PROGRAM STRATEGY

Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc.’s fundamental strategy is to continuously keep fitness fun. If fitness is fun then you will find enjoyment in your workouts, not just in your results. Enjoyment fuels ambition, which is key in keeping fitness a permanent fixture in your life.

 

In order to reach your fitness and health goals, you must stick to a routine. The underlying strategy here is to ultimately be your own trainer. To be able to motivate yourself and understand how to continually stretch your limits of cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength and endurance is a wise gift of health you can (and should) give to yourself.

 

Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. focuses on being creative and building fun activities, while targeting your personal health and fitness goals. Feedback from clients, about the workout activities they do and do not enjoy, is encouraged.

 

Besides engaging in fun activities, there are other important factors that are required to help a client reach their specific goals. The two biggest obstacles clients must face are increases in intensity and duration. These are the two factors that will create change in the body and lead the client on the path to fitness and health success. There is great truth in the words, “No pain no gain.” However, enjoyment of exercise will often motivate clients to push themselves beyond the pain threshold. The more a client can do this, the easier the level of intensity will become for which growth of strength, power and endurance can take place. Then a higher level of intensity and duration can be set, as a new goal. Enjoyment is the driving force of motivation.

 

Clients are encouraged to meet other health conscious people with whom they can partner up and exchange mutual encouragement. Working out with others does wonders with not only your enjoyment level, but also your motivation. Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc.’s boot camp sessions provide a camaraderie that fuels an enjoyable and social workout. However, working out on your own time, by yourself or with a partner, is also part of your motivational training. Enjoyment of fitness strengthens a motivational base, and is the most important factor in maintaining consistency in your fitness and health regime.

 

Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. also provides a full assessment for clients. It is highly recommended, but optional. In the full assessment program, your trainer will talk to you (prior to starting a fitness program) about your specific goals, and how to attain them. Knowing your specific goals and fitness level will enable your trainer to design a specialized program to help you achieve these goals. This will also keep you on a successful path, which you can learn from and follow on days when you are not engaged in boot camp sessions or one-on-one training sessions.

There are various other methods and tools that will also help Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. build a successful program for you. Your trainer will spend time with you, reviewing your exercise history. This history is important and helpful to see what you enjoy already and would probably want in your program. It will also give your trainer some insight on your knowledge base and fitness level.

 

Gathering your health status information provides your trainer with information about what areas of your health may need a doctor’s consent, and at what intensity level you can start your workout program. This is extremely important since it helps your trainer keep the program safe, yet effective, while following the doctor’s prescriptive parameters.

 

You will also receive a fitness level assessment through a basic test that analyzes the level of strength/power in your upper and lower body, your level of cardiovascular conditioning and your flexibility. This is very important data because, without it, there is no baseline to compare your progress with, down the road. At regular intervals, a re-assessment test will be performed. The re-assessment data will be compared to the initial assessment so that you and your trainer can evaluate your progress or focus on areas that need improvement. Your trainer will design a program that will be very specific to your goals.

 

Re-assessments are very important because they will indicate your level of progress. If little to no progress has been accomplished, your program may need to be restructured to ensure more definitive results. Complete honesty from you, the client, is key in determining the next course of action. If you are not following your program, it could be detrimental to both your progress and your health if your trainer is not aware of this.

 

Another strategy that is a big part of Fuel Rx Fitness Inc.’s success formula is focusing a majority of time and energy on nutritional analysis, which is also part of the full assessment program. During your assessment periods, you are encouraged to keep a 24-hour log of what you have eaten, to help your trainer break down your average carbohydrate, fat, protein and alcohol intake.

 

This information is extremely important and will help you and your trainer work together to improve your health and meet your specific nutritional requirements. It is even more helpful and beneficial to your success if you are willing to spend the time keeping a weekly log of everything you eat.

 

When it comes to controlling weight, it takes a combination of regular exercise and well-balanced eating habits to succeed in obtaining and maintaining a healthy level of body fat. One major goal of Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. is to motivate you to develop and maintain good eating habits for life. Establishing permanent healthy eating habits, that are also enjoyable, works very well. This, along with regular exercise, will not only control weight but will help restore health. Many of the high risk factors such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol can be prevented or well controlled with a combination of healthy eating and exercise.

 

Another Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. strategy is to focus a lot of attention based on the common belief that the mind, body and the soul affect each other. Here it is encouraged but only optional to share anything within your comfort zone out of these three human elements that you find either interferring or assisting your achievements. Exploration is the way to finding the gold at the end of the rainbow. The rainbow is whatever exercise/health goals you desire to achieve. We all know that exercising relieves stress and gives us an overall sense of well-being; thus the body is effecting the mind positively. Now by focusing our mind on positive thoughts such as I love to workout will motivate the body to want to workout. The soul is our spirit’s link to our belief systems, our true identity and our spirituality. When the soul is being challenged in some way, it will hinder the mind and body as well. For example, when a person is hurt on some emotional level he or she may either lose their appetite or overeat in an attempt to find comfort. The focus is to replace unhealthy habits with a healthy one.

Fuel Rx Fitness, Inc. encourages sharing different ideas and successful experiences from modalities such as meditation, yoga, massage, spiritual teachings and Western/Eastern healing methods as a way to help each other. There is so much vital information many of us don't know about so we all learn and grow from each other. This is a very powerful method of finding your own successful formula for healthy living.
