Why do you think so many people fail when they try to get in shape or lose weight?

Innovative Results has developed their 5 Aspects of Fitness plan that allows clients to increase their chances of success.  It addresses all five aspects that affect someone’s ability to get in shape and stay in shape.  These are time tested practices that the world’s top athletes and competitors use to get in incredible shape!

Innovative Results 5 Aspects of Fitness

1.  Mental Fitness – This is commonly skipped, but is the #1 factor that will determine your level of success.  Knowing specifically what you are striving toward, why you are doing it and when it will be completed are incredibly important.  It allows you to determine where you are, where you want to go and how you are going to get there, so that when challenges arise, you are not sidetracked by the obstacles….and its not a matter of if you will be challenged, but when.  So make sure your goals are clear!  .  Check out this article to help get your goals dialed in.

2.  Nutritional Success – These days it seems like there is a new diet plan coming out every week.  Eat this, don’t eat that… How do you know how whats healthy and whats not?  Unfortunately, marketing has confused us all.  Innovative Results truly believes that healthy eating does not need to be complicated.  It is really very simple.  Here is our cardinal rule:  If God made it, eat it.  If it occurs in nature and hasn’t been altered by man, then it is good, healthy and safe.  It is really very simple.  Whole, natural foods provide everything we need and processed, manufactured foods do more damage than good.  Here are a few helpful sheets that can help you learn more and apply healthy eating habits into your life.  Drink plenty of Water,  Five Worst Foods, Healthy Shopping List, and track eating habits with our Food Log.

3. Exercise progress – The foundation of exercise is movement.  Everybody squats, lunges, pushes, pulls, bends, twists and walks.  That’s it, simple.  All the rest of the variables (what exercises/drills, how much, how often, how intense) depend on your ability level and specific goals.  One key point is to continuously challenge your body, keep it guessing and force it to change and adapt.   People’s biggest mistake is doing the same exercises every week, every year and then wondering why their bodies havent changed.  Our bodies adapt quickly, so it is important to challenge yourself with new routines every 3-6 weeks.  Work hard, mix it up and reap the rewards! More exercise articles here.

4. Increased Recovery – Most people live in front of a computer, driving a car or sitting in front of the TV.  So, when you start to move, you are going to have some soreness and minor aches.  If you are a more seasoned athlete, then you will need to learn recovery techniques to speed recovery and improve performance.  Some simple recovery techniques include proper warm up (preventative), corrective exercise, ice, massage, self myo-fascial release, contrast showers, time off, and proper nutrition.  Utilizing these techniques helps people progress faster than they ever thought possible.   Download our Recovery Techniques here.

5. Guidance and Accountability – There are very few people who can set a goal, execute and stay on track by themselves.  When you start a program it is important to get good advise and to have a support group that is dedicated to your success.  Most of us can be lazy, lose focus, and come up with a variety of excuses to stop, postpone or procrastinate.  A good trainer, coach or workout partner is there to hold you accountable to the goals that you have set.

So there you have it.  5 Proven techniques that are vital for any fitness plan.

We hope this helps you develop your foundation and makes this year your best ever!

Just Visualize Success, Right? WRONG!

Although visualizing success is important. It is not the end all. Actually, according to studies done at UCLA “outcome simulation” (visualizing your success) was put against “event-simulation” (visualizing the process it takes to reach success). In almost every aspect the event simulation beat out the outcome simulation.

What does this mean for you and your goals?

What does this mean for Innovative Results and some of its methods of getting their clients to become success stories?

Great question!

You must go counter-culture! Don’t follow the crowds(cattle) as they herd into intention-based secrets to fast success…That is marketing quicksand setting you up for “feelings” of winning, conquering, wealth, and fame as you go down in a flame of glory! The plan and the action is more important, and always has been. Pop-psychology is no match for the tried and true. This is where Innovative Results lives.

Innovative Results is innovative because we go against the norm and find real answers and real solutions to the problem. We scour the land for real people with real stories, and help them on their path to a real success story! Now, I would be lying if I don’t use visualizing success to help motivate me, and I would be lying if I said I never bought into the pop-culture plan to financial freedom and stardom beyond compare. I did…

Hook. Line. Sinker.

Now, I use the visualiatzion of success to give me a goal and motivate me from time to time, but my focus lies in the present. Enjoying the moment if you will, and I will. I will go through real scenarios in my head that may be problematic to my future goals and success. I perform “event-simulation” to come up with and/or go over solutions to my problem. That way when I am faced with the issues, I can combat them with some kind of experience (even if it is mental experience).

This event-simulation method can help with food addiction problems, emotional-eating situations, parties with alcohol, and the list goes on…real problems, now have real solutions, instead of fantasies of skinnyness without changing the reason for the lack of skinnyness in the first place.

Enjoy health and enjoy life…in the present!

