Start Training Consistently at Innovative Results…”It Keeps Me In The Right Mindset” Rhona Shares Her Successes

June 5, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

personal training, motivation, quality of life, improved quality of life, Innovative Results, Orange County Personal TrianersRhona has put in the work training consistently at Innovative Results (The Orange County Fitness Playground), and now she reaps massive rewards in every area of her life.

The coaches love the opportunity to train Rhona, because she works so hard, and is so focused at The Orange County Fitness Playground.

We wanted to know what made her tick, so we asked her a few questions.

Below are those questions, and the answers she gave us:

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

August 2014

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

I Found a Living Social/Groupon deal and I knew it was owned by the Naked Sailor (Aaron Guyett), so I tried it out, and the rest is history.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Strength and overall health.

After a few injuries, torn ACL and a broken wrist, I wasn’t feeling 100%, and now I’m getting closer each and every day.

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

The knowledgeable and encouraging trainers.

Fun workouts.

Being able to see actual progress

The overall feeling I get after leaving the gym.

orange county personal trainer, personal training, fitness gym, fitness training, orange county fitness, costa mesa gymHow has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

It has given me the self confidence to push myself when things get hard or I doubt myself, like when I look at a 400 pound sled and think “there’s no way I’m pushing that thing all the way to the other side of the gym”, and then I end up adding 100 more pounds because 400 was too easy. 🙂

Small victories like that show me that you can pretty much accomplish anything that you put your mind to.

But in the same respect, it has kept me humble.

Just when I think I’m doing an exercise correctly, there is always room for improvement and the coaches won’t hesitate to tell you.

orange county personal trainers, personal training in orange county, personal training in californiaWhat advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

It will be hard in the beginning and your body will hurt in places you didn’t think existed but it will all pay off as long as you stay consistent.

Showing up is half of the battle.

Never compare yourself to the other people in the gym, you are your only competition.

And IR clients are so awesome that they will be giving you high-fives and cheering you on the whole way no matter how weak you feel.

Never be afraid to ask your coach for advice, that’s what they are there for.

Huntington Beach Personal Trainers, innovative results, orange county personal training, fitness training, fitness coach, high fives, fun, functionalHow has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

The positive atmosphere and encouragement from the coaches makes me look forward to working out.

I also find myself helping and encouraging others outside of IR.

Training consistently at Innovative Results keeps me in the right mindset.

It has become a part of my weekly routine.

Who would you want to experience what you get to experience at Innovative Results?

Everyone

Why do you stay committed to your improvement in and out of the gym?

Because life is too short to be unhappy and unhealthy.

I don’t want to start having issues at a certain age just because I haven’t taken care of myself.

Staying in shape allows me to do physical activities such as snowboarding with friends and family or playing basketball with my nieces and nephews without feeling out of breath or discouraged.

I like feeling strong and accomplished each time I finish a work out.

I’m sure there are a million more positive things I could say about my Innovative Results experience but I need to hit the bed so I can be there bright and early tomorrow morning. 🙂

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.

What Separates Those Who Achieve From Those Who Don’t? Another Look At Fitness Training Success.

May 22, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

blog-consequences

Discipline.

Now before you get disgusted, and click away from this article, I am guessing you clicked this article because you want to achieve something, and I am guessing it is something worth this read and worth the discipline that it will take to achieve it.

As I sat in church today, I started thinking about how everyone wants to achieve great things, yet we tend to settle for the cheaper versions of greatness.

For instance,

Instead of training hard to win a race, I will pay over $100 for a one hour race, where I will get a medal and a shirt anyway even if I come in last place (nothing shameful about last place, especially if you have never run a day in your life…you should be proud of finishing)

I hear potential clients tell me all the time how the $147 or more for multiple sessions (9-26 per month) of training at The Orange County Fitness Playground – which is exciting and well-planned, helping every person that attends them see improvements in the way they look, feel, and perform – is too expensive, but the same person won’t blink an eye at spending over $100 for a three hour experience of an obstacle race.

I have nothing against obstacle races or mud runs, and I have ran several of them, but the feeling of finishing one of those races and getting a shirt and a medal, is nothing compared to what you learn and experience after working consistently for over 100 sessions to achieve lasting health, fitness, and improved quality of life.

Eric Olson
E.O. With a Sea Monster

Looking better, feeling better, or performing better takes more than just  $100 and three hours.

Those who achieve have discipline, and those who don’t achieve desire discipline.

