R2 Total Fitness Awarded the #1 Fitness in Towne Lake! Come see what makes us different. The PHIIT System is designed to make you an efficient Fat Burning Machine.

The body uses two energy expenditure systems to create fuel from stored fat in order to complete all bodily activities or movements. The Aerobic System: Activates after 3-5 minutes of constant movement or activity. The Anaerobic System: Activates immediately for as long as 3 minutes and is only used for short, explosive movements or activities. Here is how these concepts are strategically applie

d in the PHIIT system…

Our workouts switch from an aerobic cardiovascular exercise to an anaerobic resistance exercise every 3 minutes with 1 minute for transition; keeping the body from choosing the energy expenditure system it’s going to use. This confusion forces the body to burn more calories, a process explained by a science known as the “ZIG-ZAG” theory. PHIIT workouts are structured around this "ZIG-ZAG" principal. The activity of switching back and forth from an aerobic cardiovascular system to an anaerobic system is what increases the fat expenditure of the body by more than 500% and continues to burn calories well after the actual exercise is completed. You simply burn more calories in a PHIIT workout than any other program available today.

Don't be fooled by fad diets, cookie cutter exercise programs, Apps, and most of all "influencers". The modern health and wellness space is litered with false, misleading and "sales" based information over real results. There is a reason the foundation of it all is simple they just want to make it complicated.

#1 - Lift weights and progressively increase the amount of weight, sets, reps = "OVERLOAD" over time.

When you do this 3-6 days per week and build a disciplined habit than you will see results. Guaranteed

Movement and physical activity play a significant role in preventing and mitigating mental health issues by influencing brain chemistry, reducing stress, and fostering social connections. Regular exercise, even in short bursts, can improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and enhance cognitive function.

Here's a more detailed look at how movement helps:

1. Mood Regulation and Stress Reduction:
Endorphin Release:
Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, natural mood boosters that can relieve pain and create feelings of well-being.
Reduced Stress Hormones:

Physical activity can lower levels of stress hormones like cortisol, helping to regulate the body's stress response.
Improved Sleep:
Regular exercise can improve sleep quality, which is crucial for mental health. Good sleep helps regulate mood and cognitive function.

Breaking the Cycle:
Movement can act as a distraction from negative thoughts and provide a sense of control, breaking negative thought patterns associated with mental health conditions.

2. Social Connection and Support:

Group Activities:
Participating in group exercise classes or team sports can foster social connections and provide a sense of community, combating loneliness and isolation.

Support Networks:
Exercising with others can create opportunities for social support and encouragement, which are important for mental well-being.

Did you know that 90% of people give up before results become noticeable? Studies show this is largely due to our need for immediate gratification.

When we engage in activities that provide instant rewards, our brains release dopamine, reinforcing the behavior and creating a cycle of constantly seeking more of the same.

We challenge you to start exercising—lift heavier than you're used to—and make it a lifestyle, not a chore. Let go of the need for instant results, and you'll start to see long-lasting improvements in your health and physique.

Get your dopamine hit from the sense of accomplishment. Train in short, intense bursts and watch the results fall into place.

Start today!

Commit to 30 minutes per day.
Do something different.

If you've been doing the same things and seeing little to no results, it's definitely time to mix it up.

All too often, we quit right when everything is about to change. If there is one key to all fitness, wellness, and nutrition guidance, that key is: consistency.

Right when we're on the verge of real progress—when the body is ready to change, the weight is about to drop, and the muscles are finally starting to show—we stop and throw our hands up. “It isn’t working!”

One step at a time. One consistent, positive behavioral change. One day at a time.
It takes discipline, but when you stick to it... the rest falls into place.

Training Tip! "TEMPO"

- A simple adjustment to your routine can come with a focus on the speed you are performing the exercises without adding weight. (tempo)

Generally, people wll exercise with a 1-to-1 tempo, meaning they will grab the weight and do 10-15 reps. 1 second up 1 second down.

Now, let's make the same weight feel that much "heavier" by slowing down both directions.

Try a 2 or even 3 count. The total amount of reps may shorten, but that's ok, you've made a progressive change to the weight and now your body/nervous system have to adapt.

If you are doing the same things you did in your 20's and thirties, you need to reevaluate.  Some of those same tools an...

If you are doing the same things you did in your 20's and thirties, you need to reevaluate. Some of those same tools and techniques are hindering your success and some are helping. But which ones?

- Hormones Change, Eating habits may have gone off the rails, Stress, Lack of sleep, etc...

Men tend to stick to old "High School" training methodologies that "may" have served a purpose at the time, but at those times heavily rely on Genetics and Youth for recovery. Strength Training is the key, but you have to change how you're doing it.

Ladies tend to lean on Cardio/Aerobic workouts for all the same reasons. It's what they learned. That too, must change. Strength Training!

If you have been struggling with weight, mental mindset, goals, a guided direction in your health and wellness journey. We are your resource. We've been in your shoes and done the work to share the keys.

Takeaway = Weight/Strength Training is the foundation of it all. But what do you do? and How?

We are all built differently, Unique. The cookie cutter apps, workouts, influencers, and pros all fall short. YOU simply need a plan that's customized to you for you.

You cant wish hope, or sit back and wait, you have to go after it. This comes in all forms and the most effective is to create positive and manageable habits. It all begins with discipline to do the hard things and these hard thingsa become easy.

- You want to change how you feel?
- You want to change how you show up in your life?
- You want to change so so many things?

Wll, choose one thing today you can do NOT tomorrow, but TODAY! That one thing done, repeated daily, becomes a habit and now a part of your lifestyle.

Pick one health meal to cook at home....Pick a time to exercise....pick a behavior that hasnt served you and replace it with one that could change EVERYTHING.

You've got this!
