Sedentary behavior, a risk factor for numerous diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or neurodegenerative disorders, is the largest public health problem of the twenty-first century. A valid tool to combat it and safeguard health is continuous physical activity.
Strength training is essential for living better and longer
 To maintain cardiovascular well-being and overall physical condition, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends for adults a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 70 minutes of “vigorous” activity per week combined with two hours of muscle work, that is, resistance training (overloads).
Despite many health organizations emphasizing the need to move more, the number of sedentary people remains high. In Italy, for example, according to the latest statistics, only slightly more than a third of the adult population aged between thirty and sixty reaches the minimum levels of physical exercise recommended by the WHO.
However, to achieve excellent results in a shorter time, to conquer an excellent physical shape, that is, a resilient, performing, and healthy body, without spending hours and hours every day in the gym, the perfect solution is to train the strength of the whole body dynamically.
According to current scientific evidence, the best physical shape, health, and longevity goals require training the human body as a system, with chain kinetic exercises, and not as disconnected single muscles. The most natural way to do this is in an upright position.
When global strength training is performed dynamically, that is in a circuit, the results increase even more. Inspired by scientific research and new market needs, TECA has developed Switching, the first dynamic strength circuit with a full-body training with functional and multi-joint exercises in a standing position.
Switching: the isotonic circuit to train dynamic strength standingÂ
This revolutionary circuit training system, in an upright position, on safe and easy-to-use isotonic machines, allows you to tone your entire body, increase strength and endurance, reduce body fat, improve posture and balance, all in just over an hour a week, in a motivating environment, with others who have similar goals and needs.
Despite the short duration of a session, which can vary from 20 to 40 minutes, with only three Switching workouts per week, anyone can achieve the same results as six or more workouts between weight training and traditional aerobics. Scientific research confirms that the results are rapid and lasting.
The Switching circuit allows you to alternate work with overloads, on the machines, and cardiovascular work in the same session, significantly increasing the caloric expenditure during and post-workout. The increase in energy expenditure is due to the standing exercise with overloads combined with circuit work, and the results are multiple.
The circuit training in an upright position, the result of years of research on movement say, is the training system that best respects the physiology of the human body. The ability to modulate loads and ease of use make Switching a training system adaptable to any age, physical condition, or need. Ease, safety, effectiveness, customization, motivation: these are just some of the reasons that convinced more than two million people across Europe exercise with Switching every day.
