At Total Health & Fitness we pride ourselves on teaching our clients how to get the correct fitness results through the five components of fitness.
The five components of fitness are based on the laws of human physiology and are a collective formula designed to meet any fitness goal(s). Individualizing the 5 components will allow you to achieve your goal safely and effectively while performing the least or optimal amount of exercise and consuming the greatest optimal amount and type of food.
Fitness Component One: Food Intake
Food intake is the amount and type of food an individual consumes. Food is our energy intake (calories) and nutrient intake (vitamins and minerals). The type and amount of food will affect satiety (feeling full) and performance.
Fitness Component Two: Cardiorespiratory Training
Cardiorespiratory training mobilizes stored fat, increases calorie or energy expenditure, benefits health, and aids in or determines performance.
Fitness Component Three: Food Supplementation
Supplementation satisfies the above-maintenance level of nutrients needed by the body from the addition of exercise, possible calorie restriction, and food preference realities. Food supplementation creates the ideal environment to realize optimal health and hasten results.
Fitness Component Four: Resistance Training
Resistance training creates the need to preserve and/or increase lean muscle tissue and strength which is vital to long-term health, movement and the attainment of fitness goals. This can only be accomplished if all nutrients (from food supplements) and calories (from food and/or body fat).
Fitness Component Five: Personal Assistance
Individualizing the above four components and making the necessary adjustments can allow anyone to reach their fitness goal(s) in a manner that is most realistic. As an integrated system a fitness professional can supply all the information necessary for an individual to not only continue on their own but to become their own fitness professional.
