5. Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™ Will Help You Stick To Your Routine:

The longer you are able to adhere to a health and fitness regime, the more you will benefit from it. With a time commitment of no more than 10 minutes 3 times a week, Naturally Intense™ is the only system realistically designed for the time constraints of modern life. Over 40% of people that join a gym will never go more than a couple of times, as among other things, finding the time to train is just too hard. My system works on the principle that you get better results from training less. During a workout you are in essence tearing down your muscles and it is the repair process that is responsible for the changes that you want to see in your body in terms of increased strength, muscle mass and tone.

Keeping that in mind, it is important that you always rest for more days than you train so you’ll never be in the gym for more than 3 days a week! Our average client stays with us for a year or more, and the time factor along with the results are major reasons for our unprecedented retention rate. I also am of the point of view that you really can’t be healthy if you are spending countless hours of your life in a gym or exercising day in and day out. Naturally Intense™ is a tool that you use to go out and enjoy life, and with such a small time commitment, that is exactly what you will do.

6. Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™ Will Strengthen Your Heart, Build Endurance and Lower Your Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease:

It has erroneously thought for several years that aerobics are the only heart friendly exercise, however recent studies have proven what we in the trenches have known all along- weight training does indeed help strengthen your heart, vascular system and the your respiratory system to help increase your endurance and fight against the negative effects of cardiovascular disease.

7. Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™ Will Promote Joint Stability & Lessen Your Risk Of Injury:

The weight training workouts of the Naturally Intense™ System will increases the strength of all your connective tissue making you less susceptible to injury. Unlike aerobic repetitive movements such as running, walking on a treadmill or using a Stairmaster, that will bring about repetitive stress injuries over time, and conventional training systems that call for the same set of exercises over and over, the Naturally Intense™ System uses an almost infinite number of different exercises and ways to work your muscles- with a totally different workout every time. The result- your muscles keep responding and you never develop overuse injuries from doing the same motion over and over.

8. Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™ Will Improve Your Core Strength:

While so much emphasis is placed on ‘core’ specific exercises involving everything from balance balls to specialized classes, the only time tested method of strengthening your back and abdominal muscles to the point that you can lift a car comes from weight training. You can do all the fancy exercises and you’ll still never develop the kind of core strength that you’ll get from the compound movements that form the bulk of the Naturally Intense™ System (and you’ll never lift a car either).

Each movement (I call them ‘movements’ not exercises since the word movement better describes what I have people do) recruits your back and abdominal muscles and works to develop them to their fullest potential. Developing strong abdominal and back muscles will give you better posture and reduce the chance of back pain and injury.

9. The Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™ Will Improve Your Balance, Coordination, Flexibility and Agility:

As a martial arts teacher and lifetime student, balance, coordination and agility were important elements for me in the development of the Naturally Intense™ System, as it was as important for me to be able to be flexible and agile as it was for me to increase my muscle mass. To that end the hue variety of ever changing movements forces you to work your muscles from every conceivable angle in a safe and controlled fashion, thus helping increase your balance and coordination and slowly increasing your overall flexibility as you move in ways you never moved before. As a result all your movements in daily life become far easier and safer as the body has an improved capability of control.

10. The Naturally Intense System of Diet And Exercise™Will Help You With Your Stress Management:

There is perhaps nothing more stress relieving than the 10 minute workouts of the Naturally Intense™ System that take you to the peak of your performance envelope! Life becomes far more enjoyable and difficult times more bearable when you have a positive outlet for stress and the mood stabilizing effects of eating right will also go a long way in reducing your overall tension.