Those who don’t achieve live in excuses and immediate gratification.

Those who achieve understand that it is going to take daily habits and daily focus.

For those who achieve…THANK YOU FOR YOUR DISCIPLINE!

You are a great example to us all!

In a culture that upholds results, we often forget that it takes an ongoing process and journey that is fraught with challenge and difficulties, in order to achieve results that are worthwhile.

I wanted to take a moment to shine a light on what it takes to get those results–discipline.

The daily and weekly discipline.

The struggles of building good habits and eradicating bad habits.Discipline SSgt Guyett Aaron Marine Corps

Thank you for all of you who are trying again and again.

You are getting stronger every new attempt and every time you continue your effort in the process of daily discipline.

All of us at Innovative Results – The Orange County Playground – would like to take a moment to thank and celebrate our family members that have made their achievement, success, and improvement possible by being dedicated to the process of making health and fitness a habit.

These clients/family members have attended Innovative Results 100 times or more, and each of them have seen incredible results as a byproduct of their weekly discipline of attending our training program:

You are the example we all would be blessed to uphold!

Many of these clients above will say that they are not done with their health, fitness, success, and improvement, but every one of them will admit that their continued devotion to their weekly fitness training has improved their looks, feelings, and performance in all areas of their life.

Thank you so much for your example to the Innovative Results team, family, and community!

Thank you so much for continuing to pursue excellence, health, fitness, and improvement with discipline.

As I listened to the rest Tim Celek’s sermon on discipline at The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, every bit of it rang true for me and for our team, family, clients, and community at Innovative Results, so I wanted to share his incredible insight beyond the walls of the church and invite you to watch it online here at http://www.thecrossing.com/. Below are my notes from the weekend…

weight loss Orange County, CACharacter is an outward reflection of an inward connection.

Discipline is doing what you ought to do, so you can do what you want to do.

  • Failure begins and ends with excuses.
  • Success begins and ends with discipline.
  • Discipline defined by Tim’s mom and dad, was “delayed gratification”
  • Disciplined people plan in advance.
  • Discipline puts us in a position to be used powerfully as a blessing and/or be blessed.
  • Too many people live by reaction rather than by choice of action.
  • Disciplined people do life around the right kinds of people.
  • Disciplined people live their day and life in bite-sized chunks.

onnitKBThis sermon was motivational, inspirational, and challenging for me.

I have watched discipline pay off with every client that embraces it, and I strongly urge every Innovative Results team member, family member, and community member to embrace discipline.

In embracing discipline, we will watch our relationships, health, finances, security, intelligence, and development steadily grow.

Those who achieve have discipline, and those who don’t achieve desire discipline.

If you have chosen discipline and continue to walk out the daily challenge of delayed gratification for something truly great…THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME EXAMPLE.

The Story of That Last Little Bit of Fat – Losing the Last Ten Pounds

February 23, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

StressAaaarrgh!!

Why can’t the mirror just make it disappear?

And while I am talking about it, my pants would feel better without it, and don’t even get me started on how my shirts and blouses would fit without it.

When I step on the scale, it is still sitting there, reminding me of everything I don’t want to hear, see, or feel…

I have ten pounds of unwanted, undesirable, and un-removable body fat…I feel like I have tried everything, and it is still there, taunting me with its jiggly, bloated, bulging presence.

love handleHow do I lose the last little bit of fat?

This story has been told by all of us, and even though it feels like the last ten is stuck there forever, this does not have to be the story.

First, let me premise this story with the understanding that there is a necessary and healthy need for body fat, and it helps the male and female body look attractive. I am not here to help the person who is looking to starve and over-train every ounce of fat from their body.

I am here to help the person that truly has ten pounds (or more) of unnecessary body fat, which is doing more harm than good.

I am talking about the knee-pain-inducing, high-blood-pressure-raising,  heart-disease-increasing, depression-promoting, back-breaking ten or more pound of body fat.


We all see the shining light at the end of the tunnel. The shining light is where we have lost the ten pound baggage that has been weighing us down for too long, and now we are free to move, feel, and look amazing!

Fitness boot camp helps people get active

We know it is not going to be easy, and yet for some reason we want to hear someone tell us, “all you have to do, is keep doing what you have been doing, and it will gone.” or “Just do this one exercise for five minutes a day, and that little bit of fat will disappear before your eyes.”

Unfortunately, we all know this is not true, because we have been doing the same thing for (insert insanely long period of time here), and nothing has changed.

