Weight control is something that many people are concerned with these days, and rightly so; excess weight can put you at a higher risk for a number of health problems. Studies have show that the most effective and healthiest way to loss weight is with a combination of diet and exercise. There are many reasons for this, first and foremost being that exercise not only burns extra calories, it will also help you build more muscle. The more muscle you have the more calories your body will use even while you're sleeping!
The workouts at PTI may even help you lose more weight than you could with many other fitness programs. For years PTI trainers have been structuring workouts where a slower paced resistance exercise is followed by a short, fast burst of movement. This is known as interval training, and has been used by athletes to improve their performance since the early 1900's. But new research has shown that interval training can also be used to speed up weight loss. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that both cardiovascular fitness and fat burning potential were elevated in women who completed interval training as apposed to steady state exercise. Given both the results we've seen with our clients and the mounting scientific evidence, we firmly believe that when coupled with a healthy diet, the type of fitness programming you'll receive at PTI is a superior way to help you reach your weight loss goals.
