At 65, Ken is a ‘Poster Child’ for Living an Active Lifestyle

September 13, 2017 by Jessica 2 Comments

Haaave yea met Ken?!

Folks if you have not heard of Ken St Cyr, fire up your Google Search!

At 65 years young, Ken is a champion pole vaulter, surf enthusiast, and a “poster-child” of how an active lifestyle improves the quality of one’s life.

Check out Ken at San Onofre State Beach!

But don’t just listen to us gush over Ken! Continue reading below to hear about the positive effects of his Innovative Results Training Program.

How did you hear about Innovative Results?
I was referred to Innovative Results by my Sports Med doctor who told me he had heard very good things about the work being done there. I needed a workout regime that supported my pole vault agility and strength development and he thought you guys could do that.

What about Innovative Results interested you in coming in?  

KenStCyr_vaultWhen I first visited and talked with the staff I was impressed with the knowledge and understanding of my needs.

Why did you decide to step into the gym?
Same as the above comment.

What was your first reaction once you entered the gym?
The workouts with Dane were dynamic and not simply machine strength training. I was moving and exercising muscles that clearly supported my desire to improve my pole vaulting strength and mobility. It was clear the staff, Dane specifically, had done their research on pole vaulting and knew how to get the best out of me.

What was one thing you like about Innovative Results that kept you coming back for more?
The complete focus on me and my needs. Dane spends every second watching, coaching, correcting and encouraging. Together we put together a long term game plan designed to peak at just the right time.

How has your vision of movement changed since you’ve started working out at Innovative Results?
Absolutely. I am more flexible, more toned and more competent as a 65 year old pole vaulter. That would not be possible without the effort put forth by Innovative Results and Dane.

How has Innovative Results helped your mindset in daily living? (at home, school, work, or in the community)
I generally feel in great shape, healthy and positive in my outlook. I attribute much of that to the results being achieved at IR.

What was the biggest obstacle (mental/structural/physical) you’ve crossed since starting at Innovative Results? 

KenStCyrI suffered a ruptured appendix soon after joining IR. Three months later, after surgery and full recovery when I was able to begin working out again I was on a tight timeline to get prepared for several major competitions. Dane and IR were able to get me back in shape quickly by constantly working me as hard as possible without crossing the boundary to be injury prone.

How were you able to surpass your obstacle?
Due to the commitment of Dane and IR we had a training program that maximized my ability to regain strength and flexibility. I was fortune enough to win a Bronze Medal at the US National Senior Games in June and then subsequently win the USA Masters Games.. I also won a Silver Medal at the North and Central America Masters Championships in Toronto in August 2017. It was a team effort with IR all the way!

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

August 29, 2017 by Jessica 3 Comments

By: Coach Dane Fernandez Dane Fernandez at Innovative Results

WHAT IS MOVEMENT

We have been living in a civilized society for thousands of years, and only up until recently have we seen a decline in of our populations physical abilities. There are few who have excelled at getting their body to its maximum ability and potential, but for the vast majority of the civilized world we have let our immediate environment take over causing physical evolutionary change.

It’s funny to think we live in a society that needs to count their steps in order to meet the suggested physical recommendations for daily exercise. Surrounding environments play a big factor in dictating a routine or habit. When living in a modern environment we feel the need to create things like the “10,000 step a day rule”. We also create modified movement facilities like weight gyms.

Jennifer Lifting with Kettlebell

As a culture we have learned that in order for us to live in the modern world we need to take part in physical activity to up keep one’s health. Gyms and sports are a means to fun physical activity in hopes of improving oneself in dimensions of speed, agility, quickness, power, and strength.

GOOD MOVEMENT vs. BAD MOVEMENT
Are we creating healthy individuals or are we taking people farther from true healthy movement? With generalized and sport specific training we are developing the bodies abilities, but are we doing it correctly and safely? Doing a gym workout is believed to replace the physical activity that we’d normally take part in if we were still living in pre-modern times. Being in a gym setting is probably not the most ideal way to express excess energy but it works with our modern society and culture.

Sport specific and generalized training are great for personal development, they provide essential skills for mind and body awareness. It takes phenomenal strength and control to perform these types of activities. We can all agree that any type of body training is going to be beneficial compared to remaining stagnant. Education, discipline, and time are a few factors when looking at developing a healthy human body.

