You Show Up Consistently. Koko Automatically Builds in Exercise Progression. You Get Fit.

Posted on by

There is no mystery about what makes an effective exercise regimen – one that actually results in a fitter YOU. The science of exercise physiology has proven it time and again. Your fitness routine must incorporate some basic variables in order for you to see results and continue to see benefits over time.

Consistency and progression.

Let’s start with progression. Progression is defined as changes within exercise sessions and programs that can include: the amount of weight lifted, the number of repetitions, the speed at which repetitions are performed  -  AKA Koko’s  ”pace” –  the duration of workouts and the ordering of exercises. Progression is necessary because the human body is an incredibly adaptable machine. If we don’t effectively challenge it, because we continue to be stuck in the same old exercise routine, the fitness benefits from said routine will hit a “plateau.” Maybe we stop losing weight or we no longer seem to be able to add more muscle or get any fitter. Very demotivating.

The beauty of Koko Smartraining is that exercise progression is managed for you automatically with each session, each week, each month and each eight-week program. You may not even notice the changes in weight or how the pace has become slower, but your body does. No plateaus.

Koko has progression covered for you.

What about consistency?

Koko FitClub has created a motivating, prescriptive workout that is customized based on your goals and fitness level, one that progresses automatically so you never plateau. All you have to do to see the benefits is show up consistently.

You have to show up.

The world’s best workout won’t work if you aren’t consistently showing up and getting it done. There is no other secret to getting the fitness results you want, simply show up at Koko FitClub for three weekly strength sessions and four weekly cardio sessions.

I know you can do it…Now, go, go GO!

Triple Progressive System: The Secret to Getting STRONG with Koko

Posted on by

Stick to your Koko FitClub strength training prescription – 3 workouts a week on the Koko Smartrainer – and you get great results.

(On average a 33% strength gain after 24 weeks of strength training and a 41% strength gain after a year.)

You know it works,  but ever wonder how? A big reason is because the Koko Smartrainer’s patented technology uses the Triple Progressive System.

Say what?

pro·gres·sion/prəˈgreSHən/

Noun:

  1. A movement or development toward a destination or a more advanced state, esp. gradually or in stages.
  2. A succession; a series.

Progression is extremely important when it comes to exercise program design in the following areas:

  1. Exercise Progression – Advancing from basic to complex exercises with same exercise group. For example, going from a Squat to a Squat to Upright Row to a Squat to Upright Row with Heel Raise.
  2. Pace Progression – Slowing down the pace of each exercise within each exercise session and over the course of a 24 session program. This, in turn,  increases the “time under tension,” progressing from 30 to 45 to 60 seconds.
  3. % RM Progression – Progressively increasing the resistance or the load throughout a program – typically from 55% RM up to 80% RM. (RM is “repetition maximum” – the most weight you can lift for a defined number of exercise movements.)

…Now you understand “Triple!”

It’s hard to do on your own, but Koko precisely works progression in all three areas into each and every session and throughout all 100 Smartraining programs without you having to do a thing!

Koko’s Triple Progressive System =  a simpler, safer, more effective workout and great RESULTS!!

Pretty cool, isn’t it?

In Good Health,
