Cesar has Mindset, Movement and Recovery Dialed In for Every Aspect of Life

September 26, 2017 by Jessica 5 Comments

Cesar kicked off the New Year (2017) by setting his fitness goals here at The Fitness Playground. Cesar was searching for a strength program to incorporate into his fitness routine, but he never imagined the bonus impact the IR3 (Mindset, Movement and Recovery) Progressions would have on his quality of life!

Hear it from Cesar…

How did you hear about Innovative Results?
I heard about Innovative Results through Yelp.

What about Innovative Results interested you in coming in?
Their approach to fitness. At the time, I had recently recovered from a car accident… the last thing I wanted was to get re-injured hence my attention to finding a gym that is well staffed with knowledgeable trainers to guide me through my fitness journey.

Why did you decide to step into the gym?
I was looking to incorporate some sort of strength training into my exercise routine.

What was your first reaction once you entered the gym?
I walked in the middle of a workout and I was impressed and intrigued by the type of exercises they were doing.

What was one thing you like about Innovative Results that kept you coming back for more?
I can truly say that every session is not only an excellent workout but an opportunity to explore my physical boundaries and learn to care for myself.

How has your vision of movement changed since you’ve started working out at Innovative Results?
My vision of movement and what is possible has expanded drastically! I’m constantly noticing my body respond positively to training which gives me the confidence to enjoy new activities and hobbies.

How has Innovative Results helped your mindset in daily living? at home, school, work, or in the community?
The skills learned at the gym apply to everything else in life… hard work, discipline, patience, self care, etc.

What was the biggest obstacle (mental/structural/physical) you’ve crossed since starting at Innovative Results?
Regaining trust to move freely was the very first obstacle. Now that I’ve been a member for almost a year, its very rewarding to achieve milestones and set new ones.

How were you able to surpass your obstacle?
Showing up is half the battle. I try to be in the moment, pay attention to the trainers and push myself safely to the best of my abilities. I appreciate the guidance and care of the IR staff.

Are you ready to take the next steps to an improved quality of life?!

4 Workouts That Will Keep You Going All Year

February 13, 2017 by Jessica 2 Comments

Article By: Paige Johnson, Learnfit.org

In exercise, a lot of people tend to develop the habit of sticking to what works for them. However as with anything, all things change —including your body and what it needs to thrive. If you allow your muscles to become accustomed to your workout routine with little to no variety, you will begin to see little to no results. Little to no results will in turn lead to frustration and inactivity, which is never the goal! This year take the time to add variety to your existing fitness regimen and watch as your body changes along with you!

Join a jogging clubincrease focus, increase speed, eliminate meds, lose weight, gain muscle, get fast, Innovative Results, training

The benefits of jogging are tremendous and one of the best ways to yield results in your overall health and wellbeing. Jogging improves your cardiovascular fitness, strengthens your bones and it aids in maintaining a healthy weight. If you are new to jogging or just trying to find ways to spruce up your routine, joining a joggers group may be just the right step for you! You may find a runners club sponsored by your local sports store or you can form one in your own neighborhood! The primary foundation of a running group is to meet one or two times a week and run a select distance as a group. The encouragement and team response you will receive from participating in such a group will prove to be beneficial to your general mood as well as your health. The accountability that comes with running in a group also will assist you in maximizing your fitness efforts to attain better results!

Try a spin class

Spinning, a specific format of indoor cycling, is a exercise routine that has quickly made its way around the world. As you ride on a stationary cycling bike under the supervision of a certified spinning instructor, your heart rate will shoot up which in return allows you to sweat, burn a sustainable amount of calories and improve your lower body strength. Most spin classes typically last an hour or less and can be taken at your local gym or fitness facility. Classes are uptempo and accompanied with loud, adrenaline pumping music. Be sure to bring a towel for sweat and plenty of water! Consider bringing a friend to enjoy the new experience with you!

Practice yoga

Yoga is not your typical heart racing type of exercise, however if done properly the benefits practicing are amazing. The practice of yoga originated in India and has widespread across the globe as a phenomenal way to improve your mental and physical health and wellness. Physical benefits of yoga include increased core strength, increased flexibility and weight reduction. The mental benefits of yoga sharpens your concentration, helps you de-stress and also increases body awareness.

Start using weights

The use of weights, also known as strength training is a wildly successful way to add more value to your fitness efforts. The use of weights create a compound called resistance, which can be explained as using your muscles to work against the extra pounds. Weight training helps you burn calories more efficiently than traditional exercise and it also reduces body fat. The best way to become introduced to strength training is by acquiring a personal trainer to allow yourself to see maximum results and avoid potential injuries. It doesn’t hurt to get some equipment for your home either.

Incorporating one or more of these exercises into your routine will be more than enough to keep your fitness goals on track throughout the year. Adding variety is the best way to ensure that you are getting the most out of your efforts, and it will keep you from inactivity due to boredom. Keep your routine fun and fresh by stepping outside of your workout habits and begin to enjoy the fittest, healthiest version of yourself!