HEALTHY MOVEMENT vs. UNHEALTHY MOVEMENT Master Coach Aaron with his daughter Hannah
When training is done correctly it can be extremely beneficial as one takes part in their daily lifestyle. The more your mind and body are trained the better they will respond when called upon. It is important to train ‘’the right way” on a daily basis.
Movement in our daily life comprises of multiple movement patterns. When we get stuck in a repetitive day-to-day routine it’s hard for most of us to practice healthy movements. Our movements become repetitive and unhealthy becoming harmful to one’s health.

Healthy movements can be tough to identify with all the misconceptions out in today’s health industry. Stick to the basics and master them, this is key. Once you’ve owned the basics only then can you start doing all the fun and cool movements and workouts.

Healthy movement starts with where the movement takes place. Moving in all three planes of motion will allow your body to be optimally trained. Movement in the Sagittal (Forward-Back/Up-Down), Frontal (Left-Right), and Transverse (Rotation)planes of motion will put a halt to the day to day routine.
Moving correctly takes time and dedication to the basics. Learning to control you body through it’s proper movement patterns becomes essential for optimal human health.

Control has to be one of the most underlooked components to a healthy body. Proper stabilization and mobilization of your body needs to be addressed before performing SAQ, Power, Strength, and Endurance activities or workouts. Capabilities and abilities improve when mobilization and stabilization are performed on a daily basis.

With mobility and stability improving you will be setting yourself up for successful training protocol and workouts. Addressing strength, power, speed, agility, quickness, endurance, and aerobic capacity will be much easier. Focusing on how to train the correct energy pathway for the given workout will be the main concern instead of correcting bad form and posture.

SMART ACTIVE RECOVERY active stretching
Performing movements and workouts will place stresses on your body’s bones, joints, and soft tissues. We’d all like to go day-to-day without any aches and pains and by starting a recovery protocol you will help ensure a healthy body. Succeeding in your workouts are very important for one’s health, but paying attention to how you treat your body after a workout has huge implementations as will.

By doing multiple active recovery techniques your body will start to notice faster adaptations to the stresses placed on it. Placing an emphasis on how your body heals and regenerates itself post exercise is an important part of a great training protocol. Emphasis can be placed on two types of recovery; active and passive recovery.

Usually many different theories arise as to how to do recovery and what methods to use. When dealing with post exercise protocol, one of the first things that should be implemented is an active decompression. This can be considered to be a short jog or locomotion technique to help circulate blood flow in the body, thus improving overall recovery. Other types of active recovery are self myofascial releases along with tissue and joint decompression stretches.

Passive recovery is something that you do without exerting any effort like a hot/cold contrast bath, epsom salt bath, and massage or physical palpation. Passive recovery is commonly mistaken as “my recovery day” which consist of lying on the couch all day doing nothing at all (this is not what we want to do). Using proper passive recovery techniques can provide insights to body awareness and healing. By adding multiple recovery disciplines into your daily workout progression you are supercharging your bodies recovery cycle thus making you a healthier individual.

Add up all the smart movement strategies and start to implement them into your daily regime. If you are still unsure about how to apply there techniques into a fitness program please don’t hesitate to visit a local “smart gym”. Make sure that they go through proper programming and recovery in their day to day progressions.

It’s time to get out there and make your own medicine out of movement.

Dane’s Story of Transformation with Innovative Results – The Fitness Playground

April 24, 2017 by Dane 6 Comments

Dane Fernandez at Innovative ResultsCoach Dane’s Story of Transformation  

by: Coach Dane Fernandez

Innovative results has been awesome since the moment I stepped through the doors. A fresh burst of positive energy by the staff and clients made me feel welcomed. Even though it was a unfamiliar environment I felt at home.

Orange County personal trainers at Innovative Results, The Orange County Fitness PlaygroundInnovative Results interested me mainly because I’ve been looking for an open floor style gym for years. After doing research for gyms in the Orange County area, Innovative Results kept coming up on my internet searches time and time again. As soon as I heard about Innovative Results I was compelled to dig deeper to find out as much information as possible. One thing that stood out to me through the website was the structure of the gym/playground. After looking through all the photos and videos I spent time reading the coaches bio’s as well as reading numerous transformation stories from their massive data base.

Dane Fernandez Its Pags MediaHaving pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and being an ex-athlete, it was important for me to find a gym that I wanted to work at as well as workout in. After all the research I did, Innovative Results appealed to me and I applied for a position within the company.

