Happy Monday All!

Hope you enjoyed the double digit temperatures here in Toronto this weekend and took advantage to get outside!

I’ve said it many times, but one of the keys to success with your Toronto personal trainers fitness program is to challenge muscles, and get outside of your comfort zone. Just going through the motions, or repeating the same exercises at the same weight from week to week will do absolutely nothing, zilch, nada for helping you realize your physique dreams.

Here at Evolution Fitness, our Toronto personal trainers are big on using progressive strength training programs that continually ask the body to adapt to a new workout. One of the ways we are so successful in doing that is by implementing “intensity techniques”.

Intensity techniques are like tricks that you can use to get the muscle to respond better and adapt.

Today I want to talk about – and show you – a little technique called “pre-exhaustion”. Don’t worry, it’s not as exhausting as it sounds, or at least, the fatigue you experience is very localized in the muscle!

Check out my video below, as it not only demonstrated this technique in action, but describes a complete Toronto personal trainers workout which you can use, at home or in your gym, to build muscle, rev up that metabolism and blast fat!

Pre-exhaustion: begin the workout for each muscle group with an isolation exercise (moving from one joint only). When you have properly isolated and fatigued the muscle with the first
exercise, you’ll then move on to a compound exercise (moving from more than one joint). In the compound exercise, other muscles will get involved that can assist the first muscle in doing more work, and help overload it even more.

A good example is the quads. You can start with a leg extension, in which you are only moving from the knee. Once the quads are fatigued from this, you will do a squat, which works not only the quads, but also the hamstrings and glutes. The assistance of these muscle groups allows the quad to continue working beyond what it could do on its own.

Here are some more of our favorite Toronto personal trainers exercise combinations:

Pullover/Barbell Row
Concentration Curl/Barbell Curl
Lying Tricep Extension/Dips
Seated Calf Raise/Standing Calf Raise
Rear Delt Fly/High Rows
