Slower
Is Safer
SuperSlow® is a very
effective and popular technique used these days.
Many celebrities,
actors, and models are using this
technique as a way to build muscle quickly.
SuperSlow®
can build 50%
more muscle in 10 weeks than regular weightlifting. The idea of
SuperSlow®
is to bring the
muscles to exhaustion.
Ken Hutchins (SuperSlow®
founder) says:
"We train your muscles by putting a weight load on them so that the muscle goes
from the fresh strength that you start with to where, after several reps, it is
reduced to the point where you can't move the weight.
When done properly the muscles
fail usually within two or three minutes. The super-slow method targets the body's
major muscles, called skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are
the body's engine. They produce more heat, consume more calories, and receive
more blood flow than any of the body's other muscles."
A SuperSlow®
workout offers
a variety of rewards, according to Hutchins. Slower is safer. Most
injuries are the result of poor form and forceful movements.
Final Thought
The
SuperSlow®
total body work out is great for the young and elderly. Women really
like this method, because it is safe, slow, and it gets them toned.
It is also a real big hit for the elderly as well, because no matter
how old you are, the SuperSlow®
total body work out is the safest and best way of toning the
muscles. It is also the only method recommended for people on
rehabilitation or with present or past injuries, and it will prevent
you from getting future injuries.
Many
studies have proven that with the SuperSlow®
method people have improvements in muscular strength and endurance,
body composition, glucose metabolism, coronary risk factors, bone
mineral density, and psychological well being. As a personal trainer
and fitness professional, it is enlightening to empower my elderly
clients that properly designed and supervised resistance training
programs can also improve their musculoskeletal health and range of
motion.
