The Main Benefits of Level I
Level
I can take anyone at any level of fitness and produce life changing results. Reveals all the secrets to get you out of pain, fix posture, super charge fat loss and master the foundations!
Amazing Fat Loss and Lean Muscle Benefits of Level I Specifically:
Most people who are getting back into fitness are looking to lose weight. That is perfectly natural and it is important to note that in addition to all of the functional benefits you will get from our system, it also maximizes fat loss. These programs also maximize gains in lean muscle, which is absolutely essential for losing fat and getting that toned muscular look.
When women hear the word muscle, they are usually concerned about becoming too muscular looking, but our workouts are aimed at losing body fat and gaining lean muscle which does NOT put “size” on women. In contrast, our workouts are the best way to burn fat and change your body type. For example, our exercises are perfect for sculpting a great looking butt, while also toning the arms and legs. Men are not concerned about putting on a little muscle, but they are still looking to lose fat and get toned. But, if you are a guy that’s too skinny and need to put on some size, don’t worry, our workouts work great in that aspect as well. In the nutritional chapter at the end of the book, we have specific diets and suggestions for every possible goal.
By the way, when we say fat loss, we are talking about the loss of body fat, instead of water weight or muscle. It is by losing body fat and increasing lean muscle that you will get the best aesthetic results. And we maximize this by creating workouts that focus on getting you to burn the maximum amount of calories and increasing your metabolism. This means that you will actually continue to burn calories up to 48 hours AFTER the workout. We use a particular protocol of training which produces incredible fat loss results (this is covered in a later chapter as well). We know that you are putting your money and time into these programs and we want to make sure that you get the best possible results. And you will!!
Most people do not fully understand the relationship between fat loss and lean muscle, so let’s just take a second to explain why lean muscle is so important for fat loss. Many people in the gym will get on a piece of cardio equipment and expect to lose weight. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Just doing cardio does not build lean muscle in the body. And without lean muscle, you will NOT be able to sculpt and tone your body. I think we’ve all seen the same people in the gym for years working away on the treadmill, but they never look ANY different. Why? They are not increasing their lean muscle. Here’s why. There are two main reasons why lean muscle helps you lose fat:
- The more lean muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will go, which means your body will burn more calories throughout the day. This will help significantly increase your body’s potential for burning fat.
- Lean muscle literally helps push fat out of the body. In other words, lean muscle works to replace the fat in your body instead of just adding more weight.
In Level I, the intensity will depend on your fitness level. It is imperative that you begin at Level I, even if you have a high fitness level. This will insure that you correct all the physical issues that may be restricting you. By learning to move better and more safely, you will be able to push yourself more. Of course, this translates into much higher intensity during your training, which will yield much better fat loss results. But, in the beginning, we recommend focusing more on correcting your functional movement patterns. As you move through Level I and your ability to move properly increases, you will be able to turn up the heat on your workouts. That means you should see dramatic fat loss by the end of Level I.
Amazing Functional Benefits of Level I:
In Level I, we are focused on getting back to basics. Almost everyone has muscle tightness and various imbalances in different areas of the body. This means that the functional movement patterns of the body are severely restricted. Muscle imbalances, inflexibility and poor posture all contribute to improper movement patterns. When you move incorrectly or unnaturally, it puts you at high risk for injury, chronic pain, and a low ability to move freely and fluidly in everyday life.
We are constantly amazed at the intelligence of the body. However naively, the body will help you to move in the way you are demanding, even though the muscles it needs to do the movement safely are restricted. So, the body will compensate, recruiting other muscles to get the job done. For example: When you bend over to pick up a box. If your hips and calves are tight and if you cannot properly activate your glute muscles, your body will do the best it can to get the job done. But, it will be moving in an inefficient and dangerous way. So, in this case, instead of using your legs correctly, you may use mostly your lower back. The problem is that this puts you at a high risk of injury and chronic pain. Further, you will be severely limited as to the actual weight you will be able to lift. So, your potential for functional movement will be very low.
In Level I, we will also begin correcting poor flexibility, a wide variety of muscle imbalances and poor posture. To do this, we will be re-training the body to move correctly. Right now, it’s a pretty good guess that you have accumulated many bad movement patterns over the years. These inefficient and unhealthy movement patterns usually lead to chronic pain and injury. As we re-train the body to move correctly and remove the tightness and weakness that is restricting your movements, you will start to feel much more mobile and flexible. A good analogy would be like taking off heavy, immobile ski boots and putting on tennis shoes. After just a few months, you will start to feel like a new person.
