We are looking for people in Land Park, Midtown, and surrounding areas (close to our location on 16th and X!) who are serious about making a positive change in their fitness and lives in 2020.
We are rolling out a new-and-improved version of our 14 Day Jump start program, and this is your official invitation to join us!
Here’s what you’l get:
— A simple, easy-to-follow nutrition program, AND the accountability you need to stick to it — 6 small group training sessions over 14 days designed to build strength, cardio conditioning, and more — Expert coaches to help you set attainable goals and stay on track — A clean, welcoming facility where you’ll feel at home — Friendly members who will help encourage you and push you towards your goals
…ALL this, for a very fair and affordable cost of $99.
You will learn exactly what to eat and when to eat it to get lean as fast as possible, based on YOUR specific fitness level, goals, and food preferences, WITHOUT having to restrict your favorite foods, or go on some crazy diet.
See, I believe that some of the biggest issues with most diets on the market today are:
1 – They are far too hard to follow.
2 – They are very restrictive.
3 – Often, they are downright confusing.
Why?
It’s because they are designed as a “one-size-fits-all” – type solution.
They don’t account for specific food preferences.
They don’t account for your busy schedule.
And after working with thousands upon thousands of clients over the last 15 years, I’ve come to the realization that, looking at the ones that get the best reults, you need a diet taylored for YOU and YOUR body and goals.
That’s why we’ve created a brand new program.
And this is your personal invitation to join us.
But this is your last call – just a few spots remain.
Pumping yourself up to go on a diet and lose weight for a vacation, reunion, or athletic event is one thing.
Keeping the weight off for the longer term is another thing all together.
And the long term results are what we focus on here at FVT, so we are always looking for ways to help you do it better and more effectively.
That’s why I wanted to share the results of a new piece of research that I recently came across.
See, a new Cal Poly study published in Obesity shows that healthy self-monitoring and phsycological coping strategies are the keys to long-term success.
The study surveyed almost 5,000 members of WW (formerly Weight Watchers) who reported losing an average of about 50 pounds and kept it off for more than three years. Researchers compared this group to a control group of more than 500 people with obesity and who reported not gaining or losing more than five pounds for a period of greater than five years.
The research team examined 54 behaviors related to weight management. Compared to the group of weight-stable individuals, the group of weight loss maintainers reported more frequent use of strategies like setting daily food intake goals, recording what was eaten each day, measuring foods, thinking about past successes, and remaining positive in the face of weight regain.
The researchers also found that these eating and thinking behaviors became easier and more ingrained over time in the group of those maintaining their weight loss.
Cool thing is, we give both of these things attention in our nutrition coaching program.
Because we meet with you individually to help set daily food intake goals, help you learn how to effectively record your foods, etc…
…but we also have specific exercises and methods we employ that focus on helping you stay positive and your focus in the right place.
To sum up, this new study shows that there is science behind the idea that we not only need to focus on WHAT do to lose the weight, but that the thinking and behaviors behind it are equally important.
I hope the infomration and tips in today’s article help you implement this idea into your health and fitness plan for long term success.
If you’re looking for an exercise that will challenge your ENTIRE core – six-pack, obliques, deep stabilizers, and more – the Hollow Hold will get it done.
This is one of the base ab exercises gymnasts start with and master, before they progress to higher-level moves.
Have you ever seen great martial artists in action?
They posesss amazing functional strength!
These athletes do things with their bodies that 99% of the population cannot.
The good news is, that same 99% CAN get many of the same benefits and results – if they change up their exercise routines.
See, with traditional weight training, you often gain strength, but end up losing flexibility, mobility, and overall athleticism.
That’s why we use many of these special same training methods that great martial artists and fighters use in our every day programming at FVT.
Because we know that our clients want this same functional strength that will help them perform and live better in sport, and every day life.
You can get a taste of these special training methods FREE at our upcoming event:
“Combat Conditioning” – Themed Group Workout @ FVT
Our very own coach Donald has trained in martial arts for over 20 years, and has obtained a third degree black belt in the Kajukenbo Self Defense System.
The strength and conditioning protocols used in this training system are unorthodox, but highly effective.
And he is going to give us a little taste of the secret sauce at a special themed boot camp workout on Thursday, February 27th at 6pm!
This workout will be held at our 7485 Rush River Drive location.
These bodyweight-based training methods will have you highly challenged, but energized and renewed at the same time. Get ready to learn how to increase strength, flexibility, conditioning, and total-body fitness.
The best part? Current clients can also bring a friend or family member for free! Just please make sure to register ahead of time so that we can save them a spot (attendance limited to 15). Reserve a spot for your friend or family member at this special workout by entering their contact information here: https://forestvance.wufoo.com/forms/z7mqd5c0v54y1t/
We just finished off a fun and challenging Boot Camp workout here at the FVT studio this morning, figured I’d share so that you can try it at home. You’re going to try to get 45 reps of each exercise in the allotted time (because, of course, there have been 45 US presidents). Check it out:
