Strength Over Stress: Do More than You’ve Ever Done Before

November 15, 2016 by Jessica 5 Comments

She had already competed in an earlier event. For the entire ten minutes, first-time Kettlebell Sport lifter Kelly Boaitey finished with 159 repetitions in lifting Jerk, not once setting down the 8 kg kettlebell. But this was just the first lift out of two. When she was going up to the platform for Long Cycle, Boaitey kept telling her teammates that she was already tired and wasn’t sure how she could go on. As the announcer counted down the seconds to begin, she couldn’t complain anymore (or maybe she did a little). At the end of another ten minutes, not once did Boaitey set down her kettlebell. And like the first lift, she had reps in the three-digits, achieving a personal goal of 101.

As a self-employed, single mom of three, fifty-year-old Boaitey is no stranger to stress. Her occupation involves miles and miles of being on the road. Despite needing to be at a different place at different times during the week, Boaitey makes time to go to Innovative Results, Orange County’s Fitness Playground. She said, “I find ways to get there, 3 days a week, at 5 a.m.” For Boaitey, there are definite results each time she shows up to a training session. As Boaitey said, “I can go there feeling absolute crap, overwhelmed, it’s the last thing I wanna do, and I come out feeling like a completely different person in an hour.” And with every hour that Boaitey has put in at Innovative Results, she rarely ever says “I can’t.” Her recent success as a novice Kettlebell Sport Lifter is the next level in her health and fitness journey. She admits to surprising herself: “I never imagined to be where I am only because I never tried to go there. I used to say I can’t a lot..but I’ve done things that I’ve far surpassed I could ever do.”

Beat Stress: An Even More Important Reason to Stay Active

Many health and fitness experts have highlighted how stress impacts us all, regardless of whether or not we are at our ideal weight or need to lose a few pounds. In fact, everyday stress can exacerbate health challenges we already struggle with. According to Aaron Guyett, Innovative Results Owner and Head Coach:

“Stress is a part of our life. Either we feel stressed or we feel lazy. Yet we can mitigate the tension of stress by preparing our bodies and minds with the daily routine of exercise. The victory and mindset-improving exercise designed into each Innovative Results workout, prepares our clients to realize their best, and deliver that ‘best’ in every area of their life outside of the gym.”

Boaitey has said that she’s “stayed with Innovative Results for my mental well-being.” In addition, she goes because “as I get older, wanting the core strength to prevent the things that happen to older people. I’m only 50 so better start now.”

Strong Never Gets Old: Uplift Yourself By Lifting Kettlebells

Innovative Results has hosted a few Kettlebell Sport competitions. Innovative Results even has a Kettlebell Sport Team. Earlier this year, Boaitey was a spectator at the Cali Open and cheered on fellow Innovative Results members. Boaitey has said of the experience: “There’s such a diverse group of people that do it – thin, heavy, muscular, not-so-muscular, old, young, really young – there’s something in it for everyone. If you wanted to do it, you could do it….After going to the competition, I’ve not only said to myself I could do this, but I said to myself, I think this would be fun. And it is!”

Besides attending Innovative Results signature hour-long training sessions, Boaitey has added kettlebell lifting progressions to her regimen. She now can perform all the technical lifts in Kettlebell Sport: Jerk, Snatch, and Long Cycle. She has been happy to share her athletic journey. She said, “The world kind of tells you that you’re old for certain things and your body tells you too… but in terms of peers outside of Innovative Results, they ask me ‘So what do you do?’ In the past, I would’ve just said, I go to the gym. But now I say, ‘I do Kettlebell Sport!’”

Stress Loses When You Go Social

There is no room for feeling stress when the social atmospheres of both the hour-long training sessions and the Kettlebell sport competitions are friendly, encouraging, and fun. It’s no wonder that Boaitey commits to improving her quality of life. As she said, “There’s always someone at Innovative Results to encourage you. It’s not just the trainers.” There may be physical challenges. There may be struggle. But everyone overcomes all, together.

