If there was two exercises that I would dub the father of all exercises, the mother of all mothers, the best of the best… well you get the idea… it would most defintely be the the squat and the lunge.

In the following post I will be talking about these two exercises and comparing them to each other.

First of all, every single client of mine, young, old, big or small does both of these exercises on a regular basis unless an injury prevents them from doing it.

First of all lets see which muscles the squat works out:

• glutes ( the butt )
• quads ( front muscles of your legs )
• hamstrings ( back of your legs )
• calves
• core

That’s a lot of muscles for one exercise and you’ll also notice that it’s some of the biggest muscle in your body, meaning maximum effort = maximum results = maximum weight loss.

Lets look at the lunge:

• glutes ( the butt )
• quads ( front muscles of your legs )
• hamstrings ( back of your legs )
• calves
• core

So, I’m sure you’ve noticed that both of these exercise work the same muscles. So why do both?

They challenge the same muscles in different planes which adds more functional strength to your body.

If doing both sounds like too much, start with the squat and switch them around each week. This way you’ll keep challenging your body. Like I said these two exercises is the mother of all mothers. They challenge multiple muscles simultaneously and trains the body as a unit instead of individually.

A great advantage for many people that doesn’t feel comfortable in the gym  is that both of these can be done in the comfort and privacy of your own home. And when you comfortable and ready, you can go to the gym and start adding resistance to the movement, but more on that in later posts.

So go ahead and try these two best of the best moves. 

Happy training!

PS: Keep a eye on the video page, coming soon,  that will describe these exercises in detail.

Science was a cornerstone in the development of Kinesis.
The fitness industry has grown up and grown out of resistance machines that only move in one plane.

Kinesis brings a whole new dynamic way of training body, mind and soul.
It mixes functionality with creativity and in doing so enables an infinite number of exercises with Kinesis.
Used for sport specific, rehabilitation, endurance, explosive, young, old, novice and professional, the Kinesis really is for everybody and anybody.

The three pillars of Kinesis is strength, stability and flexibility. Kinesis achieves these three pillars by incorporating balance, proprioception on an uneven surface and controlling your body in space and all in an environment where you can fully extend the body.

Benefits of the kinesis is:

increased coordination
increased strength
increased balance
stronger core stability
increased flexibility
increased endurance
proper posture

In Kinesis training 30% more calories will be burned compared to traditional equipment training. A higher work volume can be achieved in a shorter period of tme.

Kinesis means movement. This type of workout is movement education for the ody and mind. This training is different from traditional exercise . Time in movement is the goal here, rather than reps. Movement training is FUN!

Vibrational training isn’t really a new term but is more commonly visible these days in gyms as the Power Plate. Alot of people dismiss this simple but complexed piece of equipment… Be Aware!

One session with this machine and you’ll discover muscles in places you didn’t know you had.

Simply put, it works much more muscle fibers than conventional training.

Believe it or not but all your organs has a frequency that it vibrates at starting from about 5 Hz to 20 Hz. On the Powerplate you can set the frequency between 30 Hz to 50 Hz.

Bottom line… your muscles work more and harder on a Power Plate and that equals more strength and more fat loss.

My first session was really quite comic, since I felt that this was playtime instead of work-out time. Did I get a surprize?

A big YES!

Like I said, I discovered that I had muscle in places that i didn’t know about.

• BENEFITS OF THE POWERPLATE:
• Strengthening
• Increase in lean muscle mass
• Muscle development
• Increased metabolism
• Reduction of fat
• Increased human growth hormone
• Increased serotonin
• Increased testosterone
• Reduction of Cortisol ( stress )
• Increase in blood flow
• Decrease waste
• Decrease cellulite

The Power Plate can also be used for stretching and best of all MASSAGING. All you have to do is sit on it and magic…

Conventional Training has its place but don’t be scared to try new things, trust me, you won’t regret it.

Make sure you get instructions from a professional and vibrate away…

Happy Training!
