Beaufort Health and Fitness: 9 Minute WarmUp (Joint Mobility and Heart Rate/Core Temp Increase)

Great Beaufort health and fitness 9 minute warmup. If you ONLY did this daily you would feel less joint aches, more mentally prepped for the day, burn some extra fat, have a better mind body connection, stave of mental degeneration but consider it a warm up before the work out. It is pieces of some of the best Beaufort health and fitness warm up routines I have experienced to prep the whole body.

Dynamic Warm Up

Published by admin on August 3, 2015 | Leave a response

Get ready for increased results!

Dynamic Warm Up is super important. There is numerous reasons to it right? First off, it’s a psychological preparation so you’re getting your mind ready to go into the actual training session. It activates the nervous system so it helps you with strength, endurance, cardiovascular helped in the training.

But, the number 1 reason we do it is for injury prevention. Clients who are consistently not warming up to activate the heart rate, raise the core temperature, get the joints lubricated are going to end up with those joints aches and pains that start to build up each time they do not warm up.

Warming up in a proper way is how most people should be warming up and will get the most benefit from it. Most people will do 5-10 minutes of cardio to get their heart rate up which is fine, it gets your core temperature raise, it gives psychological preparation but those people that do that versus what we do in training will get to see the difference. They will feel stronger, they will feel more mobile, they will have more flexibility, more range of motion, psychologically will feel better and so, the results will be drastically better.

I will post later on a good Dynamic Warm Up that you can do on your own in about 5 minutes and a lot of those things are actually neurological activations…

This is Ian Hart… ready for the dynamic warm up.

Beaufort Personal Trainer: A Workout You Can Do Anywhere

Beaufort Personal Trainer: A Workout You Can Do Anywhere

“Hey! Good Morning! So, I’m back in the spot where I came when I first landed in Thailand and I’m doing a little workout on a beach but the truth is yesterday I was in a tiny tiny hotel room…and I didn’t workout and I’m gonna incorporate what I did yesterday or two days ago with today.

And so, training is supposed to be a slight progression of the things you did before without killing yourself right? It’s not generally good to be sore all the time. I’m training two times a week for only half an hour then maybe that might be the case because that’s the only stimulants you’re getting but for example today I’m doing 10 sprints. Each sprint getting faster and faster until around 8, 9 and 10 or my max sprints and jogging back in between so there’s no rests. About 8-9 rep my heart rate should be very high so I haven’t stopped my cardio and then after that, I’m gonna do what I did back in the hotel room it doesn’t take any space at all: 3 sets of 30 pushups and 30 squat jumps alright no resting on the pushups, no resting on the squat jumps but in between taking about a minute. And so, that workout with the warm up included takes about 15-20 minutes. It gets my metabolic heart rate going or stimulates my metabolic systems because my heart rate up and it gets me ready to start the day. When I start the day off like this I’m energized, more focused, mentally ready, and hopefully I’ll sleep better on my foot. Alright, so again all you need is space and a little motivation to get going and pretty much you can do workout anywhere. Alright, and sometimes it’s the accountability and the motivation and inspiration that really gets you going so hopefully this can inspire somebody who’s either on vacation, or doesn’t have the means to get to a gym.

Alright, so I hope you enjoyed it and this is Ian Hart checking out from Nai Yang Beach.”

Beaufort health and fitness: Core Values

Published by admin on April 18, 2015 | Leave a response

“I got a ton of great feedback on the last video I did so I thought I would expand on it more. It was early morning and was just gathering my thoughts so bare with me :)”

Beaufort health and fitness: Core Values

“Hey! Good morning! It’s Ian Hart and thought of doing a video to expand on what I was speaking about in the last video I sent about a few days ago. I got a ton of great feedback and so I thought I would give a little bit more in regards to that topic so that it could help people move towards their goals faster and with more clarity.

So, I spoke about core values and how important it is to move forward towards their goals and when you have core values and you dig deep into what your core values are, what your passions are, then it gives you more direction and clarity. Alright so, as with the map if you want to go somewhere first, you need to know where you’re at and then only then can you move forward. And so it’s the same thing the core values as you define your core values you essentially have more meaning in your life and when you have more meaning you have more value.