After The Biggest Loser…What Happened to Andrea?

Let me start by saying that I am a really good girl with a lot of bad habits.

I might be a trainer’s worst nightmare.

I have way too much knowledge and an amazing gift to manipulate the majority of situations.  Most trainers I have worked with after 10 minutes are totally distracted by my gift of gab that they forget their working. It always ends up the same way with me running the show.

I need someone to keep me on my toes and peak my interest.  I have to be held accountable for my everyday nonsense. I want to be pushed to my limits and see my full potential.  Fresh ideas and constant change keep me from getting bored.

Since leaving the show I can honestly say the only trainer who has met those standards is Corey Beasley from Innovative Results.  I stand behind good people who show results and I will only put my name on something I truly believe in. I see a great deal of passion in my trainer and friend Corey as well as Innovative Results.  I have been to countless gyms both private and corporate and have worked with several trainers in the last few years. I am NEVER usually impressed but this gym was different. I feel very comfortable going there and it’s an environment where you can truly feel the positive energy.

These are good people who take a genuine interest in their client’s everyday. Whether its diet, nutrition, strength training, rehabilitation or just healthy living you will find it with Innovative Results. It has helped me stay focused and maintain a healthy balance both physically and mentally.

How Did Chris Get That Six Pack?

I live in Irvine and met Corey Beasley, owner of Innovative Results, at a business networking event. Coincidentally we lived in the same neighborhood.

I am a graphic designer and typically spend 6-12 hours per day in front of the computer. I had just finished up a 3 month boot camp that got me in cardio shape, but now I wanted to build muscle because I was just cast in a musical called the “Full Monty” .  If you know the story, you’d realize that I would be spending much of my time in a pair of boxers. That alone is a pretty good motivation to get the the gym, but I only had 3 months to develop a show stopping physique! Corey and I were up to the challenge!

Wii Fit workout’s a wee bit weak

These days we’re seeing a lot of buzz around Wii fit and other gaming systems, but are they as good as they claim?

A study conducted for the San Diego-based American Council on Exercise concluded that the benefits of working out with the popular Nintendo video-game software were “very, very mild,” and that caloric expenditure paled compared with actual activities, like running, boxing and aerobics.

Studies show that the video game workouts do not add up to traditional workout plans.  Read more about the study here.  In my opinion, I think the gaming systems are improving and making people start to move, instead of sitting on the couch all day.

Better than nothing…

Think you’re gonna build the body of your dreams?

Think again!

Wii Fit doesn’t replace regular exercise or participation in a sport.  You miss out on hand eye coordination, body awareness, intensity and other factors that are vital to improving your bodies performance and function.

My suggestion: put the controller down and go outside!

Wanna learn how to golf? Then go play golf.

Wanna learn about boxing? Then go to a gym and punch your friends in the face.

Wanna workout? Go to the gym!

Want to lose that belly? Stop eating cheetos!

Technology has made most people lazy, fat and immobile.

Do yourself a favor and get out of the house.   There is no real replacement for good ol’ fashioned exercise.

Get out there and get moving!

Full Body Fitness Routine-An Effective Workout for Lean and Toned Muscle

Bored and tired of the same-old thing? This routine is a new and fast workout to ensure you achieve lean and toned muscle. If you are looking for traditional workouts, you are in the wrong place, but if you are looking for Innovative Results Fitness-Here it is:

This workout is comprised of 16 different exercises to blast your body into shape quick! Be forewarned! You should be consulting with a physician prior to any changes in your activity level, nutrition, or attitude. This workout has to start with a determined attitude to burn fat and build lean muscle. Got it? Perfect!

It will start with dumbbells light enough for a good warm-up. Just like the video shows, you will be doing Alternating swingers, Jigsaws, and Pivotals with as little rest as possible. Repeat this for 3 sets, 10-30 seconds each exercise. Now perform 5 minutes of jogging to finalize your warm-up.

It is time to kick it up a notch! You will do this by busting out 10 Dumbbell Push-ups, 10 Dumbbel Plank rows and skipping for 100 yard/meters! 3-5 sets of this workout piece will give your body the push it needs to create those lean and toned muscles.

Now a full body blasting circuit to really get the engine hot. 10 Balancing lateral bounds, 5 burpies, and 5 Ninja Roll-ups 3 times to ramp up your metabolism and create an appreciation for oxygen.

This part is a speed and stamina circuit with jump rope, suicides, more jump rope, and 100 yard run for a 3-peat (do it 3 times), sending your metabolism on a search and destroy mission with fat as the target!

The last bit comes compliments of the bear, crab, spider, and duck. This animal circuit, if performed 3 times or even once will annihilate more calories than you may be prepared to lose! 10 yard bear crawl, crabwalk, spider crawls, and duck walks, sil vous plait. That is french for it is really going to kill calories or please…
