Workout Routines for Caregivers
Efficient and Effective

center>

Interval Training Workout Routines are on the cutting edge of the fitness industry. You likely didn't know that as your time is consumed with taking care of your loved one.

Here's why that can and must change. Interval training has redefined the ole 'set' and 'reps' in the gym. Interval training is basically an exercise for a short period of time followed by a resting period for a short period of time. This becomes your set and this set is repeated for several minutes.

The secret to interval training is not how many calories you are burning during your workout routines, but how many you burn after it and where these calories are coming from. This puts a whole new spin on the typical "cardio zone" or "fat burning zone" thinking.

These short burst workout routines have been proven to show up to 9x more fat loss than traditional aerobic exercise. In fact, many study's now show that aerobic exercise does little if anything for larger scale fat loss. It is better than nothing but for you time is limited.



Great News!

Care-giving can be exhausting. Care-receiving can be depressing.

So...

We will be adding more fitness tips and Exercise programs to our online fitness training center over the next few months so caregivers and patients can become stronger, healthier and more independent in their roles.

New Exercise programs will focus on Caregivers and Patients and what you need to do for strength and health!

For example: Bed to Wheelchair Transfers

  • Transferring a a patient from a bed to a wheelchair can result in injury to both the patient and the caregiver if one or both are weak and not careful.
  • We will add an exercise program for Caregivers and for Patients teaching you everything you need to strengthen to be able to accomplish this transfer injury free and for patients to require less help, becoming more independent.

Stay tuned as we soon roll these programs out.

You will find:

  • Improved strength
  • Improved health
  • Improved balance in your life
  • More energy to meet the demands of care-giving
  • Increased independence for patients to take control of their lives
  • Better family/care-giver dynamics as strength begins to combine with teamwork


EPOC - The Magic Formula


EPOC is not really so magical as it is proven and effective.

EPOC stands for Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption. It’s a scientific way of describing the calories you burn after you are done exercising.

After cardiovascular exercise or weight training, the body continues to need oxygen at a higher rate than before the exercise began. This used to be called oxygen debt but describes the different body processes in establishing homeostasis or rest.

Interval training and resistance training have been shown to shake up the body's homeostasis more than traditional aerobic exercise. This means that the body must burn more energy AFTER the workout routines to restore the body back to its resting state - sometimes up to 48 hours.

Over time your body’s ability to convert energy directly into the muscle increases. The muscles ability to store energy increases so your demands for fat release go up, and interval training starts convincing the body to funnel new energy to the muscles instead of sending them to your fat stores.

Interval training trains the body to become more efficient at becoming a fat burning machine.
