Innovative Results’ Training Program Helps Manny Recover from Injury

October 18, 2017 by Jessica 5 Comments

Since starting with Innovative Results back in Fall 2014, Manny Aragon has not stopped being an inspiration. Starting as a client, Manny is now a couple months into his IR3 internship/mentoring program with Innovative Results as well.

After taking HUGE physical strides, Manny wanted to develop his mindset to not only assist during his workouts, but to help himself create an improved quality of life at work, and with his family.

For more on Manny’s fitness and improved quality of life journey, we highly recommend reading his triumphant stories from start to present!

April 4, 2017 – Innovative Results Kettlebell Sport Competitor, Manny Aragon Shares His Story

Now on to the present!

——

Testimonial for Innovative Results – Injury healed through training.

Name: Manny Aragon

Came to IR: Fall 2014

Joined IR Kettlebell Sport Team: Fall 2015

Earlier this year and coming off of WAKSC World Championships of Kettlebell Sport Lifting, subsequent week of Kettlebell Sport certification with 4 multiple time world champion lifters, and then an intense 3 month Kettlebell Sport snatch training program in an attempt to attain CMS (candidate master of sport) rank in Kettlebell Sport, I was feeling very strong.

It was with this feeling that I jumped headfirst into a demo obstacle course class during which I fell from the monkey bars, landed on my outstretched arm, partially tore three ligaments in my elbow and got a subcortical (crush) fracture on the back of the elbow from hyperextending upon impact. Needless to say, I completed the course after the injury (as I was very warmed up) except for the parallel bars as they require the arms to be straight- a position which felt quite bad as you can imagine.

I wasn’t thinking straight after the injury so I went straight home to get my kids (who were with me) some lunch. After lunch the arm began to swell considerably and the pain and stiffness set in. Luckily, I am a body worker by trade and work in a great sports medicine clinic- I have many resources available to me. That day, though, by the time I had gotten home and gotten my kids and myself something to eat, the clinic was closed until Monday. I thought at that point that my elbow may be dislocated, fractured, or possibly broken. I rubbed liniment into the tissue and did some myofascial work to ease the tension in the now seized up muscles.

Later that night my wife (an acupuncturist) gave me an acupuncture treatment using the orthopedic method she had been trained in by one of her mentors. All told I had 7 treatments in the first 3 weeks and one a week since then (now at 7 weeks out). X-Ray of the elbow showed no major fractures but likely a bad sprain. At 3 weeks, an MRI recommended by a colleague showed 3 partially torn ligaments (one low grade, one medium grade, one high grade) and a subcortical (crush) fracture at the articulation of the ulna with the humerous.

The recommended treatment from both my sports med docs as well as the orthopedist who was consulted was acupuncture (thank GOD I live with one). Needless to say- I was back in the gym two days after the injury- No kettlebell sport training (as I couldn’t push rapid force through the unstable injury) but I focused instead on attending the regular IR progression. I went 5-6 days a week, sometimes doing doubles (as my elbow and schedule allowed) while doing the physical requirements of the IR internship program (challenging).

The key here and I believe the fundamental reason why I have healed so quickly is that I made sure that I moved as naturally as possible within the range of motion and load range high enough to produce adaptation and drive recovery but not so much that I re-injured the joint.

This is a serious injury. I was expected to be completely off of Kettlebell Sport training for months if not an entire season. The take home message: Natural movement heals. A good diet, adequate rest, and being married to an acupuncturist don’t hurt either.

At the end of 5 weeks I began to swing a very light kettle bell to further drive healing and re learn the range of motion in the kettlebell sport snatch. I slowly increased the weight during week 5 and 6. By the middle of week 6 I snatched my full competition weight. This week, week 7, I am working with just shy of my competition weight. I will slowly increase the weight after a few weeks as my arm fully heals. I still cant fully straighten my arm or fully bend it but my range of motion is improving slowly with use during both the IR workouts as well as with the kettlebell workouts.

Thank you to the IR staff, my wife, my doctors, and to Matt who brought bone broth for me to speed the healing process. Special thanks to Aubrie for inspiring me to take this route after watching her quick recovery post shoulder dislocation earlier this year.

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?”

Do I Need to Get in Shape Before I Hire a Personal Trainer?

July 3, 2013 by ptpt Leave a Comment

I need a personal trainer in Orange CountyI was training a friend yesterday when she said to me, “I wish my hubby would start working out with you too.”

I said, “Well, tell him to get his butt in here!”

And she said, “He says he needs to get in shape first….”

I gave her the eyebrow raise and said, “Isn’t that why you go to a trainer? To get into better shape?”

She nodded her head yes, but it didn’t change the fact that he felt that way.

He was afraid I would murder him. He was afraid he would be embarrassed and that

I would be judging him.

And amazingly, a lot of people feel that way.

Fitness trainer in Orange CountyThey feel intimated by working with a personal trainer. They are afraid we are judging them.

Which we are….just not in the way they fear.

Let’s face it, no matter what your level, when you start working with a trainer, your desire is to become better/stronger/fitter than you currently are.

And we are here to help you.

We aren’t going to laugh at you!….Unless of course you fart really loud or have a booger on your face.

We are here to teach and to help you grow.

We recognize that everyone comes into the gym at a different starting point with the desire to become better. We recognize that everyone comes in with different experiences and different pains and injuries.

As trainers, we are going to offer you the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

So stop trying to get into better shape BEFORE you come see us. Because let’s face it, if you were going to get into better shape on your own, you would have done it.

Waiting till you get into “better shape” is just another excuse you are using to put off achieving your goals.

Stop putting off your goals and suck it up and pay me a visit.

I’m not judging. I’m here to help….And maybe even make you laugh, smile and have a little bit of FUN! (But only a baby bit….)