We also know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, and expecting a different results, yet it is so easy to keep doing our routine. Is that because we are creatures of habit? Yes.

What if we could make a slight change to our habits, and see a HUGE result?

enhanced-buzz-8548-1367336827-9Insert good news emoticon here, because we can!

Time after time at Innovative Results and throughout my time as a fitness trainer and fitness coach, I have seen the longest lasting, biggest transformations–especially with the “last ten pound club”–from those that stay dedicated to making small habit changes for good.

The three simple steps to lose the last ten pounds are record your nutrition intake (to include hydration), twenty minutes of relaxed, focused breathing, and show up consistently to an intelligent fitness training program.

Step 1 – Record Your Nutrition Intake, Which Includes Hydration

ir_3_nutrition_prepThis daily habit change, does not mean you have to go on a crazy diet, or fast with lemon-juice and ginger for forty days, or throw away everything in your kitchen, replacing it with fresh-picked hipster organic farm goodness.

Recording your nutrition is a way for you to teach yourself what you are eating.

Sounds dumb, but it is effective, which also means it is not dumb.

You would be surprised to hear that every single person I have asked to track their nutrition, has told me some rendition of, “Wow! I did not realize this juice had so much sugar in it.” or “Wow! A half a cup of rice seems so small on my plate.”

We live in America where convenience, incredible marketing, and big/more/bigger is the way of life, especially with food.

You can imagine how much help it is to add daily nutrition tracking of your food intake.

This small habit will completely change your life, and it is so easy to implement with smart phones and apps there is no excuse but to implement it today.

We recommend myfitnesspal, because it is simple, easy-to-use, and it is FREE! (we make zero money off of the promotion of this app and website)

Step 2 – Twenty Minutes of Relaxed, Focused Breathing

breathing techniquesThere are too many studies that recount the goodness and improvement that come from focused breathing, daily relaxation, prayer, and meditation, but I want to look at this time from a different perspective.

Think about this time as a reset button.

When your day is starting to choke you out, or last night’s lack of sleep refuses to be conquered by coffee, take twenty minutes to improve your mood, relax, de-stress, unwind, and focus on one thing, your breath, instead of the million things on your list.

If this turns into a twenty minute nap, than we know you probably needed more sleep anyway, which helps our metabolic and hormonal function.

If you keep thinking about all the things you need to do or want to do, bring a pad of paper, write it down and take care of it after your breathing time, and then refocus back on your breath.

This reset is crucial for your mindset during this time of change and renewed habits.

Every time you take twenty minutes to reset yourself mentally, you are also resetting yourself physically. Whatever mistakes you made or problems you had are now gone and in the past.

You are no longer weighed down by shame, guilt, or past habits.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and you have the opportunity to make a new you with a new day.

Step 3 – Show Up Consistently To an Intelligent Fitness Training Program

2016-01-12 10.11.51Showing up is the hardest part, especially if you have a million things on your list, or you don’t feel perfect, or you are feeling the darkness of the tunnel, not the shinyness of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Once you show up, all you have to do is join in the calculated exercise program, and you always feel better.

If the program is a smash-fest or it is variable and inconsistent, you probably won’t feel better, so don’t get sucked into these dark holes.

Seek out good coaching, encouraging environments, and tried and true methods for your exercise program and fitness training.

Whether it is one-on-one, group training, classes, or do-it-yourself exercise programs, make sure it is progressive, enjoyable, and helpful.

Progressive workouts build on themselves, instead of randomly putting together a bunch of exercises, and saying, “do it more and do it harder and do it more harder with intensity”…sounds weird, but because of our culture this is one of the biggest mistakes when trying to lose the last ten, because the stress of these workouts add to the stress of your day, and set your hormones up for fat-retaining failure.

Enjoyable workouts are going to be a personal choice, because where I see sweaty, disheveled mats with twisted figures hiding pain, many of you see a relieving, reviving, toxin-expelling, breath of fresh mobility, called hot-yoga.

Find something you enjoy, and stick to it long enough to build a deeper than paper relationship with the instructors and coaches that can only help you if they see you more than once or twice per month.

If we focus on these three areas as new, small habit adjustments, we will begin to see where our body and mind is most healthy in terms of body fat and lean body mass.

You will see that the ten pounds have melted away, and you have new lines, curves, jeans, shirts, and relationships that you never would have thought possible.

Your relationship with the mirror, scale, closet, pictures, and people have improved, along with your quality of life.

