My friend from High School

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

I just heard from a good friend from High School yesterday who has a dilemma that is very common. She basically asked - How can I motivate myself to get up earlier in the morning to exercise since i’m not a morning person and I have limited time? 

Well Sarah, I put together 3 ways in which you and other SCULPT fans, can boost your energy level and get moving in the early morning. 

1. Go to bed earlier!
Sleep is super important for someone who wants to start a proper exercise routine. So making up the night before for the time you’ll invest in the morning will pay off big time. You’ll have more energy for the early morning routine and you’ll recover faster from your workouts. 

2. Drink Coffee
Yes, coffee can help get you up and running. Recent studies have shown that drinking coffee an hour before your workout will help you train at greater intensities and burn more fat! Skip on the cream and sugar if you can. 

3. Go Hard and go home
High intensity workouts don’t have to be long. A 30 minute high intensity workout is enough to get you leaner, healthier and stronger. Back in the Shea High days we all could spend lots of time in the gym but now our workouts have to pack a punch so we get on with the rest of our day. 

Some people (like me) just aren’t morning people so this will be harder for some and easier for others. Keep in mind the best time to workout is the time you can make it! You can achieve extraordinary results training any time of the day or night as long as the intensity is right and proper nutrition and rest are part of your program! 

Thanks for the question, Sarah! It was great hearing from you.

Trainer’s Notes from June 11th 2009

Thursday, June 11, 2009

Helping the general population get leaner, healthier and stronger is a very rewarding objective. Nothing makes a trainer happier than to see a client improve their fitness level and reach their goals. This is specially true when we have the chance to help a client after a life altering event like a stroke.

As mentioned in the article featured on the SCULPT NEWSLETTER for June 11th 2009, a stroke can limit a client in many ways. The post stroke physical challenges can be overwhelming especially when compiled with emotional distress and depression common in victims. 

The good news is that exercise helps stroke victims take charge again. The positive affects of strength training help with mobility and coordination. Cardiovascular training will reduce the chances of further incidents and help maintain healthy weight. The stress relieving and the feeling of regaining freedom through more physical activity can be the fuel that leeds stroke victims to a path of recovery. Plus they get to make their trainer really proud.

Devoted to your health and fitness,
Andre Correa.

A NEW WAY TO PERSONAL TRAIN

Thursday, May 07, 2009

WORKSHOPS ARE HERE!

Starting on May 30th members of the SCULPT personal training membership program will be able to attend WORKSHOPS. This innovative way to do personal training was developed by Andre Correa, founder/CEO. Its main purpose is to continuously motivate members by providing them with program updates and new concepts that encompass nutrition, exercise and accountability.

WORKSHOPS are also a great way to keep track of your results. Members who attend WORKSHOPS will be able to get individually weighed and have their body fat analyzed. At SCULPT we believe that nothing motivates you more than seeing your own results. WORKSHOPS are a great way to do that!

WORKSHOPS will be held at the SCULPT Personal Training Studio located on 1525 Smith Street, North Providence RI 02911. Members will be able to get WORKSHOP scheduling online by visiting http://www.sculptfit.net, via email notification or by picking up the newest WORKSHOP schedule at the front desk of the studio.

Fatima Hospital Fitness and Wellness Program

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Now employees at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital have a brand new perk. On April 23rd SCULPT’s President and CEO, Andre Correa announced that SCULPT would start a fitness and wellness program at the Hospital. This is the first Fitness and Wellness program ever available at the North Providence Hospital.

The SCULPT FITNESS AND WELLNESS PROGRAM was the result of Correa’s and the Director of Human Resources Joseph D’Alessandro’s efforts to bring fitness into the work place for all Fatima Hospital employees. 

Correa thinks that this will be a new trend on local hospitals. “The Hospital work environment is unforgiving. Stress, poor diet and lack of proper rest can impact performance. I think other hospitals and business that depend on the performance of their staff will adopt this on-site approach to fitness” said Correa.

The SCULPT FITNESS AND WELLNESS PROGRAM is available today for a nominal fee and it will offer Fatima Hospital Employees many new benefits like Access to the SCULPT STUDIO, two introductory one-on-one personal training sessions, special pricing on the SCULPT retail store in addition to on-site fitness classes and WORKSHOPS.

The SCULPT PERSONAL TRAINING SYSTEM: DEFINED

Monday, April 27, 2009

Since its inception in 2004, SCULPT has been delivering life-altering results to clients who wish to become healthier, leaner and stronger. These results have been achieved by utilizing training programs based on exercise science, nutrition and the continuous monitoring of our clients prog¬ress in order to provide motivation and support. Over the years SCULPT TRAINERS observed and recorded essential data in determining which training regimens worked best. Recently, these observations were formally established as the SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM.

THE SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM can be de¬fined by three distinctive cores of principles: The Adaptive Training Core for exercise, the Nutrition Optimization Core for nutrition and the Dual Ac¬countability Core for program adherence. Each core addresses a specific component of a client’s program development. SCULPT TRAINERS use all three cores when designing programs for their clients. That way, all components of the SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM are present in all our fitness programs and customization can made based on each client’s goals and needs.

The end result is a fitness program that is unique to each client despite the fact that the same three cores are used. For instance, the Adaptive Train¬ing Core, the exercise component of the SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM, can be used to create an exercise program for any client.

This is true because the core allows SCULPT TRAINERS to create regimens specifically designed to a client’s age, needs, past injuries, goals, and fitness level. The Adap¬tive Training Core contains training protocols that ad¬dress all of the key factors mentioned. So even though everyone’s program is de¬signed using the Adaptive Training Core, the way train¬ers use it varies greatly for each client. The same varia¬tion applies to the other two cores.

Arguably the best feature of the SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM is that you as a client don’t have to worry about its cores or remember how they work in order for your fitness pro¬gram to be successful. Your SCULPT TRAINER will use the SCULPT TRAINING SYSTEM to develop your program and show you the benefits of this innovative new way to do personal training.
