Cardiovascular
health
Whether doing Gyrotonic or
personal training, we'll also focus on your
cardiovascular fitness. If your preferred recreational pastime is
endurance sports (marathons, cycling, triathlons), we'll work in a specific manner.
But for most people, cardio exercising is something they know
they need to do, and they'll suffer through it because they
have been told over and over that they need to. But are you
really benefiting your body with the way you're spending time
on the treadmill or elliptical?
I can't tell you how much
it drives me crazy to go into the gym every day and see the
same people on the same piece of cardio equipment doing the
same workout for the same amount of time... every...
single...day. They're watching TV, plodding along, believing
that they are doing what they need to for their body.
Honestly, I'd love to have free reign to go over to them, turn
off that TV and tell them “STOP! You're wasting your
time!”
There is nothing wrong with doing your cardio
workout inside, on a treadmill or elliptical. However, as I
said earlier and many times, your time is valuable. Make sure
you're actually using it effectively and efficiently when
you're at the gym. We'll work together to find out the optimal
method for your cardio workouts and follow a organized plan to
make sure your body is continually getting benefit from every
minute you're doing your cardio. Sorry to say, but you may not
be watching too much more reality TV when on the treadmill,
but you'll be watching something that is a reality for you...
your heart rate. Believe it or not, it will make your workouts
more interesting, not less.
