Mobility before Strength

Mobility before Strength! 

This is one of the cornerstones of AFC's training program. In order to maximize your results you need to be able to move through the full movement of any exercise. If you start building strength before you can go through a complete movement you are not going to receive the best results and you will increase your chances of an injury. You actually are building strength upon a body which doesn't move well. This is not smart. Mobility before strength. Train smart.

AFC's program uses 4 basic stretching modalities for optimal range of motion.. Myofascial release, active stretching, neuromuscular stretching, and static stretching. Each one has a specific benefit. When you are trying to lengthen a tight shorten muscle you should apply all 4 methods to gain optimal range of motion. Myofascial release should be used first, then active, and neuromuscular stretching last. This is the protocol we have found gives us the best benefit.

Where do I start?

Okay guys.  I'm excited about our New blog and site. We will bring you a daily tip, a weekly instruction question, and a client profile weekly.  


 Some of you know me already but for those who do not, I'm Reggie Clements, and I have been training clients for over 25 years.  I have created this blog to share my knowledge with you. I have chosen to use each week to provide you information which may inspire you and I hope it has some affect on how you live.


 

Today's question is : What is the fastest way to lose weight? 

This is what I would do if I was starting a exercise program today. First, I would consider my nutrition. Because the biggest lesson I have learned is that starting off improving your nutrition will guarantee you results. Your results will be greatly enhanced if you do this first.

There are 3 factors you have to consider when you are preparing a plan to improve your nutrition.  The different ways to lose weight, the cost, and your motivation. Take these 3 factors and go and gather information on each and personalize it to your situation. I have put together a short example for you to start with below.

1. What are the different ways available to me to lose weight

  • Weight loss programs - Weight Watchers, Nutri-system,...
  • Food delivery service - The Zone, ...
  • Dietitian - Search google or go with a referral from a friend
  • Private trainer - Search google or go with a referral from a friend
  • Coach - Search google or go with a referral from a friend
  • Surgery - Search google or go with a referral from a friend
  • Fasting, Cleanse
  • Become a vegetarian or vegan
  • Go at it alone.
2. What is the cost and how much I'm I willing to spend?

  • The cost is important. How much you are willing to spend can effect your goal.
3. How motivated are you?

  • This is a big key. However you can be highly motivated and still not reach your goals. You must have the proper formula. Motivation and knowledge smartly applied will give you the very best results possible in the quickest time.
Conclusion: Think about your motivation first, then how much you are willing to spend. Then look at some of the options available to you for weight loss. Match what you are willing to spend with your choice of weight loss. If you are highly motivated you succeed at any of these. If your motivation is medium to low, pick a service that controls your food or your training time. By combining these three factors together you will give yourself the best chance to succeed.

 

  • example: Weight watchers + low to medium budget + high motivation = long term success.  (This works because Weight Watchers is on the lower expense but a very good program. It requires a medium to high level of motivation. It will not work with a person with low motivation. Weight Watchers is good because it teaches you to eat and provides variety, but like I said you have to be motivated to complete it.)
  • example: Food delivery service + medium to high budget + medium motivation = success (This works because the food is delivered to you. This cuts out all the guess work. No counting calories or cooking. It requires a medium to high motivation to be successful. Even though this program does a lot for you a person with low motivation will not be able to maintain a consistent pattern. The cost can be medium to high. If you have a budget for this you will be very successful.)
  • example: Private trainer + medium to high budget + low motivation = success (If you hire a private trainer and have the budget for it even though you have low motivation you will be successful. 
  • Go at it alone + Low budget + high motivation = Success(If you are very discipline and well organize you can find the information you need and organize it properly. Being highly motivated is the key to this formula.
Do your homework first, then match your motivation to the other 2 factors.

Being consistent is the major key.
