What is your wellness program doing for you?

That is a good question to ask yourself if you actually have one in your company. I talked to a few companies that had wellness programs working for them and they said they were not happy with what they were paying for and their exact words was a joke. This may not be the case with all wellness programs but I would like to think we at Mossa International are giving a lot more than everyone else. So far what I see the wellness programs offer stress management techniques and recommendations of working out and dieting. We provide the advice and fitness guidelines they are missing. We also provide work out rewards programs to keep you motivated. Usually these are set up by office pools with their own money. We use our money and our resources to provide bigger incentives to get you in the gym. You want a free vacation, hit the gym, lose the weight and beat all your colleagues at work. Your wife or husband will be supportive of this because who does not want a free vacation. The rewards will be different and depends on the size of the company, the bigger the company the bigger the rewards. We want this program to not only get people in shape but to help further develop business relationships with everyone. We know not everyone will like each other but people who may never said a word to each other may actually have something in common to talk about. So worker moral may go up and also productivity. These are two things that can help increase revenue in your company and we have not even talked about lowering health insurance costs. The value of this program can be tremendous for a company.

Reps

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:00:48 +0000

I like to follow the pyramid down rule going from high reps to low usually stopping at 6-8 reps on the last set. That usually means you are challenging yourself to the very end of the set. I rarely do a max out set but if you must try doing every 2-3 months. I personally do a max set every 6 months. It just is not as important to me anymore. Please remember it is about longevity of strength and not what you can do right now. If you have your mind set there you can keep lifting heavy forever. My goal is to be able to bench 315 til I am 80.

Level 4

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:58:52 +0000

This part of the program is more creative. I sometimes like it when you do a set that has 30 reps instead of the traditional 15-8 reps that we like to follow. This is where you decide if you are going to focus on strength or endurance. Feel free to change up your reps at anytime you feel like you want to change them. I sometimes even have a few of my clients do 40 reps. I have done as much as 60 on certain exercises so have fun.
This routine can be a 4-5 day routine also, we prioritize each muscle and work them out each day with the extra days to focus on your body parts that you want to pay special attention to. So in some cases you can do certain body parts up to twice a week instead of the normal once a week. So for example for myself I want to make my chest bigger so I in the past would do a second chest work out at the end of the week. So pick a body part that you want to see look better and go for it. You can do the same work out again for that body part or we can change it up with another routine.

Level 3

Now we mix up our weight training workouts with a good combination of weights, cables and machines. This is pretty much where you can be for the rest of your work outs. This program is for people who have moved into the program or have worked out for a while.

Level 2

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:56:27 +0000

These are for people who have some experience with dumbbell or barbell work outs. Since you are just starting to use them keep the reps high and controlled. Don’t worry about how heavy you can lift and just worry about doing it right.

Level 1

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:55:12 +0000

Take the work outs from level 1 work outs and do them at least 2 days a week on weights and fit in as much cardio as you can. The more you work out the more results you see. Your priority is working out each muscle group at least once a week. Please not with all programs the goal is to move to the next level.

Level 0

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:53:25 +0000

This is where people who have not ever worked out and who are obese should start. The reason why you start here because it is important that you start out slow to prevent injury. Start out walking and the absolute best thing you can do is swim. Swimming works every part of your body in a way that even weight training can not do. I personally have not been more sore after swimming than anything else. You can mix in the weight training routine from level one also but keep it simple.

Cardio

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:51:02 +0000

You have two choices here, you can go longer or go faster. I choose to go faster because I don’t have the time to do a 45-60 minute cardio session. With most of these programs you may be a level 4 weight trainer but need to start slow on cardio. The goal is two work your way up to a minimum of 30 minutes. If you choose to do 30 minutes then your goal should be adding more miles to your workout.

Fitness=life

tanamossa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:44:36 +0000

Fitness has been a reflection of how my life is. If I am stressed out I usually don’t do cardio and I just hit the weights hard. When my life is “working” I do everything with no problem. I want you guys to understand that I also have my pitfalls and I am not the perfect work out warrior. I still don’t miss a work out so there is progress being made even though things are not going well for me. I have had clients who dealt with some serious tragedies who still worked out and actually helped them avoid using alcohol or other negative ways of coping. They looked really good and it saved them. I always see it as if you can at least do that you are heading in a positive direction. The more constructive things you do the better you can handle anything. Working out has been a huge help to me to even control some of my anger management issues. You have to find your outlets in life and I hope you are making fitness one of them. The benefits are not just outside but inside also.
