At Strength Studio of Idaho, we understand that the most common reason for not working out is lack of time.
Simply put, people want to get more done in less time. However, it’s hard to get the results you want without spending hours in the gym. That’s why it’s important to understand the differences between a normal gym workout vs our workout.
Super slow strength training is a high-intensity workout without the speed of a normal gym workout. Instead of lifting standard weights and doing cardio exercises, you work out for 20 minutes on medical grade equipment specifically designed for the super slow protocol, repeating two 10-second intense movements with no rest in between.
With slow repetitions, you force your muscles to work harder. This supercharges your metabolism and increases cardiovascular endurance, making you stronger and leaner while reducing health problems such as obesity, osteoporosis, and chronic pain.
A Normal Gym Workout
Lifting weights, running on a treadmill, and cycling are all examples of a standard gym workout. Combined they focus on cardio and large muscle group movements. While a normal gym workout may provide you with a slightly higher calorie burn at first, you’ll actually end up burning more calories through lean muscle gains with super slow strength training. This, in turn, eliminates the need of having to spend hours in the gym each week.
No Risk Of Injury
It’s important to consider the risk of injury when you compare super slow strength training to a normal gym workout. Common workout injuries often include things like a strained back or shoulders, leg or knee injuries, pulled muscles, and torn hamstrings due to poor form and jerky, erratic movements.
With super slow strength training, however, you will allow your muscles more time to adjust, actively preventing you from harming your joints or suffering from repetitive use injuries. This makes it the ideal workout for virtually anyone, regardless of age, strength or fitness level.
