They say that age is only a number. True that people can and should stay mentally youthful. Also true that age does slow metabolism. Unfortunately slower metabolism continues to magnify in intensively as we get older. The professional trainers at GPT are experienced in delivering exercise routines specific to maximizing metabolism.
METABOLIC CONDITIONING
At GPT, we advise our weight loss clients to move away from traditional cardio and focus instead on metabolic conditioning. Traditional cardio training refers to the workouts you see most people doing at the gym. Walking on the treadmill, coasting on the elliptical, riding a recumbent bike while reading, etc. Traditional cardio is aerobic rather than anaerobic, moderate rather than intense, steady state rather than intervals, and focused on duration rather than intensity. These days everyone has an Apple Watch or Fitbit to track their daily steps and calories burned. While it is encouraging to see people taking pride in being more active, these devices are flawed tools if the goal is weight and fat loss.
We know a caloric deficit is the requirement for weight loss, but did you know that only 15% of your daily calories are burned through physical activity, while 75% are burned by your natural resting metabolism? So, what is a more efficient approach to maximize our caloric output throughout the day – to focus on the 15% or the 75%? Burning calories during our cardio is great, but we can create a much more impactful effect on our overall caloric output if we boost our resting metabolism in the process.
This is why GPT clients, are taught to do metabolic conditioning rather than traditional cardio. Examples of this would be HIIT training (high intensity interval training), sprint interval training, strength circuit training, or max intensity distance cardio (example would be running 3 miles as fast as you can, rather than pacing yourself in order to run 4-5 miles). All of these methods are designed to maximize the calories burned both during and after the session. By prioritizing intensity over duration our clients increase their resting metabolism for up to 24 hours post workout. When metabolic conditioning is used in combination with a well-designed strength training program, and proper fat loss diet, the results on body composition are truly amazing.

About GPT
Matt Lein always had a love of baseball. From the time he was very young he would spend time fielding grounders and pop flies with his father. He continued playing little league and then high school ball. By the time he hit his high school years it was evident to coaches and scouts that Matt had potential to enter the world of college baseball.
After a successful career with Wolford University, Matt won several distinguished awards for baseball excellence. Because his world had always been centered around sports and the importance of honing ones body to physical precision, Matt started GPT in 2008. He wanted to take all of that experience and use it to train others for the multitude of physical fitness pursuits they might have.
Matt has taken all of the training he received as an athlete plus hours of additional research and wrapped all of that into his training regiments. He also has a passion for working with people and a true desire to help others live their best life. His training includes weight loss, fat reduction, sports performance training, speed and agility, physique sculpting, metabolic conditioning, physical therapy, injury prevention, nutritional coaching, yoga, kickboxing, and more.
