TIPS & THE LATEST INFORMATION ON STRENGTH TRAINING FROM NEW ELEMENT TRAINING FOUNDER ANDREI YAKOVENKO
Why New Element Training Provides an Ideal Gym Workout
For me, and for many of our long-term clients, the New Element Training approach has transformed the way we approach fitness and keeping healthy generally – physically, certainly, but even mentally. Explaining it properly takes more than a soundbite!
Hopefully, Global TV will invite me back for a longer segment and I can structure the explanation along the following lines:
The Problem: Not Enough Time to Exercise
The Solution: An Ultra-Efficient Form of Strength Training. “Work by scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and other institutions shows that even a few minutes of training at an intensity approaching your maximum capacity produces molecular changes within muscles comparable to those of several hours of running or bike-riding.” [Gretchen Reynolds, New York Times]
The NET Approach to Strength Training
The question then became, why isn’t this exercise method more widely known and practiced? A common reason people give for not exercising is lack of time. This approach takes almost no ‘gym’ time by conventional standards and produces exceptional results.
How much protein do you need to optimize strength training results?
“Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged resistance training [strength training] in healthy adults.”
Goals set the direction, but the focus is on the journey.
Our philosophy at New Element Training is that the process of moving towards your vision is more important than the actual goal. If you value your final goal over the process of achieving it, you will feel frustration, anxiety or even anger at every setback. The resulting stress will diminish the quality of what you are doing, and you may feel frustrated enough to give up your exercise routine altogether.
