WHY THE LAGREE METHOD WORKS

LAGREE ADDRESSES ALL ASPECTS OF FITNESS IN A SINGLE WORKOUT.

In every Lagree fitness class, you will train your muscles to a threshold of intensity that will stimulate improvement. This promotes fat loss and lean muscle growth. You’ll work every muscle in its length, which improves flexibility, and focus on core-stabilizing exercises while maintaining good form throughout every move.

HOW THE LAGREE METHOD WORKS

FOUNDATIONAL FITNESS TRAINING AT EFFECTIVE INTENSITY

In order for a type of fitness training to be effective, it is crucial to train at an effective intensity. This is because the human body must reach a certain threshold of exercise intensity in order to stimulate adaptive changes. Reaching this intensity threshold depends on several factors, including an individual’s body type and current fitness level, meaning it is different for everyone. When the body is being trained at its effective intensity, the muscles are being effectively stimulated and results are maximized. The Lagree Method not only brings individuals to their effective threshold during training sessions, but it also meets all of the key foundations to physical fitness.

Time Under Tension (TUT)

Time under tension refers to the amount of time that a muscle is placed under load or is strained during a set. For a bodybuilder, a set of ten repetitions should take roughly 15-25 seconds to complete (depending on the speed of the lift). With Lagree fitness, however, sets last between one to two minutes. This longer amount of time demands more exertion from the muscles for a longer period of time, which helps to create better and faster results

Slow & Controlled

Lagree fitness requires that each repetition of each exercise takes eight or more seconds to complete and without any momentum. This helps to ensure that there is little to no risk for injury and that muscles do more metabolic work per unit of time than they would if they were moving quicker. Additionally, participants of Lagree fitness often see quicker improvements in their strength due to the extended amount of time that their muscles are placed under tension. The Lagree method is useful for both beginners and advanced participants, and allows newcomers to “wake up” the muscles that were not accustomed to traditional movements.

Sensory-Motor Training

Lagree fitness places an equal emphasis on balance as it does on strength and flexibility which also helps with preventing injuries. This is because most exercise injuries take place when unexpected forces are encountered, and by learning how to balance by incorporating balancing exercises into exercise routines the way that Lagree fitness does, participants are able to both prevent and heal from injuries, chronic back pain, and even other health issues. These expedited results also show that balance training is more efficient and effective than standard strength training methods.

Superset Succession

A superset is a succession of two or more sets of exercises that each target the same muscle group. Because the Lagree fitness method places a large emphasis on supersets during each workout, this allows participants to save time, increase their intensity, and take their muscles to failure in a safe way with no need for a spotter.

Rapid Circuit Training

The Lagree fitness method places a lot of emphasis on circuit training, which means that participants move quickly from one exercise to the next for a specific amount of time or number of sets. This allows the participant to reap the benefits of both strength and cardiovascular training as the lungs, heart, and muscles are working concurrently. This method of training also allows its participants to achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Mind/Body Connection

Lagree fitness creates more nerve endings in the body by asking the participant to be focused and present in each movement by focusing on the muscles that are being worked during each exercise. This mind/body connection helps to ensure the creation of more neuromuscular pathways, which ultimately results in increased sensitivity and strength.
