PERSONAL TRAINING FOR DANCERS
As a renowned dance photographer and creator of Dance As Art- The New York City Photography Project, celebrity New York City personal trainer, Kevin Richardson has trained dozens of dancers over the course of his career and his involvement in the dance world gives him a unique perspective into the needs of today’s dancers. Most dancers need to increase their strength while also transforming their body to a sculpted and lean physique but have little in the way of time for hours of training in the gym in addition to the uncountable hours spent dancing. Kevin’s Naturally Intense High Intensity 10 Minute Workouts solve this problem as the workouts last for only 10 minutes and need to be done only three times a week. Leaving the dancer free to focus more on dancing while still receiving the benefits of training. Online Personal Training and Diet Coaching with Trainer Kevin Richardson and his team of trainers is also available.
Personalized Dietary Support
Diet is a key factor in the success of any training program and special care is given to recommendations based on healthy eating and balance as opposed to extreme dietary practices. Not only do we train dancers, one of our trainers, Erika Citrin is also a professional dancer and living proof that you can indeed do more in less time and achieve a stunning physique without resorting to any extreme dietary practices.
The prevailing concept of sports specificity states that the best way to train for any activity is to continuously repeat that activity however as a result most athletes walk a fine line between overtraining and inadequate recovery that ultimately leads a a decrease in performance. Thankfully more and more evidence is proving the contrary and that brief high intensity workouts are superior to prolonged sub-maximal exercise training.
For the past 28 years New York City Personal Trainer Kevin Richardson has used his Naturally Intense High Intensity 10 Minute Workouts™- to help dancers transform their bodies and also increase their strength, speed, explosiveness, power and endurance thus allowing them the luxury of spending less time in the gym and more time in the field mastering their craft.
This is a movement I do at the beginning of an arm workout to get the blood flowing and it`s extremely intense!
You don`t need a ton of weight I (only) used a pair of 35lb dumbbells for this one and it starts off as a modified one arm concentration-like curl and then compounds into a seated partial curl.
Twenty reps on the first phase and for the second one I zoned out, as I don`t really count much when I get into it, I just keep going and this time I got 9 reps but you can feel free to do 10!
If you are looking for a serious pump then you are most certainly won`t be disappointed with this exercise flow!
Thanks as always for taking the time to look at my work and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
One of the biggest deceptions today is the fact that many fitness influencers promote supplements not because they believe it will work for you but because it`s profitable. I wish it were otherwise as a lot of natural bodybuilders and natural athletes spend a lot of money on supplements, and they do so on the recommendation of their favorite fitness influencers or bodybuilders and it`s the same scam today as it was many years ago when magazines were the main source of bodybuilding information.
Just like back then, the bodybuilders and athletes promoting supplements often never used them. Most of them used steroids to look the way they do, but jumped on the supplement promotion bandwagon because it`s profitable. They make money through sponsorships and affiliate links, selling products that have no connection to why they look the way they do.
So don`t fall for it as you don`t need supplements. They don`t really work and you already have everything you need to succeed! So believe in yourself, thanks for tuning in and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense...
I Used Creatine For A Year And Here`s What Happened When I Stopped...
There are a number of studies out there youting the efficacy of creatine for helping build muscle mass and increasing performance.
But there are far fewer long term reviews by individuals who take meticulous notes of their results, while also maintaining the same diet.
In this review I share exactly what I saw in terms of muscle and strength increases with and without creatine, and I hope that this unbiased report helps you make the best decisions possible when it comes to supplement use.
Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
The best part of getting older is being able to show what you can achieve from a lifetime of high intensity training, a diet of unprocessed foods and most importantly no drugs!
I hope that my example helps inspire you to keep striving for excellence and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
High Intensity Lever Arm Bench Press- 345lbs for 8 Reps!
This was my last set and went all out!
Bit of a PR day as I was only expecting 6 reps since this was a good 20lbs heavier than my previous best on this exercise!
That said, when I got to rep number six, I still had gas left in the tank and we can`t have that so I kept on going and eked out 8 reps!
The last rep as you will see was a struggle but I got it up and you could tell I was blasted as that`s the saddest, "Excelsior!" I`ve said in a long time!!!🤣
For the equipment minded, it`s a Lever Arm Bench Press made with @betitanfit lever arms mounted on a modified @roguefitness Monster Lite Squat Rack.
Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
