SOME COMMON QUESTIONS
ABOUT
THE
NO-MOMENTUM EXERCISE PROGRAM
Why should I strength train?
As we age through adulthood, we typically lose 1/4 to 1/2 pound of muscle mass per year, while usually putting on at least that much fat. It is this slow change that has profound implications on well-being. It can be a downward spiral, consisting of:
less muscle less strength less activity lower metabolism
Any or all of these changes result in gained body fat. With proper strength training, this can be halted and even reversed!
Why "No-Momentum" training?
An osteoporosis study at the University of Florida in the 1980's found that profound strength gains occurred with the subjects who increased their bone density through very slow, intense exercise.
Today, we know that eliminating momentum in exercise will allow you to increase your workout intensity without risking injury, resulting in better gains in strength. Increased strength gains mean more muscle and higher metabolism, resulting in lower body fat. When performing No-Momentum Exercise correctly, you can expect changes in as little as 3 to 6 weeks.
What about my "aerobics"?
Your body only grows and changes when new demands are placed upon it. Most "aerobic" activity is steady-state, and although difficult at times, our bodies easily adapt to such activity. To improve your "aerobic capacity", you would need to run farther and faster at every workout -- forever!
However, by carefully increasing the stimulus through weekly strength training, your body will begin to change. This is why performing 20-minute workouts only 1 or 2 times per week (to momentary muscular failure) will provide you with more cardiovascular benefit than running miles per day.
Your instructor will monitor your progress precisely to determine how little exercise you require, rather than how much you can stand.
Can I get assistance regarding proper diet?
Your instructor has completed the Transformation Institute's School of Natural Hygiene course. He or she will help you learn about your body and its many requirements for health: exercise, sunlight, fresh air, diet, rest, sleep.
Guidelines and recommendations are available, and you will have access to as much or as little information as you wish. At our facility, you will learn why you are seeing the results that you are.