Fast forward to my first encounter with the coaches and staff of Innovative Results. I was quickly impressed with what they represented as a business as well as how they expressed their individual mindsets. The ideas and philosophies these coaches were talking about facilitated my curiosity in the program. Longing to be exposed to a program whose main goal is to improve people’s quality of life, I was drawn in from the get go. During the interview and hiring process I was exposed to the operations in detail, seeing first hand hard-work and diligent focus went into making this company/ gym great. Through this process I got introduced to the IR3 Mindset, Movement, and Recovery System. Knowing that this system had tremendous benefits for my professional and personal career I stepped forward to walk out the progression.

innovative results 3 (mindset movement recovery) ebookThrough my time with Innovative Results I have been able to improve as an athlete and as a coach. Utilizing the IR3 progression my mindset has been reconditioned with positive thoughts, positive words, and positive actions. With a quick change in mindset I was able to improve in multiple disciplines in my personal and professional career.

It is through Innovative Results Movement concept that I am finding the most benefit in my life. Being an ex-athlete I have been through many injuries and have created very poor habits as a result of improper rehab and training protocols. Innovative Results addresses proper training mechanics when conducting physical movement whether it be working out at the gym or daily life tasks. I am excited to say I am reaping the physical benefits this program offers in strength, power, and aerobic capacity.

orange county personal training, ankorr, crawling, harness, gym, fitness gym, orange county fitness gym, orange county fitness playgroundEven though Innovative Results training sessions can be tough, the program offers and pays special attention to multiple corrective mobility and recovery techniques. Again, another transformation piece redefined for me through learning the IR3 system. Previously for me, recovery used to mean icing old injuries and elevating legs after a hard of training. This is all great to do and it’s encouraged, but recovery goes way deeper. By applying active stretching with joint and tissue decompression post training sessions, Innovative Results recovery protocol has taught me to practice and train body durability and resilience. This technique has proven to be a huge reason for my continued success in and out of the gym.

Innovative Results has provided me with a more complete framework for transformation. With a solid foundation to practice and teach movement effectively, I feel I am able to transform my life to the next level. Thank you Innovative Results.

7 Tips To Keep Holiday Weight Off This Year From Innovative Results

November 13, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

Most people will gain 5-10 lbs between the beginning of November and the New Year!

*image curtousy of EatingWell.com

Are Holidays Making You Fat?

Most people will allow parties, dinners, shopping and other distractions ‘sideline’ them for 2 months…

Start today and make a decision to stay on track with your fitness goals.

Remember why you started making these changes: improve quality of life, live for your kids, enjoy activities, breath easier, or look better for your significant other.

What still needs to change?

Picture it, write it down and make it a priority.

Dana Point personal trainersWhat can you do to stay on track?

Here are 7 Tips to Keep Holiday Weight Off  This Year- Adopt three or so of the following strategies:

  1. Use the appetizer plate for dinner.  (smaller plate)
  2. Put only two items on your plate during any given trip to the table. Return as many times as you like, but only take two items each time.
  3. Use the volume approach to make yourself feel full.  Chow down on the big healthy stuff (broccoli and carrots) and then see if you have room for the rest.
  4. When you think you will be distracted by an important (or fun) conversation, set the food down and give it your full attention.  Remember, the more you’re distracted by people or events–the Superbowl—perhaps– the more you will tend to eat unknowingly.
  5. If you are really worried about overeating at a cocktail party or buffet-style meal, arrive late or leave early.  If you show up late, most of the good stuff will be gone.  Leave early and you will make it easier to avoid a second (or third) helping of dessert.
  6. Don’t wear comfortable clothing to a party! Wear your tightest dress or pants and then put a belt on top. You’ll not only look hot, you’ll know exactly when you’ve eaten too much.
  7. Stick to your healthy eating habits 80-90% of the time, then plan cheat meals (parties).

A healthy body comes from healthy eating.

Gym in Costa Mesa, CAStay Active!

Stick to your workout plan during the holidays.

Most people let shopping, parties and everything else throw them into a tail spin.

Plan your workouts into your day and make them a priority.

Location or lack of a gym is NOT an excuse.

If you’ll take this info and apply it, you will avoid gaining weight this holiday season.

If you have specific questions or concerns, talk to your coach.

6 Ways We Improve Your Mental Toughness During Innovative Results Active Performance Training

May 31, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

Check out the video below to see a small snippet of Innovative Results Active Performance Training.

Every person that trains with the Active Performance fitness training class, must try-out, which ensures each individual has less risk and higher reward.

6 Ways We Improve Your Mental Toughness During Innovative Results Active Performance Training
Tryouts are the first Tuesday of each month at 6am & 6pm

Once they pass the rigors of try-outs, which includes pull-ups, push-ups, deadlifts, front squats, VersaClimber, and jump rope, they begin the process of increasing their performance and capacity.

