A unique approach to exercise is renewing energy and restoring
ftness for people who have little interest in traditional gym
memberships or trendy fads that leave participants injured and
frustrated.
For those interested in an alternative approach to ftness,
Exercise Defned, Inc. in Conroe ofers SuperSlow Exercise, a
specialized resistance training program based on slow, steady
movement to develop muscular strength, endurance and toning
in a short amount of time.
SuperSlow Exercise is the safest, fastest way to reach your
genetic potential to build muscle, said Kam Hutchins, owner of
Exercise Defned, Inc.Muscle tissue is the most metabolic tissue
in the body; it burns more calories even while at rest.
Tats important because a number of people are interested in
structured exercise programs because they have been hurt in the
past or are worried about causing or aggravating an injury.
We lif and lower weights slowly to avoid momentum a
common cause of joint and muscle injuries, said Hutchins.
Its a scientifcally designed approach that enhances muscle
efciency and overall improvement to ones metabolism.
Fast, jerking motions may wear a person out quickly, but its also
a recipe for injury and it doesnt keep the muscle loaded. Moving
slowly sometimes super slowly is the best way to achieve
long lasting results.
Te program benefts people of all ages and physical conditions.
It is drawing seniors, those who are post-rehab, those aficted
with muscular disorders and those who havent exercised with
any regularity in recent years. And Ken says, If you sufer
from any of these conditions: Restless Leg Syndrome, Plantar
Fasciitis, Headaches or Stress, Back Pain and Leg Weakness.
SuperSlow Exercise might help!
Te success of the program is based on attitude as well as
specialized equipment developed by Ken Hutchins who worked
with Nautilus, one of the biggest names in professional exercise
equipment and supervised a company-sponsored osteoporosis
research study at the University of Florida Medical School.
Standard exercise equipment is designed to accommodate
a wide range of user styles, said Ken. We have modifed the
equipment we have for specifc use in our SuperSlow Exercise
program. We get better results because the machine and body
work together according to a specifc plan.
Te technical process involves clinically controlled loading of
muscles using reduced friction to introduce momentary muscle
fatigue and stimulate subsequent muscle growth. Te more
simple explanation is that SuperSlow Exercise ofers a more
efcient, less stressful workout.
Tere are a lot of things that annoy people about a traditional
gymsetting, notedKen. Its noisy, smelly andyoure surrounded
by people you probably dont want to be around.
Te experience at Exercise Defned is completely diferent. Each
30-minute session is specially designed for the individual based
on his or her condition, goals and physical capabilities. An
instructor directs, assists and monitors every step of the every
exercise.
We also maintain specifc temperature and humidity levels
and have plenty of fans to circulate the air, said Ken. If youre
dripping sweat and its not evaporating, your bodys cooling
system isnt working.
While every exercise program is diferent, tailored to the
individual, Ken said most people will fnd that two 30-minute
sessions per week will be sufcient to help restore and enhance
muscular ftness.
You dont have to push yourself to the brink of exhaustion or
subject yourself to a painful experience, said Ken. Slow and
steady wins the race.
Te SuperSlow Exercise approach is attracting attention because
its a low stress, highly efcient approach to exercise. Avoiding
sudden starts and stops and focusing on muscle usage is safe
and efective. Tere are more than 400 certifed SuperSlow
instructors across the nation now and the number is growing.
Te concept is growing in popularity, said
Ken. Tats because it works.
In an independent study conducted at a
major U.S. university, researchers found that
resistance exercise reverses aging in human
skeletal muscle.
Before exercise training, older adults were
weaker than younger adults, but afer six
months of training, older adults strength
improved signifcantly,said Peter Wenner,
Emory University.
Coach Mike Ferrell, 73 and his wife Annette of
Conroe can attest to the benefts of SuperSlow
Exercise. Te couple has been working with
Exercise Defned for nearly seven years
and continue to be impressed by both the
program and the brother team of Kam and
Ken Hutchins.
Kam and Ken are good people I frst met
when they were in high school, said Ferrell.
Im impressed with the system they have
developed. Its been very benefcial to my wife
and me.
Ferrell is particularly impressed that an instructor directs every
phase of each exercise session. Tere is a variety of exercises that
help achieve steady results.
You feel a little tired at the end of the work out, acknowledged
Ferrel, but you really feel like youve accomplished something.
Dr. John V. Peet, a veteran physician of more than 40 years in the
Conroe area, is not only a supporter of the SuperSlow Exercise
concept, hes a member of Exercise Defned. Since beginning the
program six months ago, he reports his strength and stamina
are improved.
Its an excellent exercise program that would be good for just
about anybody, said Peet. Te process is low impact, so its less
stressful mentally and physically but it accomplishes the goal
of strengthening your muscles. Ive been impressed.
While a number of clients come to Exercise Defned, Inc. as the
result of a referral from a doctor or chiropractor, more come at
the recommendation of a friend or relative who has experienced
the program frst hand. Te program is also surprisingly
inexpensive.
We encourage people to call or come by for a visit, said Ken.
Its a diferent approach to ftness and exercise, but its one that
people recognize as benefcial once they experience it.
Exercise Defned is located at 6440 Longmire Road in Conroe.
