Each repetition takes 10 seconds to lift the weight and another 10 seconds to lower the weight until it is absolutely impossible to move the weight any longer. After 1-3 minutes of performing the exercise, the trainer encourages you to sustain the weight for an additional 10 seconds. The deliberate slow movement of the weight keeps the muscle contracted throughout the entire exercise.
Muscle fatigue is when the muscle becomes thoroughly exhausted and is incapable of completing another full repetition. This is the most beneficial part of the exercise! Slow-Intensity™ is unique because it requires both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers to work hard throughout the range of motion providing the best possible results.
1-2 sessions per week for 20-30 minutes is the amount of time we typically recommend to our clients. The Slow-Intensity™ Workout completely exhausts the body making it counterproductive to perform it more than twice a week. Each exercise is so efficient, the body needs at least 48 hours to recover and rebuild.
