The Athletic Training Circuit, (ATC)
|
 |
| All of us have admired the
long lean athletic physiques that are featured every four years at
the Olympics. Why do they look so long and lean while the rest of us
just seem to get shorter and bulkier from exercise? Are they doing
something different? |
Yes, they are! They do
not just spend hours lifting weights or "doing aerobics". These
athletes do DYNAMIC training. They do a variety of high speed
exercise activities that stimulate "Fast-Twitch" muscle fibers, the
fibers that produce the special look that athletes have: lean, agile
and graceful.
The Athletic Training Circuit (ATC) at GET FIT! Athletic Training,
targets these muscle fibers through sets of special high speed
exercises that stimulate Fast-Twitch muscle conditioning. The amount
of work that these exercises make you generate in about ONE HOUR
equals almost 4 HOURS of traditional weight lifting. Wouldn't you
want to burn more calories in less time every time you exercise?
The Velocity Enhanced Resistance Training (VERT) computerized
exercise machines have been used for training Olympic athletes for
many years. The "isokinetic" resistance has been a mainstay of
athletic rehabilitation for over 30 years and is used to safely
rehabilitate after surgery. Modern computers have now brought this
process of high speed resistance training to all of us. Now, you too
can train at the speed of life and maintain that feeling of youthful
agility forever.
Ever get bored walking on a treadmill or sitting on an exercise bike?
If you get bored with exercise, imagine becoming the player in a
video game. A game where you have to move to make the player on the
game screen move. Imagine playing "Space Invaders" and having to move
forward and back, left and right, or fast and slow in order to evade
the invaders and score points. Getting bored yet? Hook up the pulse
rate monitor and the game will play with you at an intensity that
will keep you in your heart rate training zone for up to 30 minutes.
Feel like sitting on a bicycle now?
Finish the ATC with interactive floor exercises (plyometrics) that
are designed just for you. You have now exercised like an athlete!
You have stopped isolating your muscles and are now teaching them to
work together. In just a very few workouts, you will feel a
remarkable change. Muscle soreness disappears while at the same time
performance and strength improves. Activities that you thought were
lost to youth can now be recaptured.
The ability to move with agility decreases as Fast-Twitch muscle
fibers atrophy, starting at age 25. To regain Fast-Twitch" fibers,
you cannot exercise slow. You must exercise at the speed of life. If
you play basketball, softball, tennis or golf, or even if you just
like to walk, the ATC will give you the power, agility and confidence
to be the best you can be. |
