Here’s the Truth. Real Training is Strength Training.

October 12, 2010

There is something that really needs to be settled.
And that’s that the only reason to weight lift, or workout, is for strength. Period.
If you’re working out to “put on size”, you’re wasting your time. Here’s why:

1) You will actually look better when you train for strength, on top of being stronger.
2) Being obsessed with mass alone is an unhealthy addiction. There’s no reasoning behind it. I mean seriously – how big do people who train for mass want to get, and what’s the point?
You Can Continually Gain Strength Without Gaining Size…
Another big mistake people make is thinking that size is necessary, or even correlates to strength. Muscle can constantly be improved on to get stronger, tendons and ligaments can strength, and even bones get stronger. Muscle is NOT the only factor in the strength of a person.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
