Pursuit Health & Performance, Gilbert, AZ Videos

Kyle is one of the most dedicated, consistent, and humble content in Pursuit! He has been extremely consistent with his nutrition and training the last few months and has dropped about 5% body fat and has a solid six pack for the first time in years. He almost never misses his check-ins, asks questions to help him navigate through any confusion and make sure that he has a clear game plan for him to crush his goals. As a coach I’m so proud to have Kyle as one of my clients and he is an exemplary example of pure dedication! Kyle also suffered a severe injury to his knee playing basketball mid-program, yet he Worked with me on moving things around and customizing his program so he could rehab his knee and still train the rest of his body. Months later, his knee is good as new and he’s in the best shape of his life! I’m looking forward Kyle continuing his cut and then doing a slow bulk after the summer is over! #pursuithealthandperformance #pursuithp #alwayspursuing #ditchthediet #onlinehealthcoaching #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnessjourney #fitnesstransformation #fitnesslife #clienttransformation #clienttestimonial #veteranowned

Eliezer is one of the most dedicated and hungry clients I have ever seen. He doesn’t complain, doesn’t think of all the reasons he can’t do something, he just executes! On top of that, he’s shredded and jacked💪🏻🤣 but very humble about it! I’ve seen this guy go through a huge transformation over the last year and it’s awesome to see his physique change but even more rewarding to see the mindset transformation he’s had. He looks forward to his workouts and found the joy in exercise! That’s not easy to do but I guarantee you it has a lot to do with his success 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to see your progress over the next few years man! #alwayspursuing #pursuithp #pursuithealthandperformance #fitness #clienttestimonial #clienttestimonials #workout #veteranowned

Check out our podcast! In this episode I dive deep into the practices and mental state that may be holding you back from being as successful as you want. As humans, we are very good at lying to ourselves and telling ourselves we're doing a better job than we really are. It's time that we took our accountability to the next level in order to unlock our true potential and unlimited happiness! #podcast #pursuithealthandperformance #pursuithp #alwayspursuing #onlinehealthcoaching #ditchthediet #onlinefitnesscoach #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #StopLying #veteranownedsmallbusiness #veteranowned

It’s the weekend and the weather is beautiful in many places across the country! Try exploring a new place an get outside for your weekend workouts! - DID YOU KNOW that outdoor activities are not only a great way to get your workout in, but it’s also good for your mental health?! Exposure to nature has been linked to improved attention, lower stress, a better mood and more! - Need some ideas to get moving outside? If you love the water, grab a paddleboard, kayak or canoe! On average, you burn 330-460 calories per hour of recreational paddleboarding. Want to go for a hike? A 160lb person will burn between 430-440 calories per hour of hiking. #pursuithealthandperformance #alwayspursuing #thepursuit #pursuithp #clienttransformation #onlinehealthcoaching #onlinefitnesscoach #fatlosschallenge� #fatlosscoach #abwork #ditchthediet #buildmuscle #musclebuildingworkouts #premiumfitnesscoaching #firstresponderfitness #fitnurse #firstresponders #nurse #Firefighter #Doctor #policeoficer #healthcareheroes

Take me back to spin class where my legs are in hell 🔥 for 45 minutes straight - A hear a lot of trainer talk about how you don’t need to do cardio do get lean. It’s true you don’t “need to” but I I can guarantee you that it sure does help - I’ve tried to lose body fat by diet alone and although what/how much you eat plays the biggest role, you’re really going to limit yourself more then you might think - When you add in cardio of any kind you are going to burn more calories. That means that you get to eat more food and still lose weight (as long as you don’t eat it all back). I think “dieting” suck in general and don’t want to have to deal with feeling hungry for any part of the day - Adding in a few days a week of cardio is also EXTREMELY beneficial for our overall heart and lung health. It also helps aid in deeper REM sleep which is where most of your recovery happens. Therefore, having better cardiovascular endurance and a higher cardiac output can actually lead to more muscle gain (if your macros are set correctly) - Adding in cardio can also lead to more body fat burned at rest compared due to something called the respiratory exchange ratio (RER). This can change based on how aerobically fit an individual is and cardio helps - So don’t throw the 👶 out with the 🛁 when it comes to cardio. I like to mix things up and do 1-2 days of HIIT and 1-2 days of LISS - What forms of cardio do you hate 💀.

Consistently training hard is making you fatter😮 - That face you make when you’re barely half way through the workout 😰 lol. Most of the time it’s good to train hard. We need to progressively overload our bodies in order to create adaptations in strength and muscle...but not fat loss - There’s only a few ways you can effectively build muscle and strength, but there are tons of different ways to lose weight/body fat. All that matters is you have to be at a calorie deficit (negative energy balance) - Training hard day in and day out can lead to burn out. What I mean by this is your adrenal glands will start to become less effective, your cortisol levels will rise, your central nervous system won’t have proper time to recover, and all this adds up to less adaptations, slower metabolism, and sometimes even gaining body fat. I actually see this more often than you might believe. I’ve had several clients that work their butt off in the gym so much that they start having diminishing returns. They think they’re grinding (and they are) but it’s actually doing them more harm then good, especially when it comes to their physique - A very common misconception is that if you’re more sedentary you should work out harder and more frequent. This may seem like the logical answer but if you are less trained your body can take less abuse. If you’re more trained the harder you can train and more frequent you can train - So, if you’re just starting out on your exercise routine or maybe you’re still a beginner with fitness...cycle the high intensity days you have with the lower intensity days in the gym - A general recommendation is try to space the high intensity workouts at least three days apart. I wouldn’t do more than 2-3 a week for most people. Prioritize intelligent programming that utilizes strength training and LISS (slow cardio) - #trainertip #aztrainer #gilbertaz #gilbert #strengthandconditioning #cscs #customproograms #onlinehealthcoach #onlinenu

