Revolutionize Your Workouts with Super Slow Training: The Exercise Institute Way
The Exercise Institute's specialty is helping busy individuals maximize their health and improve their quality of life. Our Super Slow Near Zero Momentum Strength Training program is the safest and most efficient way to condition the body. Research has shown using repetition speeds up to 20 seconds each and keeping constant tension load for 90-120 seconds per set until momentary failure is achieved, results in up to 59% better strength gains than traditional weight training.
This approach emphasizes developing muscular strength as the single most important component of our functional ability. Super Slow is the only one that addresses all 6 main health categories listed below:
Strength, endurance, and stamina
Cardiovascular efficiency
Enhanced flexibility
Bone density
Fat loss
Resistance to injury and illness
The response from high intensity exercise is systemic. It wouldn't make sense to have a strong muscle held together by a weak bone system, or fed by a weak cardiovascular system. Meaning, not only will your muscles adapt, but your body will adapt as a whole.
All of your exercise support is performed 1-on-1 under proper supervision in a private exercise area. Unlike many others in the industry, we invest heavily in appropriate exercise equipment to give you the most effective workout possible. Our Imagine Strength equipment is designed to fit any Age ,any Body, any Condition.
The Purpose of Exercise:
Exercise Institute's objective is to provide quality, scientific exercise programs in a safe, clinical, and caring environment. Our objective is your objective... RESULTS! We can provide better results in less time!
Proper strength circuit style exercise, or global metabolic strength and conditioning is a safe means to an end. Properly done, exercise can serve as a stimulus to the body. If that stimulus is intense, brief and infrequent enough it will trigger our bodies protective mechanisms in a positive way. Increasing our muscle mass and in turn help us live longer, stronger, leaner & injury free.
Requirement for Effective Exercise:
Sufficient Stimulation
Sufficient Recovery
Why only 2x per week?
If your muscles are properly stimulated during your workout, your body needs time to recover. This recovery phase typically takes 48-96 hours. During this time, your body will produce lean tissue, and gain strength in order to adapt to the stimulus. Once you have recovered, it is time for your next workout.
How it works: Your first exercise session will stimulate your muscles to grow, however it will leave you temporarily weaker. Then comes the recovery period (48-72hrs). If you are properly recovered, you will be stronger for your second session (supercompensation 1 peak). After you have stimulated your muscles again during your second exercise session, you will be temporarily weaker and will require a second recovery period (48-72hrs). Afterwards you will come back stronger again (supercompensation 2 peak), this will be the time for your third exercise session. This cycle will continue on as long as you continue to train.
