We are the areas only ‘Women’s
Health Club’ that addresses the new silent killer in
women, Osteoporosis, by providing an assortment of state of the art
weight-bearing equipment. As owners and certified personal trainers
we show you the proper use of the equipment, in a non-threatening
environment. Studies show that there are four steps to reduce or prevent osteoporosis. No one step alone is enough to prevent osteoporosis, but all four may. With lifestyle modifications which includes, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, no smoking and limited alcohol intake, bone density testing and preventative medication when appropriate, and weight-bearing exercise women can fight back. An effective resistance training program for both bone and muscle must contain a weight-bearing program and should be done at least two days per week, performing one set of 8 to 10 exercises that challenge the major muscle groups. Certainly, water based and hydraulic-based exercises are beneficial to the cardiovascular system, but weight-bearing activities remains the only means to actually increase new bone formation in mature skeleton. Even walking and running do not represent enough of a load challenge, to signal an increase in bone mass. Weight loss management is an additional benefit to lean muscle tissue which is partly responsible for the number of calories burned at rest, making it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. By incorporating strength training into your activity program, as well as following a moderate diet, you’ll be able to maintain lean muscle mass while you lose fat. There also appears to be an association between lean muscle mass and bone mass, whereby individuals with the highest amount of muscle also tend to have the highest bone density. Interval training that provides both an aerobic and muscle endurance program has been shown to have greater success in weight loss, and maintaining that weight loss by reducing body fat and preventing lean muscle tissue. Lean muscle tissue increases (BMR) resting metabolism. Ladies Fitness Zone has the areas only interval training equipment that is adjustable to five levels of resistance, which reduces the likelihood of early adaptation to your training program. The human body becomes accustom to the demands make upon it and must be safely challenged in order to continue desired results. Ladies Fitness Zone will custom design a program that will be both time efficient and challenging and include group fitness, weight training, self defense, boot camp classes.
