We'll even personally teach you how to integrate all components into a comprehensive program, customized to your fitness level, goals, and time and equipment availability.

Strength Training
Strength training is exercise that uses resistance--for example, weights--to strengthen and condition the muscular-skeletal system, improving muscle tone and endurance. The benefits of strength training are many and have a great influence on our physical performance, metabolic efficiency, physical appearance, and risk of injury.

Weight Management
Decades of research have shown that diets, both self-initiated and professionally led, are ineffective at producing long-term health and weight (fat) loss. Images offers a much safer, more effective approach and will show you how to take the frustration, guilt, and deprivation out of weight management, allowing you to adopt gradual, realistic changes into your life that will make healthy eating and physical activity a permanent pleasure.

Cardiovascular Exercise
The terms cardiovascular exercise, cardiorespiratory fitness, and aerobic exercise are synonymous and the centerpiece of physical fitness, weight management, and cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) health. The benefits of cardiovascular exercise include decreased blood pressure, decreased cholesterol, decreased body fat, increased heart and lung function and efficiency, and decreased anxiety and tension.

Nutrition
Good, well-balanced nutrition is critical to your health, and greatly influences the results you'll achieve through your fitness program. Unfortunately, myths and misconceptions plague the health and fitness industry. Many people are unaware of--or have been misled about--how to reap the many benefits of good nutrition. Knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how often to eat can be confusing as well as frustrating. Fortunately, Images takes a very personal approach to nutrition and can eliminate this confusion by recommending a program that's right for you.

Flexibility Training
Flexibility is a joint's ability to move through a full range of motion; flexibility training (stretching) helps balance muscle groups that might be overused during exercise or physical activity, or as a result of bad posture. The benefits of a safe, effective stretching program include improved muscle coordination, posture, and athletic performance as well as decreased risk of injury, muscle soreness, and low back pain.
