Constant Motion Fitness’ training philosophy is anchored in the belief that life is a sport and everyone is an athlete. With that in mind, the most important tenet in our training is that function and performance outweigh physical appearance. Clearly, physical appearance is a highly motivating factor for many of us. When we look good, we feel good. Don’t misinterpret our philosophy to mean that we don’t respect or understand your desire to look good. In fact we encourage that. What you should know is that our training methods and the main goal of our workouts is to help develop peak personal performance. Whether your sport is playing football or chasing 5-year-olds, you need your body to respond quickly, efficiently & safely when you ask something of it. When this workout style/philosophy is combined with a healthy, balanced diet, the results will include the body you’ve always dreamed about having. Even more importantly, you’ll protect yourself from injury when you have to move quickly in a different direction to protect your kids or catch something that falls from the cabinet.
Our workouts involve four major components:
Core Stability and Strength – Your body’s core is the key to stability in any movement. Everything from bending over to pick up your kids to putting away heavy boxes in your garage requires you to transfer strength from your lower body to your upper body. This transfer takes place almost entirely in your core.
Balance – Your body moves in all directions every day. In order for your body to effectively move, you must have proper balance. By training the small stabilizing muscles that don’t get used during isolation weight lifting or while running or cycling, you’ll optimize your performance in all aspects of all activities. We work to maximize your balance while creating a faster connection between the neural network and your muscles, creating smarter muscles in the process.
Full Body Strength – How often do you find yourself using JUST ONE muscle? Isolating just your bicep for example… Ummmm… NEVER!!! In real life and real sports, your body works to combine movements in the most efficient manner possible to perform an action at the command of your nervous system. Every Constant Motion Fitness workout (group or individual) challenges the entire body, not just one area.
Agility – Agility is the ability to maintain your balance and stability in order to change your movement pattern. If you’ve ever tripped and managed to get your foot out in front of you to catch yourself before you fell, you’ve experienced the benefits of good agility in everyday life. Life and sport happen in all directions and planes of motion. Running is a great exercise for cardio-vascular health and endurance, but how much does it really help you in your activities of daily living? Running should be part of your workout scheme, not sole component.