The team environment at Innovative Results is a health benefit with immediate results. Not only do workouts engage body and brain, but working out as a team creates connections that are as important to health as strong muscles. People smile. People give high-fives and pats on the back. No one is ever alone in going through something difficult. Getting fit while getting social can only feel good. Feeling fit and healthy isn’t just about physical well-being. It’s also about emotional health. When your body feels good from the outside-in and the inside-out, stress doesn’t stand a chance.

7 Ways to Beat Stress
Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness with this 10 minute per Day Habit

Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness in This Ten Minutes Per Day Habit – Improve Your Quality of Life Today!

October 6, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness?

In Ten Minutes or less per day?

Sounds too good to be true, right?

This article might be long, but it will be worth the read, if you would like to experience an increase in your happiness, satisfaction, and success.

I have been partaking in a daily habit that is completely transforming the way I think about my life, my relationships, my work, and my purpose in life, and at this point, it would be selfish and wrong to not share this with the people in my life that want to experience improved quality of life. So here it goes…

Founder and Owner, Aaron Guyett with his kids.

How can you spend 2 to 10 minutes every day, and experience more happiness, satisfaction, and success, even in the midst of our busy and stressful lives?

First, we need to understand that thinking happy, satisfying, and successful thoughts goes against our nature. All of humanity is wired to remember and focus on the negative, and in case you think you are the exception, read these questions and ponder the answer.

Which thing can you remember faster, something a significant other in your life did that was good or bad?

When you have performed a thousand good deeds or actions for your boss or job, why do they (or you) recall or focus on the one bad thing?

When asked a general question about the way you perform, why do you instantly think with a negative bias, and tend to find your body language, words, or thoughts to be defensive in nature?

Why do we tend to believe the World is getting more violent, oppressive, and dangerous, when every study of history depicts the opposite is in fact occurring in today’s World?

This is the way our minds were created, and without getting overly spiritual, this is what keeps us out of harms way.

If negatives didn’t affect us in a profound way psychologically, we would find ourselves eaten by animals, walking in front of fast-moving cars, and stepping off buildings, bridges, or cliffs often.

The issue with this brain wiring, is that even though life is easier and safer, relative to our human history, we are more depressed, anxious, and medicated than ever before.

We don’t have to fall into this pattern, though. We can make daily choices that help us focus on all of the good stuff, and experience lives that are happier, more satisfying, and more successful, despite the social, emotional, and environmental pressure and stress that can seem to surround us.

Innovative Results, workouts, become better, better everyday, next one best one, orange county fitness playground

If we train our brains to focus on the positives and help seat these positives deep into our psycho-social rhythms, we will reap amazing quality-of-life improvements (And that is what Innovative Results is all about).

Daily movement is shown to improve us psychologically, just as much if not more than it improves us physiologically, but if our thoughts are bad, even playful movement can seem like a daunting task or difficult chore.

I challenge you, to take the 90 Day Bliss challenge:

Take 2 to 10 minutes everyday to partake in one of the Bliss App exercises to improve your quality of life for 90 days in a row.

Why perform positive psychology or positive neuroplasticity training (PNT) daily?

From the Bliss App Page:

“Psychologists have identified a collection of exercises, or “interventions,” which have been shown to create long-lasting improvements in happiness, motivation, resilience, life-satisfaction, and a host of other positive mental traits. Bliss packages these exercises up for you in one application so that you can easily incorporate them into your life and reap all the benefits from decades of research in positive psychology.”

You can get the Bliss app on your phone (even iPhone) here: http://bliss31.com/about.php

If you are interested in some of the research behind this I suggest reading:

“The Happiness Advantage” by: Shawn Achor
Dr. Rick Hanson’s handout here: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fwb-media.rickhanson.net/PDFfiles/UsingYourMindToChangeYourBrain.pdf
And this study http://www.rickhanson.net/teaching/tgc-public-summary/

There is a lot more material proving the point, but I won’t burden you with an exhaustive bibliography.

