			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After more than 2 years of not taking on any more 1 on 1 personal training clients and growing our personal training business for our trainers, I&#8217;ve decided to open up 1 of our 1 on 1 options again; high intensity training phone consultations.</p>
<p>Whether you are a high intensity training fitness enthusiast or a professional personal trainer in the field, Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has the answer for you to help perfect your training experience. <span id="more-179"></span>A little knowledge goes a long way.</p>
<p>Are you having trouble making progress? Don&#8217;t know how to organize a routine? Don&#8217;t know how to figure out appropriate resistances to use? Equipment problems? Don&#8217;t know how to work with or around an injury? Specific problems with your clients that you train?</p>
<p>Whatever your problem, more than likely the answer is within reach and can be solved relatively quickly and you can get back to productive training.</p>
<p>Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has been thoroughly involved specifically in HIT for well over a decade professionally being certified when he was only 19 years old and obtaining a college degree in exercise science. He&#8217;s been using HIT principles since the age of 14. Through constant academic study, good further technical training from some of the best minds in the industry, several years of management of other HIT facilities, and owning a HIT company currently, put him at Master Trainer status. He has seen and worked through just about every issue relating to safe and effective high intensity training.</p>
<p>Testimonials:</p>
<p>&#8220;Chris Lutz has been our personal trainer for 4 years, and in our opinion, you will not find a better trainer with a better program. We&#8217;re both turning 45 years old this summer, and are thankful to say that we&#8217;re in the best shape of our lives due to our regimen with S.P.A.R.T.A.. Every week for 4 years we&#8217;ve done a High Intensity Training (HIT) workout for 30 minutes a session, that&#8217;s it. We both have gained strength/muscle mass, and also have lost a significant amount of fat by maximizing our efforts during training sessions and minimizing unhealthy food choices. If you&#8217;re looking for a personal trainer who can guide you to your personal best, please give S.P.A.R.T.A. a call.&#8221;</p>

Tina and Marcus Pluntke</p>
<p>&#8220;I am so excited to have found Chris Lutz and S.P.A.R.T.A.! I have worked with other trainers in the past&#8212;have spent a lot of money&#8212;and have gotten minimal results. In just 2 months at S.P.A.R.T.A. and the program they employ, I am down in weight, up in muscle tone, and thrilled with the results. You know it&#8217;s working when others notice a difference in you, too&#8212;and that&#8217;s just further proof that the knowledge and expertise is what separates them from others in the personal training profession. If you want great results in a short amount of time, look to Chris and his S.P.A.R.T.A. team. You will NOT be disappointed.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I hired Chris Lutz to help me correct 9 years of weight gain and muscle loss due to an out of control thyroid. In the last year I have lost 50 pounds and gained muscle thanks to Chris&#8217; ability to provide a personal training regime that works for me. S.P.A.R.T.A. understands the body and illnesses and worked with me to overcome the obstacles for my specific condition. You have nothing to lose by visiting them for a consultation to see if they can improve your health and fitness level. I guarantee you will be pleased by the results if you follow the program&#8230;.and who can&#8217;t do two thirty minute workouts each week?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, decades old advice has been upset by modern research and logical thinking.  In a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers showed that lifting heavy objects or weight training did NOT make flare ups of lymphedema in breast cancer survivors worse, but it prevented and helped the condition.  <span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p>This is yet another example that there are very few conditions in which proper exercise is totally contraindicated.  In fact, nothing or bed rest as recommended may be the worst thing to do, or at the least, prevent healing and regaining function.  </p>
<p>Read the <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13050582" target="new">study</a> here.  </p>
<p>I have personally trained many breast cancer survivors and have never seen a flare up of lymphedema as a result of exercise, especially proper weight training.  Many times, patients are advised not to lift more than 5 or 10 pounds with the affected arm.  However, one could easily see that this is unrealistic advice considering even opening a door exposes an arm to more force than that.  Likewise, we know that circuit weight training methods such as S.P.A.R.T.A. Training&#8482; have beneficial effects on circulation which is the problem when lymph nodes are removed due to breast cancer.  There have been such good vascular effects that even new growth of vascular pathways have been documented developing in trained musculature.  Logic would tell us that since the cardiovascular system and lymph system are connected, the same would probably occur there as well.  Of course, vague and non-descript statements like &#8220;don&#8217;t lift more than 5 pounds&#8221; are worthless.  And the fact that it is nearly impossible to communicate with a patient&#8217;s doctor, we just did the best we could and started slow and continued with a progressive program and our clients did wonderfully and this has been continuing for years.  This has helped them immensely to regain strength, function, and circulation problems that they may have lost.  Not to mention the money it will save them.  As pointed out in the study, the participants who weight trained went to their doctors for flare ups less than half as much as the participants who did not exercise.  The group who did not exercise went to the doctor 195 times.  Even if just the cost of their co-pays were saved, this amounts to a sizeable benefit from a little bit of exercise.</p>