This is a very physical process, which is programmed and coached by the best fitness coaches in Orange County.

But believe it or not, it is far more mental than physical.

Here are the 6 Ways We Improve Your Mental Toughness During Innovative Results Active Performance Training:

  1. Progressive Training Programs
  2. Giving Your Best, Even On Your Off Days
  3. Positive and Intentional Coaching
  4. Positive Support and Friendships
  5. Safely Pushing Beyond Physical Limits
  6. Staying Committed and Consistent for the Long Haul

The amount of mental toughness that is needed to overcome the obstacles, excuses, and physical demands of the training cycles is far greater than the training sessions themselves.

We all experience doubt, fatigue, laziness, confusion, lack of focus, anxiety, and even depression when we move toward our improved quality of life.

Let’s break down the ways that mental toughness is trained with a little bit more detail.

Progressive Training Programs

6 Ways We Improve Your Mental Toughness During Innovative Results Active Performance Training
Crawl Before You Walk, Walk Before Your Run

By utilizing progressive training programs, you can build a strong mental toughness without being demoralized by an overwhelming program or training cycle. Training cycles should build upon themselves, not be so difficult that you can never complete them. This type of intelligent and progressive training programming is not found in most gyms and training systems these days. It is okay to be humbled from time to time, but if every workout or training cycle is so hard that you cannot complete it, the person will end up quitting not overcome mentally.

Giving Your Best, Even On Your Off Days

victoria anthony collage, mental toughness, strong, active performanceWe all have off days, and those are the hardest days to commit, come train anyway, and overcome mentally and physically. That is why it is so important to make the commitment and do the work. When we let off days stop us in our tracks, it can be a slipper slope. I am not saying overtrain, or train when you are injured…be smart, and give the best that you have for that day, which might mean dynamic stretching, mobility, and light aerobic work. It may also mean, digging deep and doing the hard work that today demands. Each situation is different, but quitting is never the answer.

Positive and Intentional Coaching

mental toughness, mentally tough, good coaching, Aaron GuyettA positive and intentional coach, knows their clients and students. He or she will make the right adjustments, hold back, stay silent, speak up, demand more, etc. depending on the student and situation. If you are getting increases in your physical and mental strength and endurance, than your coach knows what he or she is doing, if not, it is time to have a conversation with your coach. If after the conversation, the coach doesn’t change and neither do your results…find another coach.

Positive Support and Friendships

Ladera Ranch Personal Trainer, ankorr, zuu, mental toughness, mentally tough, support, strongI have never seen, not heard of a lone wolf make it in the wild, and I have also never seen a lone wolf type person make it in a difficult training cycle. We are social creatures, and we need to be pushed, challenge, encouraged, inspired, motivated, and moved by our support and friendships. Just because Rambo and Chuck Norris are awesome on screen, doesn’t mean it works in real life. This is real life, and we need support and friendships to do incredible things.

Safely Pushing Beyond Physical Limits

Ankorr, zuu, mason, innovative results, mentally tough, mental toughness, strong, crawlAt Innovative Results, we are very picky about how we choose to push people past their perceived physical limitations. We do not choose box jumps or heavy barbell lifts overhead…that is a recipe for disaster. We choose low impact, high results exercises like ZUU, Ankorr, VersaClimber, FRC, sled, prowler, battle ropes, and other body weight movements. This way we can increase force without increasing risk. It is important to take the body to a level that is beyond what the person perceives they can do, and then show them, it was their mind that decided that is where they needed to stop. In doing this, the mind and body is taught a valuable lesson. When the mind quits, the body quits…it is NEVER the other way around.

Staying Committed and Consistent For The Long Haul

Kettlebell Crew, Kettlebell Team, Kettlebell, strong, mental toughness, medals, medalThis is probably the hardest part of building mental strength. Discipline seems to be a bad word these days, but the rewards found after someone stays consistent for 100 training sessions, and ALWAYS INCREDIBLE!! Never once have I heard of someone saying they regretted working out three days per week for the last three years. Never once do I hear Innovative Results long time veterans complain of price and value. They understand the high value they receive, and they would probably pay triple what they pay to receive the training they earn every week.

May your next week be your best week, and may your mental toughness sore after reading these 6 tips.

The Busy Working Mom Workout and How Rebecca Toned Up

May 26, 2016 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

Orange County gym that helps people get results Rebecca had just given birth to her 3rd child and had 48 pounds to lose.

