Joyce Cherrier’s 5 Ways to Avoid A Fitness Plateau
Posted in Interviews by Alek No Comments
With January 1st just passing a little under a month ago, many are eager and inspired to fulfill their fitness New Year’s Resolutions. However, as with each New Year, some will find that their inspiration quickly dwindles after they’ve lost their targeted weight or reached their fitness goals.
Have you ever experienced a fitness plateau? What did you do to overcome it?
In order to best answer this question, I looked to Joyce Cherrier, a Certified Personal Trainer and fitness-centric Social Media maven who also runs the extremely witty and clever blog Freaking Fitness when she is not hiking, surfing or playing her bass. Before asking her for her tips on how to avoid a fitness plateau, I wanted to get to know her a little better:
How did you first get involved in living and leading a healthy and fit life?
I learned to surf in my teens and I became stronger and healthier. I loved how that made me feel and the confidence it gave me. That led me down a healthier lifestyle path. Read more
The new Ferrari Gym inside the Scuderia Ferrari opened before Christmas.
The opening event was attended by Ferrari Principal Team Stefano Domenicali, Technogym President Nerio Alessandri, Formula 1 Pilots Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa and Paolo Zavatta, Sales Director of Energy Resources.
The new Ferrari Gym covers about 250 square meters and contains 23 equipment machines: the new Arke Kit and Kinesis One for the functional training, Top for upper body training, Run Now for cardiovascular training and the Selection line for strength training.
This new gym is for the F1 Team and also part of an annual check-up program that includes a customized training program.
We spoke with Technogym North America Education Manager Erica Tillinghast to learn more about Vario, its functionality and how it can best fit into a fitness facility. Read the interview below:
We heard Vario has been available in other countries for the last few years, but not in North America. Why are you bringing it to the US now?
Vario has been a favorite cardio piece in facilities worldwide for the last few years. It offers exceptional versatility and movement freedom that keeps members engaged and in charge of their workouts. Our product portfolio in North America has been growing over the last few years, introducing products such as our Top upper body cardio conditioning piece and our total body lateral trainer, Crossover. As the market evolves more and more toward delivering personal experiences, it makes sense to bring the self-adaptive technology of Vario to our customers.
What makes Vario’s motion unique?
Vario replicates a user’s natural stride length and stride height, making for an extremely comfortable, fluid movement. The stride height is 7 inches, which is the same as the height of an average stair step. The stride length goes up to 33 inches, that is the longest on the market, allowing even taller users to simulate a natural running stride. The combination of stride height and stride length makes for an extremely natural movement that is not only comfortable, but also gentle on the joints.
