the traction is applied to your hip joints and spine rather than the ankles and knee joints, thereby relieving pressure on your most vulnerable areas.

Construction details include a sturdy, square steel tube design, a durable powder-coated finish that resists scratches, and a washable, padded vinyl mat. And thanks to the corner feet, the Dex II is remarkably stable even on slippery floors. The Dex II fits users who stand between 4 foot 8 inches and 6 foot 6 inches and weigh up to 300 pounds. The unit itself measures 28 by 58 by 45 inches (W x H x D), weighs 66 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.
