Dear Professionals,
If the above sounds like you, then it’s high time to take a cold hard look at your current lifestyle. Health is something we should not be taken granted for, especially when you are working in a highly-stressed environment. Lifestyle conditions like high blood pressure, overweight, high blood cholesterol, if left unattended, can lead to serious chronic diseases.
The good news is, these conditions can actually be prevented and reversed though a proper exercise regimen and simple dietary program. The question is: are you doing it? You may cite ‘no time’ as the reason (should we say ‘excuse’?) but in reality, to get fit and stay healthy (with the exception of those very overweight) does not require more than 45 mins of 3 days a week of training nor eat a perfect diet. The key is to do it correctly.
Most workout routines take too long to complete. Fitness Tutor is a fitness consulting firm dedicated to help busy professionals get in shape in minimum time and without spending long hours working out in the gym. Their Body-Transformation-Programs and Health-Transformation-Programs are all based on their ‘Natural Kinetic Exercises’ and Eat-On-Demand’ Strategies. For nearly a decade, FT has helped hundreds of busy professionals (whom many are busy lawyers, medical specialists, accountants, consultants, CEOs and bankers) to transform their bodies and health.
Natural Kinetic Exercises (NKE) are based on the concept of synergism, where the whole is greater than the sum of parts. They are actually exercises done mainly with free weights (dumbbells and barbells), your own bodyweight, simple tools like sandbags and limit the use of machines. Reasons? Training on machines exclusively is a non-functional way of exercising and is actually bad for your body in the long run. This is because our muscles and joints are forced to move in a fixed predicted 2-D plane and is restricted in range of motion. But if you were to look at our body carefully, it is actually designed to move in a magnitude of planes and wide range-of-motions. So why exercise in a way that is neither natural nor functional? Exercising in the confined situation will make you strong in that particular movement but leave you weak in the other areas and leave you more susceptible to injuries when you do normal activities.
A good example of NKE is the pushup exercise. Can you recall the feelings you got when you did a few rounds of pushups - the burning sensations felt in the various muscles (chest, arms, shoulders and abdominal) and how the heart is racing and your catching for air? Pushups and many NKE call for more muscles involvement and are beneficial in many other ways. They burn more calories, work the stabilising muscles and connective tissues, flexibility, cardiovascular system and are fun to do. In a nutshell, NKE do much more in less time. If you have watched the movie ‘300’ and admire the physiques of the warriors, you would be surprised that they never used a typical gym machine to build their bodies and their exercises are similar to NKE. Through doing NKE, guys get rugged built and ladies achieve feminine bodies.
Eat-On-Demand (EOD) is a simple and a highly effective way of management weight through clever carbohydrates and nutrients manipulations, based on your daily activities and requirements. Many busy professionals eat a disproportionate of food daily. Yet some don’t eat much. Both are making a big mistake. The former will pile on weight rapidly because excess intake is not burned. The latter is not getting enough to fuel for even normal activities. Instead of trying to severely cutting down calories or trying to count them and measuring portion sizes, EOD teaches you how to easily select food types and their quantity to match the amount physical activities that are coming up on the day.
