| The
MyoFitness Philosophy
At MyoFitness, Personal Training means careful attention to each
of the four components of fitness: nutrition, weight training,
cardiovascular training, and stretching/flexibility training.
Unlike companies that focus exclusively on one aspect of fitness,
MyoFitness works with the whole person to enhance every part of
life, both at work and at play.
Myofitness offers many training
options but we focus on Functional Training, using a variety of
techniques and equipment to improve total body fitness.
- Create a sound fitness foundation
Functional training creates a strong foundation on which to
build, starting low and moving on to heavier weights, more sets,
more exercises and more intensity as time goes on. This is crucial
aspect of training, because if you start off using too much
weight, doing too many sets or exercises, or tackling a high
intensity routine on a weak foundation you will
be more prone to muscle imbalances and overuse injuries. This
type of training applies to everything we do, from bending and
twisting while unloading the dish washer to playing major league
sports.
- Prevent injuries and build to optimum performance
Building a strong foundation through Functional Training prevents
muscle imbalances and makes us perform at the optimum level.
Our tendons, ligaments, joints and muscles have thousands of
receptors and when we try to lift heavy weights, cut fast, jump
high and sprint our central nervous system (CNS) sends impulses
to all of these receptors. If the CNS receives any negative
feedback from these receptors, it puts a governor on the corresponding
muscle groups and slows the system down to avoid injury.
- Workouts that maximize the way our muscles work
Functional Training uses a variety of exercises to achieve maximum
results. This type of workout is far superior to than just using
stationary weight equipment at a gym. Our muscles work five
different ways; agonists, antagonists, synergists, stabilizers
and neutralizers. Using only weight machines does not allow
our muscles to work properly and can lead to muscle imbalances
and overuse injuries. Functional Training mimics the way our
bodies are designed to work: on multiple planes, in multiple
directions, and at different speeds all at the same time.
- Build core strength and balance
Whether you're an accomplished athlete or just starting to think
about getting into shape, a sound foundation of core strength
and balance are the keys to success.Think about this: when you
are pushing a lawnmower, vacuum cleaner, a stroller, or a wagon
you don’t have any type of support behind you for leverage
or stability. You have to rely on your core strength and balance
to do the work, and steadily increasing core strength and balance
is exactly what Functional Training does for you.
