Boomerang Personal Fitness Toning utilizes various types of exercise routines/techniques:

BALANCE TRAINING Balance is essential to the proper execution of athletic movement at the height of working out. Balance training benefits your neuromuscular coordination–basically, it helps improve communication between the brain and muscles. And improved balance can be beneficial in everyday life as well. Balance helps prevent falls, a major cause of disability in older adults.

CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING Endurance is critical to consistent physical fitness. Boomerang incorporates conditioning elements designed to maximize your body’s ability to metabolize oxygen, critical to the success of any exercise regimen. Cardio respiratory training boosts heart rate and breathing–good for the heart, lungs, and circulation. These exercises can also help prevent or delay the onset of serious illness.

CORE STRENGTH TRAINING The core is where the body’s center of gravity is located and where all movement and strength begins. In fact, at least twenty-nine muscles make up the human core, and many simple bodyweight movements can be used to engage all of them. Core training increases your stability, strength, power, muscle endurance, and neuromuscular control.

RESISTANCE-BAND AND BODYWEIGHT TRAINING Strengthen and tone muscles without the constraints of free weights. Elastic resistance training does not rely on gravity to provide resistance. Instead, resistance bands use tension, mimicking the movement patterns of everyday activities. Resistance bands can add challenge and variety to any workout program.

Bodyweight training exercises require no equipment beyond the resistance provided by the weight of your body. Results are achieved partly because they often incorporate compound movements involving numerous joints and muscles in each move. Bodyweight training can be a great choice for achieving gains in functional strength, building muscle, boosting cardiovascular fitness, and burning fat. Plus, bodyweight training can be easily modified to challenge any fitness level.

It is important to note that all the aforementioned training techniques work hand-in-hand. I design my routines to be anything but routine! I keep them interesting, challenging, and fun. All exercise regimens are developed and updated as dictated by each client’s progress.