One of my favorite pieces of gym equipment👇🏻 - The Exercise Ball🔮 - Favorite exercise with the ball👉🏻 - STIRRING THE POT🎥 - First, anyone can afford to purchase an exercise ball and have it delivered to their font door through Amazon (that’s what I did🙋🏼‍♂️) - Second, this piece of equipment if extremely versatile and most movements with the ball will challenge your neural control and requires hyper-focus In order to counter any unwanted movements that the ball will try to create (please don’t do squats on top of the ball🤦🏼‍♂️) - Third, it really doesn’t take up too much space and is generally easy to store (mine goes on top of my fridge in my garage) - Trainer Tip: Try to go slow when making circles with your arms, don’t rest your inner forearms on your biceps/try to stay upright, and go SLOW! - Go give this one a try and let me know how sore your core is below! I would shoot for 4 rotations each way=8 total,4-5 sets as a finisher🙌🏻👇🏻 -

I never understand why people don’t train their legs more often that the rest of their body - Your lower half is how we move any get around as humans. We’re bipedal meaning we walk/move in two legs...so why do we put so much emphasis on training our chest, arms, and abs? - Well....probably because legs are easier to cover up then the other muscle groups. During the summer you could take your shirt off and have a six pack but also have chicken legs at the pool and nobody would ever know (I would know lol). - Even from a point of non-functionality we should want to train our lower body because it’s going to give us a better physique on our upper half. The most difficult days in the gym are usually leg days because they work the most major muscle groups, burn the most calories, and are usually the most strenuous on the nervous system which create the most major adaptations. I’m not telling you to neglect your upper body at all, however, your lower half should be roughly 65% of your training in my opinion - That does not have to be all strength training. I can absolutely be a mix of aerobic high intensity or explosive work, aerobic steady state work, strength training, hypertrophy, endurance, etc. - In fact, I think my legs look, feel, and perform literally 3 times better once I started training them in different Rep ranges with varying stimulus - No, I don’t just have a Monday leg day and call it good. There’s a reason mixed modal athletes look and perform the way they do. #nolimits - #aztrainer #azveterans #veteranownedbusiness #privatetraining #cscs #onlinehealthcoach #onlinenutritioncoach #exathlete #fitdad #fitmoms #fatlossexercises #athomeworkouts #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #duespaid #trainingthatworks

Do you feel tight? Do you have aches and pain in certain areas of your body? - ME TOO🙋🏼‍♂️ - Years and years of heavy lifting. A few bad injuries, and overall abuse on my body has left me a very tight and lacking proper mobility in my shoulders and hips - I have a LONG way to go, but a few things that have helped me is programming days and times where I do non-negotiable mobility work - I even sacrifice “workouts” over my mobility work and here’s why👇🏻 - Mobility and strength AT the joint means you can do more and that joint can take more abuse for longer periods of time (as you get older). - I hear ALL the time that people just want to be able to enjoy retirement and not have any physical limitations when they’re older yet their weekly training DOES NOT reflect that whatsoever (I used to be one of those people for 10 years). In the past year I’ve been prioritizing to mobility, flexibility, and strength AT the joint in isolation and I feel soooo much better, even recovering from a terrible L-5 / S-1 disc tear (20 months now) - I could definitely be doing more but I am proud of how far I’ve come and how my mindset has shifted more towards longevity. Please don’t think that you can’t damn look good at the same time as prioritizing mobility - Try to start small, dedicate 15 minutes 2x3 a week on ONE area of your body that’s troubling you the most and I bet you it will pay off tremendously - #trainertipthursday #aztrainer #mobilitytraining #mobilityexercises #liftforlongevity #lookgoodmovewell #gilbertaz #azsmallbusinessowner #veteranownedbusiness #veteran #cscs #exercisescience #conjugatestrong #progressiveoverload #onlinehealthcoach #onlinewellnesscoach #onlinehealthcoach #privatetraining #aztrainers #iam1stphorm #1stphormathletesearch #legionofboom #duespaid

One of my favorite core exercises is kneeling landmine rotations and here’s why👇🏻 - A whole lot of core activation - Prioritize rotation - You get a little shoulder work with this movement - And...they’re just hard - It’s easy to stick exercises were comfortable with but I want to challenge you guys to pick a few new movements to swap/add to your exercise routine each month. I promise you these SMALL changes will give you BIG results - If you need any ideas let me know, I’m here to help 😊 - #landmineworkout #coreworkouts #rotationalpower #aztrainer #gilbertaz #chandleraz #mesaaz #asu #cscs #exercisescience #smallbusinessowner #veteranownedbusiness #veteranowned #garagegymoftheweek #garagegymathlete #privatetraining #privatetrainingstudıo #onlinehealthcoach #iam1stphorm #legionofboom #duespaid #movewellmoveoften
