As promised, here is the “Three Dimensional Training” post.So what is 3D Training? Most people workout in the traditional single dimension of exercise only without any environmental considerations. When you add dimensions to your workout, you will force your body to adapt to perform and you can expose your body to elements that will increase your physical effectiveness. So, if you could accelerate your results and decrease the amount of time that is necessary for the workout, then wouldn’t that be important for clients as well as fitness center owners? For the client it would mean greater results in less time. For the fitness entrepreneur it would mean more happy clients and more facility capacity due to less time that would be needed per workout. WIN, WIN!HOTWORX now introduces you to 3D Training. The Three Dimensional Training method involves three elements: 1-heat, 2-infrared energy and 3-exercise. When these three elements, or dimensions are combined then fitness magic takes place.
Dimension 1- Heat
When your core body temperature rises your metabolism speeds up. In last weeks post you learned that for every 1 degree Celsius (approximately 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) increase in core temperature, your metabolism go up 10-13%! Another workout advantage is that warm ups take less time in a heated studio.Champion athletes practice heat acclimation to reach higher levels of conditioning. When your body acclimates to heat there is an anabolic effect. Take a look at this research that is worthy of a re-quote from one of my blog posts about a year ago:“According to Rhonda Perciavalle Patrick, Ph.D., increasing your core temperature for short periods, as is done by using a sauna, may offer dramatic improvements to your athletic performance. She calls this concept “hyperthermic conditioning,” which emerging research suggests has multiple positive effects on your body, from increased endurance to the growth of new brain cells.” http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/05/24/sauna-benefits.aspx
Dimension 2- Infrared
Infrared is not just an option for creating heat, Infrared is energy.Infrared energy has the effect of strengthening and activating the regenerative processes in the human body. This is why workouts in an infrared energy environment can help to accelerate workout recovery.According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information,“Thermal radiation (or infrared) is a band of energy in the complete electromagnetic spectrum and it has been used effectively for millennia to treat/ease certain maladies and discomforts.” In one study, as cited by their website, “After constant exposure to FIR, wound healing was significantly quickened and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 expressing myofibroblasts and collagen content were increased.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3699878/
Dimension 3- Exercise
Two forms of exercise work very well inside of the HOTWORX infrared sauna, Isometrics and HIIT. With isometrics, various different methods can be used such as yoga and pilates. With HIIT (high intensity interval training), a short 15 minute routine with a cycle or row will provide just the right amount of workout results when combined with heat and infrared energy.So whether you operate a fitness facility, or you are simply looking for the most efficient way to stay in shape, add more dimensions to your workout. You can get more done in less time with the HOTWORX 3D Training method!