Know that I want you to experience improved quality of life through increased happiness, satisfaction, success, and purpose in you life, and I believe you will appreciate this HUGE step in that direction!

19 Ways to Get Motivated to Exercise

April 6, 2016 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Maintaining 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!

The 4th Annual California Open Kettlebell Championship

March 8, 2016 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

Just when you think it can’t get any better, this year’s competition was even better than last year’s and the year before!

Here are the FOUR HUGE reasons why it was even better:

First, due to the heart-breaking news that our kettle-brother Philip Gutierrez passed the day before the competition, on Friday the 26th of February 2016, this Cali Open memorialized, celebrated, and became a lift for Phil and his family and friends. With a black sash draped above and the platforms every lifter felt the spiritual presence of an incredible man of God, and mentor to many. The Lobue family was closest to this man and his incredible legacy, and they came down from Central California to represent for Phil. An amazing moment of silence followed by an empty platform with a single chalked bell sitting on the platform, represented Phil, while the entire audience paid respect to this man for a full ten minute set started this incredible day of firsts. The weekend ended with donations, prayers, and respects paid to man of great character, Philip Gutierrez.

Second, a huge showing from our lady lifters, with over 50 females lifting double bells! This is the first WAKSC kettlebell sport competition where women and girls lifted two kettlebells instead of just one. They proved any of the naysayers wrong with their incredible results in Jerk and Long Cycle, many lifting more reps than most male lifters, lifting the same weights. Notably, Kimberly Fox set an Absolute Record in Long Cycle with two 24 kg kettlebells by driving forward to 61 reps like the professional she is. This enabled her to achieve Master of Sport International Class according to Ketacademy Ranking Standards (the Competitive Rules and Ranking Standards of the World Association of Kettlebell Sport Clubs). Some of the other incredible women of the day were: Brittany van Schravendijk of KOR Strength and Conditioning Kettlebell Club lifting two 16kg Long Cycle for 103 reps; Mia Lobue of Girevik Gear Club lifting two 4kg Long Cycle for 79 reps (she is 6 years old); Chelsey Marr of Texas Kettlebell Academy lifting two 28kg Long Cycle for 26 reps, and so many others! Check out the video below to see the greatest flight of the day!

Third, over 150 lifters from all over the nation and World united to lift kettlebells and embrace friendships past and present. Again, the California Open Kettlebell Championship proved to be a World contender for most attended kettlebell sport competition. With lifters flying into Costa Mesa, California’s very own Innovative Results (IR), to lift in Orange Kettlebell Club‘s (OKC) greatest kettlebell sport championship for the fourth year in a row. John “Wild” Buckley, Nazo, and Jason Dolby proved to the World of Kettlebell Sport lifters that they will offer a well-organized competition, under the sanctions of World Association of Kettlebell Sport Clubs (WAKSC) within the rules and rankings of Ketacademy, and deliver above-and-beyond in uniting this sport with friendship, love, and passion! With Denis’s hugs, Rachinski’s heart, and and the OKC Chu (or Spirit). this event over-delivered again to all lifters and observers both in-person and online with a flawless livestream of every lift of both days. Being a part of the WAKSC Grand Prix, this event is sure to get better every year.

Fourth, next year’s California Open Kettlebell Championship will be home to the Kettlebell Sport World Championship! Taking the place of other smaller and less organized World Championships, this World Championship is the place to be if you are looking to be recognized in Kettlebell Sport. Organized by Orange Kettlebell Club; Rules and Rankings by Ketacademy; Sanctioned be the World Association of Kettlebell Sport Clubs; this World Championship is putting Kettlebell Clubs first, and sharing the power of this sport with the entire World. The event is already blowing up on Facebook, and is sure to attract even more lifters, clubs, and nations as the year progresses. Set to happen at none other than Innovative Results, this four day event starting on February 23, 2017 is sure to bring hundreds of lifters together, proving the power of kettlebell clubs through a well-organized, insanely fun, and passionately competitive championship!!

