4 Ideal Fitness Pregnancy Release SuperSlow® Technique Recognized by “Men’s Health” Magazine
SuperSlow Fact Sheet The SuperSlow method offers all of the benefits of a cardiovascular workout, but prevents potential joint damage. Performing the exercises in this manner results in less force on the body, thus making the exercise safer. The elimination of momentum as a factor in lifting the weight forces the muscles to do all of the work. The practice loads the muscles with resistance for a balanced, full range exercise. Clients at 4 Ideal Fitness find that by doing one-on-one SuperSlow training with highly qualified personal trainers for 30 minutes a week, they develop as much endurance as they would with several hours of conventional gym exercise. The SuperSlow technique of 10 seconds to lift the weight and 10 seconds to lower the weight within 2-3 minutes is unique and effective. The body can perform the exercises within the proper speed of motion of eight to twelve seconds, whereas the average strength training speed is three to four seconds. Clients need only train once to twice per week so that their muscle fibers may have adequate recovery time to grow back together leaving them stronger by their next workout. The phenomenon of SuperSlow was initially created for osteoporosis patients because its strength training uses MedX equipment that has been traditionally used in physical therapy offices. The exercise regimen enhances physical capabilities without putting stress on joints and bones during the workout. Location & Contact Information: Studio Hours:

high intensity strength training is the answer to a fitter, healthier body.
According to Linda Cole, owner of 4 Ideal Fitness is the largest SuperSlow high intensity strength training studio in Southern California.

The phenomenon of SuperSlow was initially created for osteoporosis patients because its strength training uses MedX equipment that has been traditionally used in physical therapy offices. The exercise regimen enhances physical capabilities without putting stress on joints and bones during the workout. “It is a common misconception that one is unfit because of a weak heart and lungs,” says Cole, “however a lack of fitness actually relates to weak muscles.” A fit person’s stronger muscles work more efficiently because they draw oxygen from the blood and reduce the strain on the heart and lungs. The highly-intense SuperSlow training pumps blood into the heart and conditions one’s entire system by pushing the aerobic and anaerobic systems to their maximum. “Once we adjust the equipment to fit your size and strength level, our goal is to work your muscles into a fatigued state so that serious metabolic changes occur. Unlike other forms of strength training, we use five pieces of equipment per session, allowing for just one set of exercises during two to three minutes on each machine. As you become stronger, more weight is added to promote muscle failure. This practice increases muscle strength, bone density, endurance and flexibility. It also improves cardiovascular efficiency, metabolism and body shape while promoting fat loss.” 4 Ideal Fitness’s diverse clientele includes soccer moms, busy professionals, athletes, seniors, medical providers, pregnant women, entertainment industry executives and celebrities such as Emily Proctor from “CSI: Miami,” Tony Shaloub of “Monk” and his wife actress Brooke Adams.

4 Ideal Fitness Pregnancy Release 4 Ideal Fitness Helps Prepare Moms For Giving Birth Los Angeles, CA – March 1, 2006 -- Linda Cole, owner of 4 Ideal Fitness, the largest SuperSlow High-Intensity Strength Training studio in Southern California, has created a new program for preparing moms-to-be for the big day. The SuperSlow exercise regimen is a safe and effective form of supervised exercise that takes only 30 minutes, once a week. It involves very deliberate and smooth movements – ten seconds to lift the weight and ten seconds to lower it -- hence the name “SuperSlow.” Physical capabilities are enhanced without putting stress on joints and bones during the workout, thus making workouts safer. “SuperSlow is the perfect way to prepare for childbirth,” says Cole. Doug McGuff, M.D in his medical paper SuperSlow in Pregnancy wrote , “The physiologic demands of pregnancy on the mother are considerable, and labor is probably the most demanding activity she will ever go through. The ease of her delivery can be directly proportional to her muscular and metabolic condition. If an athlete knew that the most demanding event of her life was approaching in 8 or 9 months don't you think that she would prepare for that event through proper conditioning?” Not only will the mother-to-be benefit from the general conditioning that SuperSlow provides, but she will have multiple rehearsals at deep concentration and proper breathing to help her during the intense muscular contraction and severe exertional discomfort of delivery. 4 Ideal Fitness client Maite Alvarez ,Ph.D. says she greatly benefited from her training with Cole. “Working out with Linda kept me fit throughout my pregnancy. I was still going strong up to a few days before giving birth. This workout is the best childbirth preparation you can do. Not only are you training the muscles you need for childbirth, but you are also working on focus and breathing techniques. Knowing that I was physically so well prepared for childbirth reduced my anxiety over the childbirth process.” “Our training during pregnancy program also increases the mother’s

Fitness at SuperSlow® Technique Recognized by “Men’s Health” Magazine Orlando, Fla. - November 30, 2007- SuperSlow continues gaining recognition “super fast” as a quick and effective way to exercise to build muscle, strength and endurance. Recently featured in Men’s Health Magazine for the third time, SuperSlow is a strength training technique developed by founder Ken Hutchins at the University of Florida Medical School. Under the supervision of a certified SuperSlow Instructor, the workout enables you to exercise specific muscle groups slowly, but effectively. It isn’t the speed that tones your muscle; it is what you do to it. “Working out 3 to 4 times per week is old news. In today’s
fast paced world, people don’t have time to do that and don’t
need to do that. By using the revolutionary SuperSlow, you need only one
or two workouts a week for about 20 minutes to accomplish and maintain
your goals,” Madeline Ross, SuperSlow Zone CEO, said. “Better
still, because of our ‘ideal exercise environment’ you may
not even break a sweat and clients can choose to workout in their regular
clothes. They get in, get out, and get on with their day,” This simple, but skill-and-effort-demanding strength training technique continues to be recognized by some of the top publications in the nation and is fast becoming the most respected full-body workout method. With SuperSlow all you need is 20 minutes, one to two times a week, for a full-body workout to maintain a healthy, vital lifestyle. The recent story on SuperSlow in Men’s Health Magazine noted that this technique “is a lot safer for the injury-prone, since many exercise strains and pains occur within smaller stabilizing muscles that become over-worked when you’re handling heavier loads of weight.” “Being featured in Men’s Health for our third time is really great news! The magazine is supporting, once again, the value of the SuperSlow as safe, efficient and highly effective. You just can’t beat great results from a 20 minute workout, twice a week. For people who workout and are in shape, we help them capture more free time for their life. For those who want to get into shape, which is a large part of the world, we are simply the best,” Ross said.
