Personal Nutrition Management

This is not just another diet... It is a Personal Nutrition Management process that educates, motivates and satisfies! You see it doesn't matter if you are attempting extreme weight loss, improved health and wellness, body sculpting, natural bodybuilding or improved athletic performance... Nutrition most definitely plays a make or break role in your success! You can get your body to do just about anything desired by eating clean healthy meals if they consist of the proper portions and precise ratios of lean proteins, complex carbs, fibrous carbs and dietary fats to meet your bodies needs. As your metabolism becomes more efficient and your workout intensity increases macro-nutrient ratios must be adjusted accordingly to accommodate a much leaner and healthier you. Our approach will ultimately lead to what we call lifestyle eating that consists of eating clean healthy foods 80-90% of the time while giving you the other 10-20% of your time to relax without gaining back unwanted body fat or hurting your workout performance. Food for thought... The better you feel the less you want to veer from eating the foods that ultimately made you Look Better, Feel Better and Live Better!

Muscular Development & Strength Training

Stabilization & Balance Training... A Step Above Ordinary Core Training!

Stabilization training can be defined as specific training that addresses the stabilizing system of the body known primarily as the CORE. The CORE is the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex that also includes the thoracic and cervical spine. At DESIGNER BODIES we also focus on the integrity of the shoulder/neck complex as well as the knee/ankle complexes for maintaining proper balance throughout the entire kinetic-chain. You will learn to train your body from the inside out to insure structural, postural and biomechanical efficiency. It is functionally important to be core and stabilizer strong for fitness training, sports performance, occupational fitness and living healthy as we attempt to age gracefully.

Cardiorespiratory Performance & Muscular Endurance Training

You will be taught how to perform cardio that is specific to your personal goals. If you are an endurance athlete and are eating like an endurance athlete you will be challenged to train at intensity levels that increase aerobic capacity and improve muscular endurance. If your goal is to lose body fat and you are eating to lose body fat then you will be taught how to burn body fat, increase aerobic capacity and improve cardiovascular health by utilizing scientifically based training methods that work efficiently. Many fat loss programs utilize a shock and awe approach to cardio combined with an extreme low calorie diet. Truth be known it doesn't really take hours of cardio to lose unwanted body fat if your nutritional approach is sound. Losing body fat comes from a combined effort of what you eat, how you eat and how much you eat coupled with consistent muscular development and strength training sessions. Cardio definitely has its place as a stimulus in your fat burning efforts when performed correctly. Unfortunately many believe that you can force body fat loss by performing more sessions and/or increased durations of cardio exercise but in most cases the body recognizes this approach as chronic stress thereby causing the metabolism to burn less calories in response to diet and exercise.

Flexibility Training... Muscle Extensibility & Joint Mobility

There is nothing worse than stiff achy muscles to block energy and to make you feel weak and lethargic. You will increase energy and decrease stress by utilizing cutting edge training techniques for restoring flexibility, muscle extensibility, neuromuscular efficiency, improved blood flow and joint mobility while enjoying the functional benefits of a balanced body that has the freedom to move efficiently!
