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?!

September 18, 2017 by Jessica 1 Comment

emilycannonToday Innovative Results’ is highlighting one of our incredible student-athletes, Emily Cannon.

This young lady’s dedication, persistence, and strength is beyond compare. The Innovative Results Team cannot wait to see what is in store for Emily’s future, and athletic career!

Here is Emily’s Testimonial Interview given by Manny Aragon(MA) for Innovative Results.

MA: When did you start coming to Innovative Results (IR)?

Emily: Last year when I got my license.

MA: 2016?

Emily: Yeah.

MA: Why did you start training here (at IR)?

Emily: Because my dad went and he explained the workouts and I thought it looked fun. So I came. I did try it out before 2016 with my dad.

MA: What would you say has changed in your life from your training?

Emily: My endurance. And all around strength.

MA: So- what does that look like? You play sports- correct?

Emily: Yes. In Lacrosse I notice a difference in my endurance- in keeping up in the game.

MA: So what position do you play? Attack? image3

Emily: Yes. Attack. I’m staying in longer, I don’t get tired as easily and I don’t need as many breaks as I used to. (Ed. Note: Attack is a strength endurance position requiring bursts of explosive speed and power). My leg muscles keep me powering through.

MA: And what’s kept you coming back?

Emily: I like all of the trainers- they’re fun and its not boring workouts- I’m not, I’m not DREADING the workout, its FUN!

MA: How has IR contributed to success in other parts of your life?

Emily: Ummm Its kept me MOTIVATED. My dad and I always use the #IRstrong saying whether its homework im doing- My dad always says “IR strong Emily- you can do it”– and I say “Yeah, I CAN do it!” (laughs) “Yeah.”

MA: What advice would you have for someone who is new here?

Emily: Don’t be scared that you can’t do something- there is always modifications. And its not embarrassing if you’re not as strong as other people.

MA: Who would you want to experience what you’ve experienced here at IR?

Emily: My sister. She wants to start coming here. And I want her to experience what I’ve experienced.

MA: What do you think she’ll get out of it?

Emily: People skills. Being with people who you’re not normally with. I’m never with old people- so now I’m like used to it…

MA: Why do you stay committed to IR?

Emily: Because I look good. I’ve gotten toned- I like it.

MA: Have other people noticed?

Emily: Um-Hmm.

MA: In what way? Positive?

Emily: Yes. Positive.

MA: Anything else to add?

Emily: (pointing at the camera) “I LOVE Innovative Results!”

BOOM!

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.

How Does IR Create YOUR Workout

May 5, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

mark single leg touch

By Mason Murphy

Progressions are the foundation of the Innovative results fitness program.

They are built to ensure that all clients have their needs met, whether those needs are fat loss, muscle gains, or just to get moving. However it goes deeper than just words on a paper telling the IR Training Team what workout to do. The mechanics of movement progress in the following order, Mobility, Stability, Endurance, Strength, and then Power.

Mobility is first because without it you do not have the range of motion to simply stay grounded enough to create stability, endurance, strength, and power. Imagine having a sprained ankle, the reason why you limp is because all of the swelling has taken any range of motion you had before and made it immobile.

Stability comes second because, now that you are lacking mobility in that hurt ankle you cannot put any pressure on it to stabilize yourself. They go hand in hand, so you must fix one to help the other.

Next on our list is endurance, the reason endurance is so vital for any athlete or person getting in shape is because without the right amount of endurance you can’t push yourself to your maximum limits.instagram 5

For example, say we have a 300lb guy who realistically should be able to squat a lot of weight due to his own mass, right? Well, if he lacks endurance we could have him do 1 rep with just a little weight, or even his own body weight and he will become fatigued or “gassed out.” Without that endurance to even lift his body weight he cannot build up his relative strength that he will require to become powerful. Before you can be powerful you must first become strong. In order to dramatically increase your strength and power you must build up that endurance, then no measly piece of iron will stand in your way.

Laugh. Play. Get Results.

June 27, 2013 by ptpt 1 Comment

Here is a quick story that we received today from one of our members:

Almost 4 years and I can count the number of times I have used my 24 hour fitness pass on both hands.

Why?

I have found my NEW favorite Gym.

Best Fitness  Center Orange County = Innovative Results. Period.

When I miss the workout at IR, I MISS the workout. The level of compassion, drive and program development at Innovative Results is unbeatable in Orange County.

I have personally done the high school and collegiate athlete grind. I have squated, lifted, pulled and pressed my way to boredom. Not here. Everyday is an adventure using tools for muscles you forget you had.

Isn’t life about working hard to play hard? Here, there is just playing hard.

If you can workout, laugh, increase strength, and manage your health and fitness while playing, I don’t see why anyone hops on a treadmill or hangs with the grunt and sweat of a basic gym.

Tried and proven IR is the #1 fitness center in Orange County.

Get results and be HAPPY!