She was working full time, and involved in three community organizations.

Needless to say, she was a busy working mom.

She dropped about 32 pounds by diet adjustments and running alone.

She had done this before just after her first pregnancy – dropping 70 pounds!

But this time, Rebecca was having a hard time dropping the last 13-15 pounds.

She was a little older, and her time was more cramped.

She now was a working mother with one set of 4 year old twins and a newborn baby boy.

She also knew starting a fitness training program was going to take commitment and dedication – and that it wasn’t going to be easy.

To drop the weight and get toned Rebecca knew that a fitness training program would be difficult but worth it.

Check out Innovative Results, Rebecca’s busy working mom workout solution… 

She wasn’t looking for a quick fix – she was looking for a solution to tighten her body and lose the weight.

Rebecca chose Innovative Results as her busy working mom workout, and hasn’t looked back since.

before after collageSince working with Rebecca she has lost 15 pounds, and she fits back into your ‘skinny jeans’.

Rebecca mentioned that she fits into the clothes she wore when she lost the weight of her first pregnancy – but now she weights 4 pounds heavier?!

“It’s not all about the number on the scale…I fit into my jeans that I wore when I weighed 114 – I weight 118 now – but I’m not ‘skinny fat’, I’ve developed tone. People get too freaked out about the scale… it’s all about the measurements,” states Rebecca.

Rebecca, like countless others that have come to Innovative Results, experiences the value of our training program with the way she looks, feels, and performs.

She loves being able to show up to her fitness training program, and have intelligent and caring fitness trainers build a program that delivers results every time.

She hates being in the limelight, and I wish I could show you pictures of her transformation.

However, we respect our client’s wishes at Innovative Results, so we can only tell you about her amazing success with us, showing you pictures of many of our other fitness clients’ before and after transformations.

The VersaClimber is a great tool to use in a plethora of exercise programs, and there are many VersaClimber Benefits.

Most high level athletic training facilities are equipped with them, Innovative Results fitness gym has it for all of their athletes.

All fitness gyms and athlete training facilities should incorporate them in their training programs.

We incorporate it into our training program at Innovative Results fitness gym because it is a safe regression for any hard impact movements, it is an excellent strength building tool, it is an awesome recovery tool, and it can be used to train all three energy systems.

The first of the VersaClimber Benefits and the reason it is an excellent implement to your fitness training program because it is a safe warm up tool that will always be time efficient and effective.

Alli VersaClimberThe basic movement of the Versaclimber is a very natural contra-lateral pattern (an elaborate way of saying the opposing limbs–Right arm with left leg, and left arm with right leg–move together, like when walking, running, or swimming).

It requires a complex pattern of coordinated movements that we all practice as babies by simply crawling.

When you master that at a young age, we are never too old to keep practicing that rudimentary movement.

Moving opposing limbs like that is so beneficial for your nervous system.

This teaches both sides of your brain spatial awareness and basic neuromuscular grooving.

When you move repetitively like this in a low impact environment, quick or slow, you are training your lower body to keep up with your upper body and vice versa.

It becomes a pattern that you subconsciously remember; your “muscle memory” takes over, and is an athletic drill that can benefit every sport and activity.

Training with the Versa Climber has a variety of uses, specifically focusing on any of the three energy systems.

The Versaclimber can hit all three energy systems.versaclimber trip

It can be used in short, explosive bursts to deplete the phosphor-creatine system; which maxes out at about 8-12 seconds depending on the muscle fiber make-up and the level of conditioning of the subject.

The next energy system is the fast glycolysis system, or the lactic threshold.

Versa climber sprints from 15 seconds to up to 1:45 sec or 2 minutes are going to push the lactic capacity of your muscles ability to do work with making lactic acid as a byproduct.

Energy Systems The more you train that energy system the more potential your muscles have to do work without making acid as a byproduct.

You can train your lactic (fast glycolysis) system to be very efficient and keep your muscles working for a good amount of time as well as recharge for more work within a brief recovery period as well.

Last of the energy systems is our oxidative energy system which has an infinite amount of energy because it is the process of our lungs oxygenating our blood.

That process only stops when we stop breathing and our heart stops beating.

However, we can always train this energy system to be more efficient and the versaclimber is an awesome way to do so while cruising at a submaximal heart rate with very low impact force on our joints.

In summary, the Versaclimber is a great way to train both hemispheres of our brain coordinating this simple elementary pattern.

It is also one of the best ways to train our creatine energy system, our lactic energy system, and our oxidative energy system.