How to Keep Your Resolutions and Fitness Goals – Four Simple Tips To Stay With Your Fitness Training Program

February 10, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

summer-beach-fun-wallpaperI see it happen every year, and so do you.

So many people get fired up and start their goals to conquer the World with their resolutions and fitness goals.

A lot of those fired up people have fallen off, and by the middle of February, every gym is back to normal, until many of those people realize they have to wear a swimsuit on their tropical vacation this summer (and by that time it is usually too late).

Anthony MansfieldIs it that each person that quits doesn’t lose 43 pounds in two weeks, so they decide it isn’t worth the time, money, nutrition tracking and fitness training anymore?

Is it that they started so intensely that they felt like they were wearing a body cast of lactic acid and soreness, and thought, “well that is horrible…this fitness training thing is not for me?”

Maybe it is that they were overwhelmed with their trainer’s broccoli, chicken, and cardio diet, followed by a lemon, ginger, asparagus, honey, and oatmeal enema, and then, here, take these 400 supplements…oh, and we haven’t even got into your power lifting program…

Whatever it is that coerced or is deceiving you or your friends into quitting, there is an easier way to keep your resolutions and fitness goals.

Feeling better, looking better, and moving better doesn’t have to destroy you, nor does it have to be complicated, nor does it have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Here is a simple four item list that you will be able to keep…for the rest of your life:

  1. Less is More
  2. Build Habits
  3. Restarting is Okay
  4. Do something, even if it is little, and do it now!

shutterstock_1341411291 – Less is More

It isn’t sexy, and it seems counter-intuitive, until you have talked to my longest-attending clients with the most significant fitness, body, and mind transformations.

Start with a daily walk for 5 or 10 minutes, and think about how you can fit this small time and effort pleasantry into your life for the next week.

As the weeks progress, so can you.

If you slowly added 30 minutes of daily walking the results for your fitness goals, improved health and improved mental-wellness are tremendous.

The same goes for nutrition.

Imagine replacing one unhealthy food item with an healthy food item, and you knew you could enjoy this change for the rest of your life.

Now, perform that once per month, for the next year, and you have totally changed the way you eat in two years, and the best part, is that you will be able to sustain this for the rest of your life…no more yo-yo dieting.

MLK_Jeff Climb2 – Build Habits

So much of the success that I see, is because the person built the habit of just showing up to Innovative Results fitness gym every day…no matter what.

At first, habit building is slightly challenging, but no where near as challenging as the person trying to lose 43 pounds in two months, while trying to finish a marathon before they turn 40, which is happening in three weeks…

The habit-builder sees tremendous change, not because they have a better fitness goal, or more motivation, or more energy.

It is because they are more consistent.

Habits are how we live our daily lives, whereas goals that are large, are seen as an end to something in our life.

Often goals are not achieved, or if someone achieves the goal, they stop doing the thing they need for their improved health, improved fitness, and improved mental-wellness.

You can tell me what happens next, after they stop…Back to the old way of living, that made them choose the fitness goal in the first place.

Anaheim Personal Trainers3 – Restarting is Okay

If you are feeling rotten about quitting or giving up, you don’t have to…it sounds too simple and too easy, but just start again.

If you exercise and improve your nutrition for a month, and then fall-off, and then start a month later, and then do it again, and again, and again…you have exercised 5 months more per year than the person that quit after the first month, and never started again.

If it sounds too simple and too easy, it is because it IS too simple and too easy.

Start again.

Today is the beginning of the rest of your life, and what happened yesterday does not have to define you today.

SteveStary44 – Do something, even if it is little, and do it now!

Seriously, motion creates emotion, and if you don’t believe me, you haven’t stood up, moved around, smiled, and laughed yet.

Try it with me.

Stand up.

March in place.

Slap your right hand on your left thigh, and your left hand on your right thigh, while you march.

Smile as big as you can, and laugh out loud.

Even if you are interrupting the corporate meeting that you are supposed to be paying attention to right now.

Do it now, and let this tiny bit of effort show you the great rewards that come from a changed life.

Looking to keep your resolution and achieving you fitness goals for Improved Quality of Life, look no further than the four simple and easy to apply action items here:

  1. 2014-11-18 20.06.49Less is More
  2. Build Habits

How To Make Healthy Habits To Achieve Fitness Goals with Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground

December 19, 2015 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

Every year I see the same thing.10151298_10154652677210156_1928303503594648985_n

Every body and their mom joins the local fitness gym, or starts attending fitness training for the first time since last January.

