The "packet" consists of several documents. They are all located
on the web site. You can print them from each individual page, or, after
reading, you can download them all as one
compressed file. (The compressed file requires some kind of un-zipping
program like PowerArchiver.)
This material will enlighten you to the form of exercise I use with personal
one-on-one training, SuperSlow®.
In the literature, you will read about Ken Hutchins, the founder and
developer of SuperSlow. It all started through an Osteoporosis four year
study at the University of Florida financed by Arthur Jones, developer
of Nautilus equipment. Ken Hutchins was one of the directors of that program.
He had to develop an exercise protocol on middle-aged osteoporetic subjects
that was precise, cautious and safe, yet intense enough to reach the goals
of the study. Thus, SuperSlow was created.
I was trained and certified by Ken Hutchins himself. He requires absolute
perfection and safety in his certification, taking four days of oral,
written, and practical exams. I am presently a certified Level II Master
Instructor.
A little about how the program works:
The first session lasts up to 30 minutes: 1/2 hour of history, interviews,
and precautions, the last portion on teaching and training on the equipment.
The second session is 1/2 hour of more intense exercise, plus expanding
the principles of SuperSlow* and reviewing precautions for safety. (I
am with you face to face, one-on-one for the entire time you are training,
setting up, positioning, instructing, and recording data.)
By the third session you will experience SuperSlow at its best and from
then on you will know beyond a doubt the benefits of personal exercise
training.
Ellington Darden, Ph.D., author of over 24 books on exercise, states
in The Nautilus Book, "How would you like to get over 50% better
strength training results from your Nautilus training! Well it's possible
if you apply the SuperSlow protocol to each Nautilus machine." (Equipment
such as Nautilus is very advantageous, but not required.)
