The first results can already be seen after 30′. How is this possible? It has everything to do with strength.
We are getting fatter and out of shape. Although losing weight is the most desired goal, the training methods offered in gyms today fail to eliminate the extra kilos. But this is not the case with the metabolic gym, a model of fitness club that achieves superior results in terms of slimming and toning. Here’s why.
According to ISTAT data, one in five Italians is overweight and one in ten is obese. In all, more than twenty-three million people need to lose fat and to preserve good muscle tone, essential for a fit physique. The numbers are constantly increasing, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of the training solutions proposed so far.
What is the secret to a toned and lean physique? Those who need to lose weight or increase muscle tone may come to think that the solution is to spend endless hours in the gym, every day. Or following a very strict diet that leaves no room for social pleasures. Nothing could be further from the truth.
All you need to do to lose weight and tone up is to train smartly, taking advantage of the most effective training methods, capable of triggering a fat-burning effect not during physical activity, but in the hours afterwards. How? The answer comes from science and is found in an acronym: EPOC.
Why can EPOC become the best ally in fat loss and which activities are the most effective? To understand the EPOC concept, let’s start with the basics.
Exercise activates a cascade of metabolic and hormonal events. To restore all these parameters to their basal levels at the end of exercise, the body requires significant amounts of oxygen.
This extra oxygen consumption is called EPOC (short for Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption) and among its most important effects are
– increased metabolism
– more effective use of the fatty acids that are released from fat tissue into the blood stream to be used for energy. Thanks to EPOC, the body will utilise more fat storage for several hours after training.
EPOC levels are directly influenced by the intensity and duration of exercise and the effects can last from a few minutes up to 48-72 hours. Furthermore, the calories consumed during this period come mainly from lipids and thus from the fat reserves we want to get rid of.
The Teca Metabolic Gym:
1. Is based on a unique mix of activities (strength, core and functional training) that increase the effectiveness of training
2. Allows circuit strength training on isotonic machines in a standing position, with maximum muscle involvement and the highest energy expenditure (over a thousand calories per hour + maximum Epoc levels) for fast, effective weight loss
3. Combines the benefits of anaerobic and aerobic activity in the same session. The benefits? More muscle tone and a better physical appearance.
4. It is suitable for everyone at any fitness level because the upright strength equipment guides the user for a natural, safe and effective exercise.
