HOW
MUSCLES INCREASE IN STRENGTH
A new program of aerobic exercise
will increase a muscle’s
endurance and tone and make
it slightly larger. But if you
wish to significantly increase
a muscle’s strength and
size, you’ll need to do
resistance exercises one to
three times a week. Being involved
in a strengthening program will
increase the protein filaments
inside each muscle fiber causing
it to grow thicker. The tendons,
ligaments and other connective
tissues surrounding the muscle
will also
become stronger
as the bones attached to the
working muscle increase their
mineral content. Most individuals
achieve their greatest strength
gains within the first few weeks
of training. Because the main
strength comes from the rebuilding
of muscle fibers, it is important
to allow approximately 48 hours
rest between training sessions.
CORE
CONDITIONING – IT’S
NOT
JUST A FAD
By strengthening your hips,
glutes, low back and abdominal
muscles you are conditioning
your core. Your core is the
stabilizer your body depends
on for movement. If your core
is not well conditioned you
may be prone for a possible
injury. Our precision training
program has specific focus on
developing your core strength
while incorporating other exercises
to meet and exceed your goals.
“The sense of power
is an essential element in
all pleasure.” –
John Lancaster Spalding, Writer
There is an element of power
in being fit. When you’re
fit, you can do things other
people cannot do and this
gives you a sense of power.
