Strength Over Stress: Do More than You’ve Ever Done Before

November 15, 2016 by Jessica 5 Comments

Article Written By: Margaret Fajardo

mission viejo personal trainer

She had already competed in an earlier event. For the entire ten minutes, first-time Kettlebell Sport lifter Kelly Boaitey finished with 159 repetitions in lifting Jerk, not once setting down the 8 kg kettlebell. But this was just the first lift out of two. When she was going up to the platform for Long Cycle, Boaitey kept telling her teammates that she was already tired and wasn’t sure how she could go on. As the announcer counted down the seconds to begin, she couldn’t complain anymore (or maybe she did a little). At the end of another ten minutes, not once did Boaitey set down her kettlebell. And like the first lift, she had reps in the three-digits, achieving a personal goal of 101.

As a self-employed, single mom of three, fifty-year-old Boaitey is no stranger to stress. Her occupation involves miles and miles of being on the road. Despite needing to be at a different place at different times during the week, Boaitey makes time to go to Innovative Results, Orange County’s Fitness Playground. She said, “I find ways to get there, 3 days a week, at 5 a.m.” For Boaitey, there are definite results each time she shows up to a training session. As Boaitey said, “I can go there feeling absolute crap, overwhelmed, it’s the last thing I wanna do, and I come out feeling like a completely different person in an hour.” And with every hour that Boaitey has put in at Innovative Results, she rarely ever says “I can’t.” Her recent success as a novice Kettlebell Sport Lifter is the next level in her health and fitness journey. She admits to surprising herself: “I never imagined to be where I am only because I never tried to go there. I used to say I can’t a lot..but I’ve done things that I’ve far surpassed I could ever do.”

Beat Stress: An Even More Important Reason to Stay Active

Kelly KB

Many health and fitness experts have highlighted how stress impacts us all, regardless of whether or not we are at our ideal weight or need to lose a few pounds. In fact, everyday stress can exacerbate health challenges we already struggle with. According to Aaron Guyett, Innovative Results Owner and Head Coach:

“Stress is a part of our life. Either we feel stressed or we feel lazy. Yet we can mitigate the tension of stress by preparing our bodies and minds with the daily routine of exercise. The victory and mindset-improving exercise designed into each Innovative Results workout, prepares our clients to realize their best, and deliver that ‘best’ in every area of their life outside of the gym.”

Boaitey has said that she’s “stayed with Innovative Results for my mental well-being.” In addition, she goes because “as I get older, wanting the core strength to prevent the things that happen to older people. I’m only 50 so better start now.”

Strong Never Gets Old: Uplift Yourself By Lifting Kettlebells

Innovative Results has hosted a few Kettlebell Sport competitions. Innovative Results even has a Kettlebell Sport Team. Earlier this year, Boaitey was a spectator at the Cali Open and cheered on fellow Innovative Results members. Boaitey has said of the experience: “There’s such a diverse group of people that do it – thin, heavy, muscular, not-so-muscular, old, young, really young – there’s something in it for everyone. If you wanted to do it, you could do it….After going to the competition, I’ve not only said to myself I could do this, but I said to myself, I think this would be fun. And it is!”

Besides attending Innovative Results signature hour-long training sessions, Boaitey has added kettlebell lifting progressions to her regimen. She now can perform all the technical lifts in Kettlebell Sport: Jerk, Snatch, and Long Cycle. She has been happy to share her athletic journey. She said, “The world kind of tells you that you’re old for certain things and your body tells you too… but in terms of peers outside of Innovative Results, they ask me ‘So what do you do?’ In the past, I would’ve just said, I go to the gym. But now I say, ‘I do Kettlebell Sport!’”

Stress Loses When You Go Social

There is no room for feeling stress when the social atmospheres of both the hour-long training sessions and the Kettlebell sport competitions are friendly, encouraging, and fun. It’s no wonder that Boaitey commits to improving her quality of life. As she said, “There’s always someone at Innovative Results to encourage you. It’s not just the trainers.” There may be physical challenges. There may be struggle. But everyone overcomes all, together.

The team environment at Innovative Results is a health benefit with immediate results. Not only do workouts engage body and brain, but working out as a team creates connections that are as important to health as strong muscles. People smile. People give high-fives and pats on the back. No one is ever alone in going through something difficult. Getting fit while getting social can only feel good. Feeling fit and healthy isn’t just about physical well-being. It’s also about emotional health. When your body feels good from the outside-in and the inside-out, stress doesn’t stand a chance.

The IR Kettlebell Team Gives Their All on the Platform

Torn hands, countless drops of sweat, 1000’s of swings, 1000s of cleans, fixation training, and quality time with the Versaclimber all working together to boost the performance of a team committed to Kettlebell Sport.

And as the chalk dust settles, the Innovative Results Kettlebell Team walks away with their heads held high, each bearing a brand new piece of hardware hanging from their neck.

From first timers, to multi-comp veterans the IR  Team brought the fever to the 2016 California Open Kettlebell Sport Lifting Competition hosted at Innovative Results on February 27th & 28th.

Nine representatives in one of the largest kettlebell competitions in the nation!

It was all guts and glory for these nine competitors as they set personal records, earned kettlebell sport rankings, and enjoyed the celebration of their coach and fellow competitor setting a new American Record.

When Your Plan Fails, Will Your Mindset Be Strong Enough Carry You to Victory?

August 21, 2013 by ptpt 6 Comments

Have you ever run a race?race picture

What would you do if your music shut off 6 miles into your half marathon and you’d always been dependent on your music to keep you going?

Would you just give up?

Or would you have the mental toughness to not give up?

Unforeseen circumstances can arise during competition. Circumstances that you can’t directly prepare for but circumstances that can hinder your success no matter how physically prepared you are.

It all boils down to mindset.

How strong is your determination to succeed even when things start to go wrong?

And sometimes you don’t know just how strong you are until you are tested.

This past weekend my client, Jodie, and I ran a half marathon. It was Jodie’s first and she’d been training hard for months.

She’d logged the miles and lifted weights to get stronger. Her body could handle the 13.1 miles.

We started out at a great pace. She was looking good and relaxed. We were even having some fun poking each other and pointing out all the people running in costumes that we passed.

Her running looked so smooth as the miles went by that I was almost sure we were going to finish earlier than we’d told her husband and daughter to get there.

And then around mile 6, Jodie’s fully charged, brand new iphone, shut off.

Just like that, her music was gone. The motivation she’d used to log in mile after mile for the past few months was gone.

I could see the devastation wash over her.

But she kept going. Mile 7….Mile 8….Passed. And she just kept going.

Her body began to hurt and with no music to distract her, she became focused on the pain.

She told me, “Something’s not right.”

But she kept going.

And then we hit a hill…We hit a hill a mile longer than planned for.

A hill a mile longer than planned for, a body in pain and absolutely no music to distract her.

Could you mentally charge up that hill? Or would just be done?

Jodie took on the mammoth of a hill and while we didn’t end up finishing before her husband and daughter got there, she finished strong.

Jodie made it through because of her MINDSET.

The question is “Would you?”

Innovative Results is committed to improving the quality of life for people in Costa Mesa and the surrounding communities.  Our fitness training programs have helped thousands of people lead healthier, more active lifestyles.

What can we do to help you this year?
