Our workout

Our goal is to help you build muscle while protecting your body. [solidcore]'s low-impact exercises ensure minimal stress or force on your spine or joints.

Strength training workouts like [solidcore], can lead to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) or an "afterburn" effect. Your body continues to expend calories at an elevated rate even after the workout is finished (and up to 24 hours). This is due to the energy required to repair and recover muscles post-exercise.

At the gym, growing muscular strength is a common goal and can be reflected by a muscle’s ability to lift a load. At [solidcore] we train for muscular endurance – meaning we train your muscles to be fatigue-resistant and continuously work against an external force. Both training methods are effective and will improve your overall performance and health.

• Muscular strength: muscle’s ability to lift a load e.g. lifting one very heavy box. Programming for this incorporates high-weight loads and faster movement for a short period.

• Muscular endurance: muscle’s ability to resist fatigue over a sustained period e.g. moving boxes for an entire day. Programming for this incorporates lighter weight and slow movement for an extended period.

[solidcore] targets the type 1, or slow twitch muscle fibers (STMFs). Being fatigue-resistant, STMFs can sustain tension for a long time and control a muscle's endurance or ability to perform contractions with less fatigue. This can translate to improved performance in daily activities and other athletic pursuits.

Slower = stronger! Clients experience greater strength gains the longer the muscle remains under tension. By moving slowly, muscles undergo more metabolic work per second. Maintaining tension is necessary for achieving muscle failure during the controlled stage, which results in muscle growth. This takes traditional exercises, like a lunge, to the next level.