19 Ways to Get Motivated to Exercise

April 6, 2016 by ptpt Leave a Comment

AlexCMaintaining a regular exercise routine can be challenging, even though we KNOW fitness and exercise is great for us!

So how can YOU stay motivated to keep up with your fitness training, or even get started with a new fitness training program when you just ‘don’t feel like it’?

Dumb Little Man’s Claire Jones has 19 Ways to Get Motivated to Exercise just for you!

1. Tell a Friend when you plan to work out and what activity you’ll be doing – an accountability partner is a great asset!
2. Create a Playlist that lifts your mood and gets you moving
3. Put on your sports gear and head out the door immediately
4. Arrange a workout with a friend – again accountability will be a huge asset for your success!
5. Make it FUN – do what you enjoy.
6. Incorporate little bursts of activity into your day – You don’t have to be at the gym for it to count as exercise!
7. Plan how far you want to run, swim or walk, and then halve it.
8. Buy gear that makes you look and feel good.
9. Work out in the morning, whenever you can.
10. Join a Sports Group – meet new people that enjoy the same activities as you!
11. Find an activity that’s on your way home from work.
12. Keep picturing the most sporty version of you.
13. Go for ten minutes only – once you get going, odds are you will continue beyond your 10 minutes!
14. Go to the gym when your favorite TV show is on – now you have no excuse. 🙂
15. Give yourself a reward after you’ve worked out.
16. Remember that action creates motivation.
17. Set up a 30-day Challenge.
18. Don’t focus on the whole workout.
19. Write down the excuses you have for not working out.

For a breakdown of each motivation tip you can read the Full Article on Dumb Little Man HERE

As I sit here typing this, I have a date with a trail that I am supposed to be running.

So remembering that action creates motivation, I will finalize this article, and run on the trail for ten minutes only…which I am sure will turn into more, but right now I am thinking of all the things I need to do today.

My reward will be that satisfying feeling you have when you have accomplished something awesome!

Which is how I feel after every fitness training session at Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground, so I am sure that this will be no different.

Not focusing on the full workout, just doing ten minutes, using action to create motivation, and feeling that huge sense of achievement when I am done is what will get me motivated to exercise for this particular exercise in my fitness training program.

Make Your Next One, Your Best One!

Need More Ab Exercises? These 3 Articles Will Shred Your 6-pack

February 24, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

Aaron six pack proof1
Proof Example #1 – 6-pack Abs

I have been studying psychology and physiology since I was 16 (seems like forever ago…I am 34 now), because I wanted a “hot” body (six pack with ripped back, chest, arm, and leg muscles), that also performs at peak levels.

Fortune favors the bold, so after staying consistent with exercise, hydration, nutrition, and sleep I have managed to keep the six pack I created so many years ago in my high school fitness gym.

I used to walk around with my shirt off all of the time to show this off, and then I realized I was just feeding ego, not helping others realize their own improvements…now I rarely am seen without a shirt.

I don’t keep my shirt on because I lost my six pack (they are still strong and present, just a little more hairy).

It is mainly because grew up a little and chose a more modest, humble approach to help others reach their fitness goals.

I realized I don’t have to constantly show off my abs, strength, power, and muscles at Innovative Results fitness gym, to help other people improve their quality of life…it is more about connecting and having fun at The Orange County Fitness Playground, while building good habits with solid fitness training programs.

Proof Example #2 – six pack abs

When it comes to overall fitness, especially ab and core strength, I wouldn’t coach clients, teach trainers, facilitate followers, or build progressions that didn’t work.

However, sometimes we forget that six pack abs and abdominal strength has less to do with ab-centric exercise (like crunches and sit-ups) and more to do with properly engaging them throughout our daily activities and exercise routines.

If we fail to engage our inner and outer abdominal muscles at the trunk of our torso, except for when we do “ab” exercises, we will fail to feel the abdominal muscles work properly in all positions.

Sounds to easy, but I encourage you to test this right now.

Are your “abs” “on”?

Most likely, they are not.

You are in some sort of forward slouch, slump, or fold, that has turned your abs into mush.

Once you straighten up your position in your seat or as you stand, your ab muscles and core need to share the load placed on your spine from gravity.

This load is increased as we perform daily tasks and exercises.

When we rotate, lift heavy, exert maximal force in push, pull, rotation, squating, hip hinging, and rotating, our abs must contract.

This is telling your ab muscles to adapt by getting stronger and more dense, so we can perform the exercises better next time.

Which invests into the future look and feel of our abs.

If we are regularly pursuing abdominal engagement through regular exercises, as mentioned above, and we consciously engage our abs as we sit, stand, walk, run, reach, lift, and hold stuff throughout the day…we will be amazed by our “core” or “ab” strength.

All of these movements ARE ab exercises, as long as we are actively engaging with our abdominal muscles during these movements.

As we start to engage our abdominal muscles more and more, we will have muscles to show off, especially when we pursue good nutrition, hydration, and sleep to help us remove the unnecessary body fat from our belly.
