Trainer Notes: Week One

Jason had a great week. He has shown up earlier than needed every day of the week. He is coming in with a great attitude and has left with giving it his all in very workout. The strategy behind the week was to have him do 4 days of 40 mins of resistance training with 20 mins of prescribed cardiovascular exercise and 2 days of cardio without resistance training. The type of resistance training program that he is going through is what we call an anatomical adaptation program. In other words it is a very basic routine with simple movements. The intent of the program is to work on the basics of proper form and technique while we get his body use to the demands of resistance training. By using ground level progression, we will be keeping him safe from injury and we will keep practicing these movements until they are mastered before we move on to the next level of progression. In order to prevent injury we are having Jason do a 5-10 minute warm up on the cardiovascular machines and doing a 5-10 min stretching routine before we start working out to make sure the muscles are ready to start the workout. To maximize his result potential form the resistance training we are having Jason use a quality after workout shake that is designed by Shaklee. By doing this he will be limiting the potential muscle soreness that is commonly felt after resistance training and will make sure he is maximizing the lean muscle gains that we are trying to accomplish which will improve his metabolism.