Alright so, it’s a symbiotic relationship: you have meaning which creates value. And then, creates more meaning and then creates more value. And so, life continues on like that as we add meaning to it, we add more value to it. For example, a relationship has value only when it has meaning right? Someone has passed away you don’t know, someone across the world passes away and you find out about it or you might hear about it you might say “Oh it’s terrible!” but it’s not traumatic because that relationship doesn’t have value but when someone close to you passes away it’s traumatic because that relationship has meaning and value. And so if you have a good relationship with yourself then you have meaning and value in that relationship. The more you’re going to take care of your health, the more you’re going to expect all the things that enter your mind, your body, your spirit, your soul and then ultimately, you’re going to add more value to your life and to your relationship and everything around you will seem better, have more direction, purpose, clarity. And so, the more value you give your life the better everything else is, the more you will take care of yourself, the more love you will show yourself and others.

So, you know people come into us for training and they’ll say things like “Oh you know it’s expensive or you know I’m just not ready to do it…” but they’re in the position where they’re in dire need of health and so those people just don’t value their health and they don’t see the value in their health and if they had a solid foundation of core principles, core beliefs, core passions, they knew who they are, what they are about then they might see more value in a training program or taking the first step forward in a training program. So, I hope that helps expanding on the core values concept. This is something that we are going to implement into the EarthFIT program for those that are interested… and yeah, I’ll be back implementing these core values into our program for those that are interested in it and so this will help everybody move forward towards their goals and then actually will help every aspect of their life. And so I’m excited to bring that to EarthFIT.

Alright, Ian Hart here signing out from Nai Yang Beach in Thailand. Alright have a great day and I’m checking out!”

Beaufort Fitness: Weighted Clapping Pull Ups

Beaufort Fitness: Weighted Clapping Pull Ups

“All right so I showed you the 40-lb pull up weight vest so this was a strength training exercise. I’m going to do more of a power exercise today… This is way more advanced and this is very hard you have to be able to do clap pull ups by yourself with bodyweight. So I’m going to show you progression now and I’m not even sure I can do this, I haven’t done this yet with the 40 lbs weight vest so I’m going to attempt this. It’s going to be a pull up with a clap in between and then grab on to the bar again. We’ll see how many I get I’ll probably be able to get like 2 or 3, but will give it a shot here.

(Please see the video)

So, I had to use my legs and swing and do what people might call kicking pull up on the last set. I actually don’t know with my form looks like so I’m going to look at it and see how I was doing it. Again, this is an exercise that you’d have to be able to do without the weight so weighted clapping pull ups like this.

(Please see the video)

All right. My arms burned out but… so you got to pull up, clap and then catch yourself that’s an explosive power movement. So that’s a very advanced pull up technique that you can use once you’ve maxed out doing pull ups with body weight. Adding more and more weight then once your body is ready for it you can do this power movements with the pull ups.”

Beaufort Fitness: 40lb Weighted Pull Ups

Published by admin on December 16, 2014 | Leave a response

Beaufort Fitness: 40lb Weighted Pull Ups

“All right. So here I am about to do pull ups. This is an advanced pull up exercise. I’m wearing a 40-lb weight vest; so this is true strength. I don’t know how many reps I’m going to do. This is going to be my first set I’ll probably going to shoot for 10 reps. Let’s see – the first set should be okay. So I’m doing wide grip pull ups and if you can do 20 solid pull ups with just your body weight then this is something you can definitely progress to. You may want to start with a lighter weight vest than this since 40lbs this is a big jump with weight.

(Please see the video)

So, because of the way I’m training I’m going to rest about 2 – 2 1/2 minutes and then repeat that; most likely I won’t be able to get 10 reps but that’s how I’m going to build my strength and this is a pull up strength training exercise. Again, if you can do 20 pull ups by yourself then you can start adding about 10-15lbs on your pull up and you could stretch it by saying you could do clean 15 reps of pull ups you may be start adding on a little weight but that’s what I recommend and then you can progress to something like a 40lbs weight vest in time each week by adding weight.
Again, this is Ian Hart so this is the weighted pull up. Today I’m going to do 4 sets of the weighted pull ups.”

Beaufort Personal Trainer: Kettle Bell Circuit

Published by admin on December 3, 2014 | Leave a response

“Hey! What’s up? It’s Ian Hart (Beaufort Personal Trainer) here at EarthFIT Connecticut and today I’m going to be doing 4 Exercises Kettle Bell Circuit. You can use whatever weight you can do as many reps that weight fits or suits for you.

