Myofitness OPT Programs

Many other online fitness programs are more expensive, and they give you a template nutritional and fitness program that is not designed for your individual needs, taste, or lifestyle. It’s like buying a magazine and hoping that plan works for you. It may for a short time, but not for the long term.

We handcraft everyone’s nutrition plan, weight training plan, stretching plan, and cardio plan. We design them around your schedule, how many days a week you will lift weights, how much cardio you will be able to do, and what limitations you may have; bad back, knee, shoulder, etc.

Our service is low-tech but highly effective compared to other online services. High-tech online training companies and corporations have to charge you more to pay for their high-tech gadgets, and all of the overhead they have to pay. We have much lower overhead so we don’t have to charge you as much. We don’t want to confuse you by having you filling out endless forms and plugging all types of data into BMI, BMR, THR, and RHR calculators. This won’t help you achieve your fitness goals at all. We keep it simple for you so you don’t get overwhelmed and discouraged by all of the information on fitness.

Athlete Programs

Any athlete will benefit from this program, from top-notch athletes to weekend warriors. Every athlete will benefit from an intense workout that incorporates plyometrics, weight training, flexibility exercises, cardio and anaerobic training. Workouts are specific to what position you play. For example, in football an offensive lineman will need one type of workout, while a running back, corner, or safety will need their own sport-specific routines. Tennis players, golfers, gymnasts, and swimmers will all get their own sport-specific routines.

We will teach everyone, no matter what their goals are, how to keep objective measurements to help keep track of their progress. If you don't know how to keep track of these measurements you will never know if you're getting stronger, faster, or more flexible.

Senior Programs

Senior fitness is one of the fastest growing areas of the personal training industry. Muscle doesn't know age, which means you can get great results no matter what your age is. I have worked in the rehabilitation field for years and during this time i worked with many seniors who used walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. After several weeks of being on a weight-training program they lost the need for these mobility devices. Inactivity causes muscle to atrophy (get weaker). In as little as 36 hours of complete rest, muscle will start to atrophy. All the effects of aging are directly related to inactivity, not to aging. Look at Jack LaLanne for example.

Youth Programs

Exercise programs are important for kids of all ages. Every day on the news we hear reports that kids today are less fit and have more body fat than their peers even ten years ago. Technology that is helping the human population advance in today's world also has an unfortunate byproduct that has allowed children to become more sedentary.

Much of the overweight problem with our youth today is the parents' lack of knowledge in the nutrition field, by not teaching the importance of well-balanced meals and exercise.

While more adults are realizing the value of a well-planned fitness and nutrition program, many of the same people are having a hard time incorporating fitness and nutrition into their children's lives. Lifestyles that have today's family consistently on the go make us more likely to grab fast food, not nutritious food.

Research has shown that the blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall health of even very young children are affected by inactivity, poor nutrition, and too much body fat. We as adults must teach out children healthy lifestyles, but even more important we must teach them by example.

At Myofitness we are committed to the health and well being of tomorrow's adults.

Strength training for kids does not only increase strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning, but it also gives them more self-esteem and confidence. If they are stronger than their peers they won't get teased, they won't be picked last in gym class, they will be more popular, better in sports, along with other benefits too numerous to list. Studies say there is not starting age; any age is great as long as the workout is supervised by a fitness professional. Youth workouts use light weights and good form, but most importantly, the child must want to do it.

Pre- and Post Pregnancy Program

Pre-pregnancy workout programs and nutrition are designed to focus on your core strength areas: abs, low back, and pelvic areas. This will make for shorter labor time and quicker recovery. Also, full body fitness is important to increase muscle strength and metabolism to help you lose weight quicker after pregnancy.

During pregnancy it's is just as important to keep working out to keep your muscles strong. This is important for a shorter labor time and a quicker recovery. Your workouts will be designed according to what trimester you are in. This is important to know because of certain hormones that cause ligaments to become lax and can lead to injury if the wrong exercise is performed. Example: laying on your back as the months pass causes the baby and your added weight to put pressure on the inferior vena cava that returns blood flow to the heart, and can possibly make you pass out.

Post-pregnancy programs are designed with the same caution, since hormone levels may still be high. The nutrition plan design will depend on if you are breast-feeding or not, since this tells us how many calories you will need. You burn a lot more calories when you breast-feed. The workout is designed to lift the glutes, breast, lower abdomen, and reduce the thighs and arms.
