Simply means movements that God designed your body to perform naturally. A squat is a natural or functional movement. You squat every time you sit in a chair. Strapping yourself in a leg extension machine and extending your legs with 100lbs on them is not natural and not functional. Functional movements are safer and reduce opportunities for injuries. Each time you pick up a child your deadlift. Each time you place your suite case in the overhead compartment you are doing a snatch.
It is possible to lose 20 lbs. of body fat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or drug/supplement regimen. I've seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. The more times you perform the same workout the easier it becomes and the less results fitness results are achieved. Performing a wide range of movements and workouts continues to deliver results because your body has to work hard to adapt. Examples of this are aerobics classes, kickboxing classes. They are hard the first time, but become easier as you become more consisting yielding less results.
In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 180 lbs. to 165 lbs., while adding about 10 lbs. of muscle, which means I've lost about 25 lbs. of fat. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics).
Good Coaching Measuring your performance during each work out lets you see your improved performance. Good Coaching ensures your are using the correct technique which helps your get the most results while reducing the risk of injury. We incorporate a few base line routines that occasionally repeat themselves so you can measure and observe your increasing fitness.
High Intensity Low Impact Workouts Performing the exercise routines in the least amount of time possible while still maintaining safe and correct posture. High intensity maximizes your time and constantly improves your fitness levels. If aerobic exercise, and what we mean by aerobic exercise is long, slow distance...if that really worked, things like walking or jogging on the treadmill, moving on the elliptical, using the stair-climber or stepmill – then everyone in the gym that is on that equipment, would not be fat! Right? And yet what precisely you see is that people that need to lose weight never ever get it done that way. The reason for that is muscle burns fat for fuel and if you ultimately want to effect the amount of bodyfat you’ve got then you have to affect your muscle mass. And the only way to affect your muscle mass is by doing exercise that challenges the ability of that muscle mass to produce force. (HINT - it's called resistance training)
