During a workout session, if a client is not feeling the muscles being worked with the various forms of exercise equipment available, we step back from the apparatus and I teach them how to isometrically and actively contract the particular muscles they are having problems feeling.

We do this methodically and sensibly:
I begin by demonstrating the particular Powerpose® (there are more than 20 in total), that will target the specific bodypart(s) the client is having difficulty feeling.

I have them follow my movement patterns and in so doing, instruct them to pay special attention to the specific muscles being worked, while maintaining perfect form and stabilizing their core.

We perform at least 12 - 20 repetitions (or however many it takes to make it burn!) on each side, slowly and gracefully, working through the pose connecting mind to muscle. This allows the muscles to be pre-exhausted (i.e. pumped), so when we do get back on the equipment and perform the exercise again, they can feel it so much more.

The immediate result is a greater muscle to mind connection this time. The muscles are so stimulated that they send clear messages back to the brain saying “Hey, I’m feeling the burn now, more than ever”.

If you are having problems ‘really feeling’ a bodypart being worked, you are most definetly short changing yourself and missing out on greater advancements for fat loss, muscle definition, core power and overall total body balance.

In addition to group class sessions (schedule to be posted within the next week), I can also work with you privately, making your workouts more productive, efficient and results driven, through Powerpose between sets.
