Always Remember The importance of "The Movement"

We are all individuals and we all have a varying level of Baseline Strength, a sort of "Strength Constant", if you can consider anything in this world we live in to be "constant"... Taking Baseline Strength into consideration, we all start we we start, in terms of resistance. Now, training for strength is important, because everyone wants to be strong. Also remember that when we do resistance training, we are stimulating our muscles to grow AND we are training our bodies to perform that specific movement. Now, taking a MOVEMENT like the squat for example: You most likely train in the Squat Movement because you want stronger legs, and that's fine, and too frequently do we forget that You Get What You Train For!!! You train the bench press, you train your muscles to perform that movement through space. Your body moves how you train it to move. Now, If you're an athlete and you're training your body with a particular movement, then you're probably training your body to learn that movement for your sport/activity. Here's what I'm getting at: It's perfectly fine to train your body with that movement, however, you want to use a resistance that will allow your body to perform that movement at a reasonable rate of speed, particularly at a speed that will help you move faster than the "other guys"... Let's say that you're training in the Bench Press: You're training that muscle group because your want to develop pushing power through your pectoral muscles. Here's where resistance becomes important: Heavier weights that only allow 1-6 to six reps cause you to train your muscle to maximally contract and do what is called "grinding", which is essentially squeezing maximally to control the resistance. Now, think about it: If a heavier weight takes longer to put up, and as a consequence, causes that muscle group to "grind", then is that a good weight for you to use? If you're in a sport/activity that requires you to push and shove for long periods of time, then you want to adjust the weight and train the desired muscles with that weight. At the end of the day, it all boils down to SAID Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands.... or in other words... You get what you train for/with. Amir

Why you Absolutely MUST have a Personal Trainer

You have to have someone to play "Drill Sargent". You need someone to "crack the whip". A major part of Reaching AND maintaining your fitness goals is CONDITIONING. It's matter of developing the necessary HABITS to reach your fitness goals. All of our daily actions stem from habits that we have developed, whether through conscious effort... or otherwise. Neuro-scientists have discovered that the brain has the ability to create new neural connections, and this means that we have the ability, AT EVERY AGE to develop new skills and abilities. Neuro-scientists refer to this flex-ability of the neurons to create new connections as "Neuro plasticity". Now....

Now... what does this discovery mean for you and how does it relate to the need for a personal trainer? We, as Personal Trainers, are primarily Role Models. Our habits and daily lives are to serve as a model for those who want to become more fit, to follow and learn from. It's like the Greeks of times long gone and buried... The Greek women would keep in their bedrooms statues of perfectly sculpted men and women, because on a deep, subconscious level, they understood that the baby would gradually be "molded" somehow by the mother's daily gazing on the statues and be born in the same or a similar image... WOW. A awesome personal trainer serves as your own Model, which you are to "gaze" upon daily ( Read: get your ass up and make it to every session you're paying for!!!". So, at the start of your quest for fitness, you absolutely must have a personal trainer.... Ta-ta for now... Amir Campbell Proud Owner of "AC FITNESS SOLUTIONS"

Can a few simple changes REALLY help you Burn Fat and Build Muscle Right Now...

Yes, a few simple changes can help you Burn Fat easily and start to Build More Lean Muscle Today. Think about it: How many times have you found rotten, rancid food hanging out in YOUR refrigerator? Why do you sometimes find food rancid in Your refrigerator? Because it was HIDING. Or more specifically, it was HIDDEN. Usually hiding/hidden underneath/ behind other food. Its no fun finding these "science projects", as I so lovingly choose to refer to them... However, while going through my girlfriend's refrigerator today, although I hadn't discovered anything putrid, I could help but to stop and think about... Product Placement.

Many companies pay supermarket chains MASSIVE MOOLAH for optimal placement of their products on the store's shelves. By optimal, I mean to say that companies pay to have their products place at or as close to eye level as possible. And you better believe that it is NO CO-INCIDENCE that the things that children love to eat are placed at the eye level of children. This product placement is not even taking into consideration the layout of stores, in which you are seemingly WOW!!! It's simple human psychology: We can only SEE what is directly in front of us. If you can't see it, then it might as not even exist to your conscious aware-ness... Simple, but true... and VERY powerful. Now, How can the science behind Product Placement help you Burn More Fat Today? Easy: 1)Fill your refrigerator with lots of fruits, veggies, high protein snacks, and lean meats, and some of your favorite "guilty" pleasures ( why we feel guilty about having pleasure is beyond me... and a another topic for another time..." 2) Put all of the things that you know you like to snack on in the BACK of your refrigerator. Now, watch and see how Quickly you start to forget all about that stuff behind the Good Stuff... because it's not really that important.... so you can take that junk food, and put it in the back of the refrigerator in "Your Mind".... Like the owls say.... "Any.....whoo!!!!!..." When you Start Today to make these simple changes in the way you organize your refrigerator, you'll AUTOMATICALLY start to eat better and Easily start to Burn more Fat and Build More Muscle. Imagine how much more fat you can burn when you combine the "Interior Decorating" tip with 20-30 of vigorous (read: FUN!!!) activity a day... Sincerely, Amir C. PS.