12832385_10207433113044924_8899158207582884490_n — Just a fraction of the clubs representing in 2017 World Kettlebell Sport Championship.

Whether you are a kettlebell lifter or are interested in this fast growing sport, you have an opportunity to attend another ground-breaking, record-smashing, and World-uniting event this coming year. Place this event on your calendar and don’t miss the best kettlebell sport event of the year!

3 things I learned from Kettlebell Competition

September 17, 2013 by ptpt Leave a Comment

From David, a Long Time Innovative Results Client and Friend:

Three things I learned from the competition:

1. Have a plan and stick to it.

It sounds obvious… but it’s never been obvious to me.

Whenever I’ve run a 10k or played in a soccer game or whatever, I’ve tended to “wing it”. Sticking with the 9 reps every 30 seconds allowed me to last the entire 10 minutes and do well.

2. Consistency and dedication pay off.

Again, obvious.

But true.

3. For me the biggest victory has been overcoming my left shoulder injury.

My torn anterior deltoid has given me problems for over 2 years.

It’s taken a LOT of band work, stretching, rehab, and dedication to get past it.

Being able to do 5 solid minutes of 16kg kettle on my left arm was huge for me and has given me a lot of confidence.

Dave’s Story From the Coaches Viewpoint

When David came to me with a shoulder injury, I trained him for a while, and then he became interested in some kettlebell movements.

I will be honest, I was probably more apprehensive than he was about the potential strain to his recently torn shoulder.

He could hardly crawl, let alone lift a heavy kettlebell above his head.

I spent a lot of time coaching proper recovery, and allowing him to take small baby steps toward kettlebell work.

The day he could crawl backward pain free was a HUGE milestone for me to see.

Although he probably thought the inability to crawl backwards was just a hindrance, I knew he was leaps and bounds toward an overhead kettlebell lift.

We started small and arduously with single and double kettlebell lifts, and the large technicality of the lifts can be sort of awkward at first.

Through good recovery techniques with dynamic warm-ups, mobility drills, SMR, and decent nutrition, Dave was able to get a 12 kg kettlebell over his head for a few minutes.

I remember he once told me, “I didn’t think I would ever be able to snatch heavy kettlebells, ever!”

Instead of concurring or disagreeing, I let good calculations and progressions take their proper place in his programming.

Before we knew it, Dave was snatching the 16 kg bells.

It wasn’t long after that he competed.

His first competition, February 2013, was a tough one.

He cut weight for the first time, and I found out Dave has a very grumpy edgy side (don’t we all when we are carb depleted and dehydrated).

He was also in his head way too much, but I was proud of him for stepping out on the platform, trying with the best of them.

He had a good first time showing of 71 reps in ten minutes (it probably didn’t help that his brand new girlfriend, Joanna was watching…talk about nerves!).

Through proper training, diligence, and programming Dave was able to step on the platform in August of 2013, he completed 172 reps in ten minutes during a training set–a 101 increase from his last competition.

Needless to say he blew the competition and his personal record (PR) away!!

With 186 reps in snatch, Dave stuck to the plan, overcame a debilitating injury, and bested his PR two weeks prior by 14 reps!

The greatest victory to me is his ability to stay with something, even when it seems hopeless at first.

I am so proud of his diligence, consistency, loyalty, and hard work!

All of the kettlebell performances are emotional when you spend a ton of time training for it, and it is always nice when the emotion is excitement, happiness, and transformational!

Thank you, Dave, and I look forward to your continued success!!

Dave Competed in His 2nd Kettlebell Competition and Set a Personal Record!

Dave’s mind was focused, and whenever it wandered to hopes of hitting this number per minute, or this total number, I kindly reminded him to stick to the plan (there may have been a few times where it was more of a yell or a scold, but what do you expect when Dave gets paid to analyze a million different outcomes–he’s a statistician, literally has a doctorate in math). Needless to say he blew the competition and his personal record (PR) away!! With 186 reps in snatch, Dave stuck to the plan, overcame a debilitating injury, and bested his PR two weeks prior by 14 reps!
