” Losing 60 pounds and finishing my first half marathon well is enough for me to have confidence in my coaches and my fitness playground – Innovative Results.”

August 6, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

When I first met, Anshika, she came off as smart, focused, and didn’t want to waste her time and money on a fitness trainer and fitness training program that didn’t work.

She has since proven how effective a solid fitness trainer, nutrition coach, and fitness training program can be with a smart and focused client.

Check out Anshika Rakesh’s story below:

When did you start training at Innovative Results?

I joined Innovative results around 2006 or 2007.

It’s so long that I don’t even remember…ha ha ha!

Irvine fitness training, Irvine Personal Training, Irvine Gym, Innovative Results, Orange County Fitness PlaygroundWhy did you start training with Innovative Results?

I had my first baby in 2005.

I had gained 70 pounds.

I did come back to my original weight which is 105 pounds, but was left with loads of loose skin and felt horrible.

My confidence had gone, and my stamina left with my confidence.

The regular gym was boring, and I didn’t have time to run everyday.

Innovative Results was a god send, and fell in love with their style right away.

Around that time Innovative results was a pioneer in its style.

All the crossfits and bootcamps that you see now, started much later.

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

I have had 2 pregnancies with Innovative Results.

I have not only come back to my original weight, but got back my muscle and body toned within no time.

My metabolism, sleep pattern, stamina has improved tremendously.

Losing 60 pounds and finishing my first half marathon in 2 hrs 20 mins is enough for me to have confidence in my coaches and my playground Innovative Results.

What keeps you coming back to Innovative Results?

The workouts at Innovative results are never boring.

I have never felt that I am doing the same exercise every time.

Everyday exercise regime concentrates on a different body parts like upper body, legs and of course bootcamp and crossfit style training is never forgotten.

How has Innovative Results improved the other areas of your life (i.e. work, relationships, finances, education)?

I have high tolerance to pain, have much more stamina, can be on foot all day, and am able to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and biking for longer hours.

What advice do you have for someone who is just getting started with Innovative Results?

Weight loss, lean body mass are goals that can be accomplished if you are persistent and consistent with your exercise regime and good diet.

So have patience, you will achieve it.

female torso and absHow has your life changed since you started training at Innovative Results?

I have become more confident.

I can carry myself in any outfit.

I love food and I don’t feel guilty anymore.

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

All my close friends.

I feel whosoever is not part of this family is losing in a lot of things.

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

Stay fit and healthy and a successful runner with least aches and pains have always been my top priorities.

Plus the trainers at Innovative Results are so well adept with all new and effective solutions towards my goal.

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?”

Orange County Personal Trainer talks about Allergy Medicine and Exercise

January 10, 2009 by ptpt 5 Comments

Question:

I have exercise-induced allergies, and I am training for a marathon. I went to the doctor and all I got was Claritin. What can I do?

Answer:

There is the classic East meets West answer for this question. I am drawn between answering this question in a neat and tidy Western influenced answer and answering the way I want to with an Eastern flare, so I will attempt to do both. At our clinic in Los Angeles, we try to tackle all problems with an eclectic point of view. The Western thought of your allergies would tell us that with all this training for a marathon, you have developed an allergic reaction to some of the irritants outside. Most experts agree that even with severe allergies, exercise should not be cut out of one’s daily routine. The exerciser should try to make informed choices on his/her exercise program. The first step is to try to nail down exactly what you are allergic to. Screening for the particular allergen can only be done by an allergy specialist. The allergist will put you through a series of distinctive tests, shots and trials until they can narrow down the possibilities. A great web site I would like to refer you to is drkoop.com.

If we look at the rise in allergies and quirky aches and pains in today’s society, we will see that it has hit epidemic proportions. Has the earth really gotten that much worse in the last 20 years? I don’t think so. There is a book called Heal Thy Self by Saki Santorelli that I think you may be interested in if you want to open up your mind for a while. Another author I strongly recommend is Mary Louise Hayes. These authors delve into the reality of self healing and realizing that allergies are signs saying that the body as a whole is not liking what is going on right now. To medicate and try to mask the real issues can put you on a roller coaster of Western medications, surgeries and quick fixes to line the pockets of extremely wealthy pharmaceutical companies. We strongly recommend anyone who is undertaking any exercise program, let alone a task like a marathon, to take time for their inner being as well as their exterior. Far too often exercise enthusiasts will turn ill for no apparent reason. People will ask if exercise is so healthy, why did those people get sick or worse? The reason is quite simple really. Exercise is nothing more than stress to your body. Hopefully, the stress is placed in such a way that we adapt to the systematic stress placed on the system to become a stronger organism.

What should you do? Track the time you spend in training for your marathon, and compare it to the time you spend in healing exercises such as deep, tranquil meditation or prayer. How does it balance out? Most exercisers will topple the scale in athletic pursuits and preparations without giving a second thought to their inner spirits or their mind power. Even the IDEA trainer magazine’s cover story in the May 2002 issue is “Focus on Psychology.” In this article Dr. Jim Galvin delves into the concept of how our emotional histories may actually sculpt our physical selves. He raises the idea that people look a certain way based on their mental states and past experiences. He goes so far as to say that trainers may be doing their clients a disservice if they don’t take into account the client’s mental well being. APEX nutrition stated in their certification course that the number one determining factor of whether an exercise and nutritional program is going to be successful was the mental state of the individual at the time of undertaking the program. Yet, for two days we did not discuss psychology of any kind.

We are being bombarded by the quick fix attitude and the 99 cent heart attacks on a daily basis, but occasionally a book or movie will inspire our creative nature. The two latest movies that may intrigue your inner spirit are K-pax and Pay It Forward. In K-pax, Kevin Spacey actually states that, “All life forms have the power to heal themselves, we just choose to ignore it.” I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t mention that there are programs to help people take an active role in their overall health. Paul Chek has a program called “Optimal Health and Fitness through Nutrition and Lifestyle” that I think is right on the mark. The NCEP also has a class dealing with the psychology of sport and exercise. The concept of mind, body and soul have been with us since the beginning of time. They are meant to create balance in one’s life. The choice is yours to accept.

I didn’t intend to overdo the alternative healing routes on you without warning. This article was in no way meant to say that you don’t legitimately have an ailment in which a suitable medication may be available. I intended this article to provoke thought on a different level to our readers. Thank you for allowing the forum of question to convey this message. I hope I answered your question proficiently in both Eastern and Western styles
