With both studios busier than ever, we're advising that all current clients be proactive in scheduling their training sessions.
We want to be sure that current clients secure their desired appointment days and times by scheduling appoitments weeks or months in advance.
As always, training sessions are by appointment only and are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis.
A reminder: We respectfully require a 24-hour notice on all canceled sessions to avoid being charged.
Peak trainers will be reminding their clients to secure appointments as far in advance as possible to aviod any conflicts as our schedules continue to fill up.

Real World Fat Loss
Part 2
|
Endurance Cardio vs. Interval Cardio
Endurance Training (Traditional Cardio Training) vs. Interval Training (Peak Metabolic Cardio Conditioning)
- 20 weeks of endurance training vs. 15 weeks of interval training
- Energy cost of ET = 28,661 calories burned (ENDURANCE)
- Energy cost of IT = 13,614 calories burned (INTERVAL)
- Interval training group showed a 9 times greater fat loss than the endurance training group
So, even though the interval group burned less than 1/2 the calories of the endurance group, they still burned 9 times more fat.
How can this be? Read on...
The "Fat Burning Zone" on trial.
- Peak Fat Burning occurs @ 63% VO2max
- Minimal Fat Bruning @ 82% VO2max - near lactate threshold
VO2max = maximal aerobic capacity or the bodies ability to transport and utilize oxygen maximmally during exercise.
So, what's the problem with the famed fat burning zone?
The problem is that everyone focuses on stored fuel usage (fat, carbs, sugar, muscle, etc...) during exercise instead of focusing on optimal fat burning as a fuel around the clock (all day).
In other words, burning fat the OTHER 23 hours of the day or what we at Peak call AFTERBURN - a.k.a: EPOC - Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption. Scientifically, this is recovery of metabolic rate back to pre-exercise levels" and EPOC can require several minutes for light exercise to several hours for intense intervals.
The effects of circuit training on EPOC:
12 sets of exercises for 31 minutes - conducted in "circuit style" consisting of a series of exercises performed one after the other without rest.
EPOC (a.k.a AFTERBURN) was elevated significantly for 38 hours post workout.

Next month, we'll continue our assault on Fat Loss Myths.

Cardiolattes |
Strengthens Every Cell?
By: Micheal Boyle
Cardiolates.
When I saw this, I thought it must be a joke. A coffee drink designed to raise heart rate? I'd like a large cardiolate, with skim milk and Splenda.
Maybe a heart-attack inducing coffee drink? His heart raced after too many cardiolates.
No,
actually, cardiolates is short for cardiovascular Pilates. I have
Googled this phenomenon. What I found was both surprising and
perplexing. It seems that Cardiolates uses a rebounder (a
mini-trampoline) to do jogging-type exercises using the alignment
concepts learned from Pilates. So far so good, I guess.your readers.

Post Workout Nutrition
|
By John Berardi
You don't need to be a resource management
specialist to know that time is the most valuable finite resource that
you have. And as you well know, there's a very limited amount of it to
go around. So if you're smart, you'll figure out ways to get the
greatest return on the investment of your time.
While this may be well recognized and
applied in many aspects of modern life, it confuses me as to why people
seem to ignore this when it comes to their exercise training. From what
I see on a daily basis, it's clear to me that most people in the gym
are wasting their time and money investment. They're spending precious hours
engaged in strength or endurance training programs that yield little or
no results? often paying personal trainers to do the same.
