Method Evolution Metabolic Fitness “Games” – Monday Evolution

jc9090 — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:47:01 +0000

This morning at our 5am bootcamp class I had several clients come up and request we host a fitness games / challenge – this has been a long requested concept by clients. (something outside the norm of our weight loss and calorie burn challenges)

So after a few seconds thought, I decided to throw everyone “a bone”.

Today marks (DAY 1) of this weeks Fitness Challenge. Every day I will post up a different fitness challenge for you to capture.

….here is your Metabolic Fitness Games – Monday Evolution

(this workout is a slight modification of an actual evolution we performed this morning at the 5am bootcamp)

Perform the following workout with minimal rest (and as always in excellent form!)

Run 400 meters

Walking Lunges and Bear Crawl x 100 yards (alternate bear crawl and walking lunges every 10 yards)

Shoulder Press + Burpee Ladder (10,9, 8, 7, 6, 5)

Shoulder Press 25% of your body weight
Ladder is performed as such: 10 Shoulder Press, 10 Burpees, 9 Shoulder Press, 9 Burpees, etc…down till you complete the “5 set reps”

Once done, mark your time so that you can go back at a later date, repeat the challenge, and see your improvement!

Enjoy!

Woodlands Personal Trainer, says “Go Greek!”

jc9090 — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:27:14 +0000

There’s a lot of talk about Greek yogurt these days.

You can even buy it at the local Starbucks.

Here’s the difference between Greek yogurt and plain yogurt:

Greek style has a lower sugar content and higher protein.

The texture of Greek style yogurt is creamier because it has been strained, and is more filling than regular yogurt.

Choose the Greek style or regular, whichever you prefer. But remember, to choose a low-fat or non-fat version. The full-fat options are too high in saturated fat.

Add in a handful of nuts or some fruit and you’ve got a great snack.

Woodlands Personal Trainer says Target Your Heart Rate

jc9090 — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:17:41 +0000

The Woodlands and Pearland Personal Trainer, JC Guidry, says that understanding the concept of target heart rate can be a valuable part of your exercise program.

The most basic way to figure out what your heart rate should be during exercise is to take the number 220 and subtract your age.

(Let’s say you’re 40 years old. 220 – 40 = 180.)

This number is your maximum heart rate.

You should exercise anywhere from 60% to 80% of your maximum, depending on your goals. (If you’re 40, 60% = 108 and 80% = 144.)

Knowing this number will help you increase your exercise level in a graded and careful way.

It will help you avoid injury, overexertion, and excessive stress.

How do you know what your heart rate is? A heart rate monitor is your best bet.

It’s one of my favorite fitness gadgets. You can buy them in any sporting goods store or here at Method Evolution. (our suggestion is to POLAR)

Try it out…..You’ll make amazing progress.
