Carl Hoffsten resuming his training 4 weeks into chemo and radiation therapy for brain cancer:
”This place is a paradise!”
“The premium membership has worked wonders for me to keep me in shape and motivated. I no longer have to worry about designing my own workouts or worry if I am performing the exercises correctly. Not to mention I am saving a TON of time, money, and frustration!“
“Training for the 2008 Olympic Weightlifting Team I was at college and had all sorts of distractions in the weight room. I missed the 2008 Olympic Games by 1 lift. 2012 will be different. Now that I am at home, and training at The Lab 2012 is in the bank!”
Easy Ways To Prevent Heart Disease with
Exercise
At Your Health Club St. Louis
Exercising at your health club St. Louis isn’t always easy, but it is one of the only controllable factors that can help prevent heart disease, the leading cause of death not only in the U.S., but worldwide. In fact, of six major controllable risk factors for heart disease, five can be managed in whole or in part by increasing exercise and physical activity (the sixth risk factor is smoking or tobacco use). The remaining three major risk factors are age, heredity, and sex, and exercise at your health club St. Louis is the best way to diminish the impact of these, too.

According to the American Heart Association, 1.2 million people in America will have a heart attack this year. About a third of these people will die (452,000). Cumulative data is even more alarming—an estimated 7.9 million Americans over 20 now living have had a heart attack, and 8.9 million have experienced chest pain as the result of diminished blood supply to the heart (angina pectoris).
The Best Things You Can Do To Prevent Heart Disease
To prevent heart disease, or to improve heart condition if you already have heart disease, there are just a few things you can do. You can quit smoking and using tobacco (if you do), you can eat better and improve nutrition, and you can exercise at your health club St. Louis. Being physically inactive is one of the most readily recognized risk factors for heart disease, but fortunately this is a totally controllable risk factor that can be reversed at any age and fitness level.
How Does Exercise Prevent Heart Disease?
Exercise at your health club St. Louis prevents heart disease in several ways.
First, the heart is a muscle, and all muscles are made stronger and able to function better by repeated use—in this case, exercise. Exercise improves circulation and decreases blood pressure, thereby further eliminating factors that impact heart health.
In addition, exercise at your health club St. Louis helps improve blood profiles. It balances out hormones, improves metabolism, and brings blood lipids (fats) under control. Exercise reduces levels of triglycerides in the blood (which have been linked to arterial disease) and increases HDL levels (HDL's being the good fats that improve heart health and that are seen at low levels in inactive adults).
Who Can Exercise For Heart Health And How?
Regular aerobic exercise at manageable levels is what majorly improves heart health, although strength training also factors into the equation and proves beneficial as well. Both of these are exercises that anyone can be involved in, even with a previous history of heart disease.
The key to exercising safely at your health club St. Louis to prevent heart disease is to keep activity manageable and effective. But manageable is a highly relative term for individuals, and what is safest for one may be different for another. The best way to be sure exercise is both safe and effective is to seek professional help—first from a doctor, then from a qualified fitness professional, such as a personal trainer, who can coordinate and develop an exercise plan that is at once reasonable, safe, and effective.

Success Stories
“I have lost over 133 pounds, I am no longer diabetic after 12 years, and have come off of 2 blood pressure medications. All of this happened inside of 8 months while working with Justin Thacker's nutrition and exercise programs. I have had to buy a new pair of pants every 2 weeks! Justin saved my life and I have so many new beginnings as I turn 51.”
“Exercise has always been such a huge part of my life. I have been a runner for years. Once I started working with Justin 1-on-1. I achieved things I never thought possible at my age! On my 75th birthday I did 80 pushups!!!
*That’s not all folks: Donald also has done these amazing feats: Squatted 225 for 15 reps, leg pressed 550 for 15 reps, and dips with 90 pounds attached to his body. All at age 75 and a bodyweight of only 150 pounds...absolutely incredible!
“I have been working with Justin for about 6 years. In the first 7 months of training he helped me lose over 60 pounds and now I am hard as a rock. I never knew how much muscle I was hiding!”
“We have been training together with a trainer for years but once we started training with Justin we found out just what we were missing. Every workout is a fresh new challenge!”
