High Altitude Training

“The record has shown that since 1968, 95% of all Olympic and World Championship medals from the 800 through the Marathon were won by athletes who lived or trained at altitude. It can therefore be concluded that altitude training is necessary for success in endurance events.” – Dr. Joe Vigil, 2008 USA Olympic Team Running Coach

Altitude Training Strategies:

Depending on the demands of your sport, there are many different ways to apply Hypoxico technology to your training. We are happy to provide free consultation on best practices based on your athletic goals. As it pertains to strategy, there are three specific methodologies that we encourage our clients to implement. Keep in mind, these protocols can be mixed and matched to fit your lifestyle and achieve maximum adaptation. Some clients will use just one while others will consistency implement all three.

Altitude training has been proven to provide the following benefits to athletes:

  • Increase VO2 max and lactate threshold.
  • Increase power output and Speed.
  • Enhance Endurance and Stamina.
  • Reduce recovery time.
  • Increased capillarisation (density and length), enabling increased oxygen delivery to tissues.
  • Boost in mitochondrial enzymes allowing more efficient use of oxygen for energy production.
  • Decreased heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Increased production and release of human growth hormone.
  • Stimulation on fat-burning metabolism.

In addition, Hypoxico works directly with the USA Olympic Committee and other international olympic federations. Most recently, Hypoxico installed an environmental simulation chamber in the USA Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs that simulates not only altitude, but also temperature and humidity. The chamber helped the USA earn the most medals at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.

Body Composition Analyse

Sporty Lifestyle coaches Sheryl & Lars utilizes state-of-the-art equipment in order to measure your body composition and resting metabolism.

Bioelectrical impedance is an extremely reliable method for body composition analysis. It’s fast, consistent, accurate and easy to use.

More than simple weight or body fat percentage levels provided by ordinary scales or calipers, Body Composition Analysis provides detailed body composition analysis – weight, body fat percentage, fat mass, fat-free mass, resting metabolism, and hydration levels – all without the inconvenience of more intrusive traditional measurement methods.

Why test your body composition?

  • To distinguish between body fat and lean body mass
  • To ensure optimal hydration levels
  • To determine the number of calories your body needs at rest
  • To prevent weight related health problems, including malnutrition
  • To provide measures of healthy weight loss, in addition to the scale
  • To know the progress you make

Body Composition Analysis shows changes when the scale doesn’t – a huge impact on your motivation during the weight loss process.

Road to Ironman…

 

What is a beginner triathlete? Is a beginner triathlete a person that signs up for a first time Ironman? Or perhaps a beginner triathlete is person who has no athletic background, never did endurance training and now want to finish a sprint triathlon.

The coaches Sheryl and Lars were beginner triathletes one day. Some beginner triathletes come from single sport backgrounds. They can have great experience and swimmers and runners but be total beginners in cycling or running. Regardless of your background rest assured that our custom plans will fit your backgound, your race goals and fitness. That is the beauty of triathlon training and what makes it exciting. You can be a college swimmer and be a total beginner on the bike thus allowing you to still be considered a beginner triathlete.

The first thing you want to do as a beginner is set out a date for your triathlon and sign up for it. This date is what your training will be geared for. If you have trouble deciding on a date contact us we can help you based on your situation. Once we have a date we can work together with the right plan for you.For the great majority of beginners our recommendation is to at least do each sport twice a week. Doing a sport less than twice a week will not allow your body to adapt to the training stress. Add to this 2 sessions of strength training and now you have 8 sessions each week. That is the bare minimum we recommend in order to avoid injury and to have a gratifying experience on race day.The other common question a beginner has is what distance to race first. We recommend you start short and let your body build appropriate endurance. So even if the big goal down the road is to finish an Ironman, set out an initial goal to do shorter races.

 There are 4 race distances, Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 Ironman and 140.6 Ironman.
We look forward to working with you.

Circuit Strength Training

 “As a former Marine I know what it is to do a military “circuit training”. With my background as a physical trainer I combine the Circuit Training Outdoor with fun & a Marines attitude….”- Coach Lars

Circuit training is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity aerobics. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise “circuit” is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for the next circuit. Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise.

Each class is led by Sheryl and/or Lars who engages guests through various workouts offering variations for different skill sets.

We have an exceptional experiential skill set and are well versed in a variety of methods. We will take your workout to a new level and design the perfect solution to enhance all layers of wellness.

An approach may start with building strength and endurance while also teaching you new skills requiring balance, coordination and functional movement pattern development.

One thing all of the classes have in common is an amazing view of rolling waves on the beautiful beaches sweeping skies and soft sand, public parks or just a perfect location only found in Aruba.
