Our core team has a combined clinical experience of over 50 years. From this vast amount of patient and client interaction we have observed the most common health concerns facing people today and identified the most frequent challenges that hold people back from achieving their ideal health and life. With that in mind, this is why our programs all focus on optimizing three vital areas of health: Movement | Nutrition | Mindfulness
CLEAR, CONCISE, AND EASY TO FOLLOW
Drawing from our clinical experience and the use of up to date scientific research, we have created a clear, concise and easy to follow program that you can implement in your life in order to help you transform yourself so that you are looking and feeling better than you ever have before. From losing weight, increasing muscle tone, improving energy and vitality, decreasing stress or better nutrition, FIT 5-40-5 will provide you with the effective tools, procedures and guidance that you will require in order to ensure your optimal health goals become your reality.
FIT 5-40-5 FITNESS
Short & Effective: 5 Special Exercises for 40 Seconds and 5 Reps. Our fitness components are based on the principles of the highly effective high-intensity interval training or HITT…….only with a twist!
While the science confirms the many benefits of HITT training, it also identifies some of the shortcomings of this form of training as it contributes to overall health and fitness. We have created our workouts so that you get all the great benfits of HITT training as well as make subtle additions to account for the shortcomings in order to achieve the most well rounded results for your health.
The core workouts of the FIT 5-40-5 program consist of 5 Exercises at 40 Second Bursts and repeated 5 Times. This results in a slightly longer form of high intensity training but maintains an efficient time frame in which to train. This form of training has been shown to help prevent post exercise appetite and stimulate FAT BURN due to the production of hormones called catecholamines.
BURNING ADVANTAGE
Research has shown the best way to achieve the fat burning advantage of catecholamines is to alternate between exercises that incorporate all parts of the body.
Our fitness components have been created based on sound scientific findings in order to help you achieve FAT BURNING and MUSCLE TONING as efficiently as you can. In addition, the science shows many other benefits you can achieve from this form of workout, all of which relate to the most common health problems facing people today, thus allowing you to move your needle in the direction of wellness on the spectrum of health. Benefits include:
WEIGHT LOSS
INCREASED ENERGY
INCREASE MUSCLE TONE
LOWER RISK OF HEART DISEASE / STROKE
LOWER RISK OF DIABETES
LOWER THE ‘BAD’ CHOLESTEROL
IMPROVED MOOD
FIT 5-40-5 NUTRITION
The core Fit 5-40-5 meal plans are developed from our innovative ‘Core 40 Food Guide.’ From this guide we create meal plans of 5 portions per day, consisting of 3 meals and 2 snacks or 2 meals and 3 snacks, depending on your outcome goals. Eating 5, smaller portions of food more frequently throughout the day has many benefits to our physiology and therefore the way our body functions. It helps maintain a higher metabolism making our body more efficient at using energy. In addition, it helps overcome ‘weight-loss resistance’ and makes you a FAT BURNING machine! The foods that make up the Fit 5-40-5 Nutrition Plan are specifically chosen to help reduce inflammation in the body which is associated with chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. So, while we are aiming to fuel your body so that it can perform at its best, we are also ensuring food consumption that can drastically reduce your risk of suffering from chronic disease.
The meal plans can be diversified to suit your preferences and goals by following the 5-40-5 principles of meal prep and your FIT Partner may have some additional plans to suit your challenges.
CORE 40
We take in to account that rigid meal plans don’t always account for our personal likes and dislikes. We have made a system that allows for choice and variety which are among two of the more common reasons most people have troubles keeping to a healthy eating regime. Following the Fit 5-40-5 Nutrition Plan could not be any easier.
