Personal Training

Strength Training for Health & Performance

I use the American College of Sports Medicine Guidelines for Strength Training. The foundation of the exercise prescriptions that I use to personalize your training (depending on your goals, age, and fitness level) can be found HERE.

Cardiovascular Training for Health & Performance

When discussing cardiovascular training, there are four conditions to consider: (1) Frequency; (2) Intensity; (3) Time; and (4) Type. It is generally recommended that you should exercise aerobically 3-5 times for 150 min per week minimally for health. General exercise guidelines for achieving cardiovascular fitness can be found HERE.

Flexability for Health & Performance

I offer a session called Bioflex. HeartMath is used to maximize heart rate variability before we even begin. Active stretching precedes all passive stretching. I also incorporate proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching with and without my additional resistance or assistance. The general guidelines for flexibility can be found HERE

Restorative Yoga and Heart Rate Variability Training with Heartmath

Restorative yoga and breathing with the Heartmath sensors and biofeedback increase the awareness of tension in your body and of reoccurring negative thought patterns. These tools help you self-regulate negative states and transform these states to renewed energy and well-being.

Resonance Breathing Training also known as Heart Rate Variability Training using Thought Technology

Resonance breathing is a breathing technique that involves breathing at a slow, relaxed rate. Thought Technology Biofeedback equipment will be used to find the breath rate that most effectively synchronizes your autonomic nervous system and your circular respiratory system to maintain homeostasis or return to homeostasis after a stressor.

Muscle Relaxation using Surface Electromyographic (sEMG) Biofeedback

Surface Electromyographic (sEMG) biofeedback https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4934580/ can be a potentially useful tool in identifying excessive muscle tension. sEMG biofeedback can be used to help “down-train” elevated muscle activity or to “up-train” weak, inhibited, or paretic muscles.