They have the best intentions on their focused faces, ready to tirelessly drive themselves to lose those stubborn pounds, ridding themselves of their “big” clothes for good.

They sweat, groan, push, and work themselves into a fervor, depriving themselves of pleasantries, drinks, and carbs, so they can earn that body that deftly evaded them last year.

In their dreams they can see the toned, sculpted muscles. They can feel the sleek, sexy physique. They can smell the sweetness (or should I say sweatiness) of victory. They pick out the outfits in their minds, and sometimes even online. They’re emotionally high on the visions of goals, girls, guys, greatness, or whatever finish-line dream they have conjured up.Ninja-Shadow-2

And then it happens…like a ninja assassin on a d96207591063063698221625f7e9d61beark night…they disappear.

Gone like snow in summer, and where do they go?

Maybe there is a better question…WHY?

I will tell you, but you probably don’t want to believe me, because believing me, means you may have to do things differently this year (if you have quit your fitness goals and aspirations in the past).

Being in the fitness industry for over 15 years, and helping thousands of people last longer in their fitness goals and health improvements than the January fitness gym crowd, I have come to believe it takes more than a fitness goal or physical and mental
aspiration to make those sleek, sexy, sculpted body’s come to life and stay alive.

There are three layers to your healthy habit change, whether in fitness training or any other area of your life: personal, social, and environmental.

If you don’t have all of these set-up for your transformation, the probability of you leaving your local fitness gym or fitness training after a few weeks, goes up dramatically.

If you are joining Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground, we will help you systematically improve every layer of your fitness goals, mental attitude, and whole body-mind-soul transformation.

To understand how to make healthy habits, we will look at these three interconnected areas of your life: personally, socially, and environmentally.

Personally

  • We will help you set up habits in fitness training, nutrition tracking, and circadian cycles (sleep, wake, and daily energy cycles. Once you have built these healthy habits, you will find doing your fitness, physical, and mental success happens easily.
  • We will have periodic measurements to help you see that your habits are helping you improvements in your looks, strength, power, endurance, and attitude.

After Learning These 9 Running Technique Drills – Steve Makes a Mental Gain

December 12, 2014 by ptpt 2 Comments

This video has all 9 Running Technique Drills that helped Steve, Anshika, and countless other Innovative Results fitness clients get faster, more efficient, and more effective running. Keep reading to hear Steve’s awesome story of fitness training at Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground.

Every time an Innovative Results client and family member share their story and do a review, they are helping us help more people improve their quality of life.

Read about Steve’s running and quality of life improvement here:

I wanted to thank you and share a story about running that I think you’ll enjoy.

As you know, I have been doing triathlons for the last few years and I’m always looking for ways to improve my performance.

Coming to Innovative Results after taking a 12 month break due to injury has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I’ve been able safely gain my strength back in order to keep myself injury free going forward.

The fun and self confidence I gain are just extras!

SteveStary3

Last week at our regular Innovative Results workout you had us do some running but it seemed odd to me at the time because we only have 20 meters to work with.

I wondered how we were going to run indoors?

With skill and clarity you (Coach Aaron) explained the processes of running as controlled falling.

My favorite part was the demonstration of what a baby looks like when they learn to walk – you’re really good at it with your daughter’s example fresh in your mind!

The visuals and the exercises combined to make for what ended up being a decent workout (as usual).

SteveStary4What I wanted to share was my recent experience on a run.

I never said I was a FAST triathlete and my running pace has been plateaued at a pace averaging between 9:30 and 10:00 per mile.

As I began my run I said to myself, “Fall forward” and tried to apply the techniques we just learned at the IR session.

I was very comfortable while running, more comfortable than usual.

Then I realized I was enjoying running at a pace that was in the 8:30 per mile range!

At various points on the run I was even able to get into the high 7’s pace.

I have not been running much so I know that much change in performance was not due to pounding out miles, rather it was MENTAL.

I couldn’t tell if my actual technique was really different, but my mental state was.

Instead of trying push my body forward stride after stride I leaned forward and consciously tried to use gravity to my advantage.

IT WORKS!

SteveStary1

I have a lot more training to do before I’m back in racing form, but I expect some nice gains next year.

In the meantime, I have some other physical endurance goals to accomplish this Spring and with the support I get from Innovative Result and you (Aaron, Aubrie, Mark, Madison, and Mason) as my coach I have every confidence that I’ll achieve those goals and beyond.

Thanks for your passion!
Steve Stary
