A common analogy used, in Metabolic Typing is that of a car engine. As you know, there are many different types of fuel; unleaded, lead replacement and high octane petrol. For your car to run at its best in terms of efficiency, smoothness, power and reliability, you need to ensure that you fill up with the right grade of gas. The same principles apply to your body. A Metabolic Typing Analysis measures a number of your body's regulatory control systems, known as 'Fundamental Homeostatic Controls. Benefits of knowing your Metabolic Blood Type; weight loss or weight control, more robust health and energy, freedom from hunger and cravings, balances your metabolism, prevention of disease, and increase in strength and stamina. PNF Stretching PNF stretching is currently the fastest and most effective way known to increase static-passive flexibility. PNF is an acronym for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. PNF stretching employs the use of a certified, experienced trainer like Denise to provide resistance against the isometric contraction and then later to passively take the joint through its increased range of motion. Most PNF stretching techniques employ isometric agonist contraction/relaxation where the stretched muscles are contracted isometrically and then relaxed. This technique will drastically improve joint laxity, performance in any activity, form and technique when resistance training, and posture. Suspension Training  All-Body Workouts in a Single Station. Suspension Training integrates every aspect of functional conditioning into a single station. Whether for sport-specific training, routine conditioning, or physical rehabilitation, this type of training enables hundreds of exercises and progressions for every body part using nothing but the exerciser’s own body weight to generate resistance. Suspension training affects all floor based exercises where the majority of the body's weight is transferred to the hands or feet suspended in the system increasing resistance and forcing the exerciser to fight gravitational forces. Plyometric training Plyometrics involve maximal muscle contractions at the highest velocity possible. By using this type of training properly, physical performance can be improved. Research tells us that elite athletes spend less time during ground contact, yet they impart the same amount or more power into the ground than less skilled athletes. The true purpose of plyometric training is to decrease the ground contact time of an athlete while sprinting, jumping, or kicking. Before ever starting a plyometric program, you must assess your previous training experience, age, physical maturity, conditioning, flexibility and strength.