Today I’m going to be doing 5 reps of each exercise with the pretty heavy weight 72lbs Kettle Bell so I’m going to be doing 5 reps with One Arm Swings (on each side), 5 Cleans, 5 Snatches and then 5 what I called Power Bombs I don’t even know what they’re called and I’m going to be doing that in circuit for 3 sets so pick a weight that works for you. If 10 reps works for you with a lighter weight that’s great, go ahead and try that out. I’m going to get started and show you one set of this Kettle Bell Circuit.

(Please see the video)

The last one can be a little tricky. Make sure you are using a proper weight.
So there you have it – Thanksgiving Kettle Bell Circuit. Go ahead give it a shot!”

Beaufort Personal Training: “…we feel the results!”

Published by admin on October 15, 2014 | Leave a response

Impressive and positive feedback keeps rolling in about these two EarthFIT Beaufort personal trainer Jessica and Jackson. I just got another email from a client with this feedback below.

“I wanted to write you and share some thoughts *#g and I have been talking about. Often, people who are content don’t share positive things!

…I have been really happy with Jackson and Jessica… Jackson is excellent at insuring our form and technique is where it should be. We have been noticeably energetic, but sore the last few weeks. We have actually been more sore the last few weeks than we have over the last year… with J and J, they will adjust the weight so we can do the number of reps we need to get in the exercise. I strongly believe that is the difference and for us, we feel the results!

We haven’t told either of them because there’s really no time to talk, so I hope you will share our appreciation for their style!”

“Hope all is well! Jackson and Jessica are doing a great job at Lay’s Island and I love working out with both of them. Out of all the “trainees” I think Jessica has been one of my favorites! Forceful when needed but attentive and very helpful and supportive. Jackson same thing he wants you to have a great workout without killing you! This has been very important to me personally with the elbow thing I have been dealing with. Which is finally getting better.”

Beaufort Fitness: Weight Training

Published by admin on September 1, 2014 | Leave a response

There are a few misconceptions about weight training. Many people associate weight training with muscle bound body builders and pro football players. It is true that people with super fit bodies get that way by including weight training in their Beaufort fitness plan, but weight training is not what creates bulky muscles. In fact, weight training is an ideal way to speed up weight loss. It is also a great way to ward off aging and to increase energy. It’s really simple actually. EarthFIT has the equipment and a Beaufort personal trainer know how that can get you on your way to a healthier, fitter you.

One of the best ways to fight the aging process and to increase core strength is through Beaufort fitness: weight training. Getting older does not mean you have to become frail. Through weight training you can increase your strength and improve your general Beaufort fitness level. The stamina that you increase through the proper use of weights during your training session will easily help you to shed pounds and shave off the years. There is scientific evidence that supports the idea that a good weight-training program will actually turn back the clock and fight osteoporosis.

For the ladies that shy away from weight training because they fear getting “bulky” rest assured the professional staff at EarthFIT understand how the body works and can help you to tone up without the bulk. Most people don’t realize that by adding weights to your workout you are seriously increasing the benefit of your workouts. Adding weight training to your routine will directly translate into your everyday life and improve your performance in other activities making them easier to accomplish.

You can sculpt your body to get a longer leaner look by using the right amount of weights progressively, and doing the right exercises, but attempting to figure out what to do and how much to use on your own might be a bit difficult. In many cases people that have set out to do this on their own have found that they were not achieving the results that they expected and some even injured themselves by using the weights wrong with incorrect form (they might have even had a less-than-reputable trainer).

So they watch their investment go to waste and wind up selling their equipment turned clothes hanger at a garage sale. The professionals at EarthFIT can provide you with the guidance that you need to get the look that you want. You do not have to take on the task of designing a plan and sticking to it alone, EarthFIT can be your specialized support system.

The luxury of a personal trainer that can show you the ropes is not exclusively linked to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, just about anyone can afford to use the services at EarthFIT. The real question is; can you afford not to? It is actually cost effective to train at EarthFIT when you compare it to buying the equipment and the risk that you take having at it alone. Of course there are other gyms that offer the same equipment but what really sets EarthFIT apart is the Beaufort personal trainers that are there for YOU.

There is no doubt that the benefits are tremendous! EarthFIT can help you look and feel your very best through weight training. At EarthFIT all your excuses will go right out the window. You will want to be there and take advantage of this great program.
