The Lagree Fitness Training Method™ is taught on an exclusive Megaformer, developed by fitness visionary, Sebastien Lagree. One of the main things to remember is it’s not pilates, it’s Lagree! Lagree Fitness™ meets all elements of physical fitness in each and every move. Physical fitness is made up of the following basic elements: Cardiorespitory Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, Body Composition, Core Strength, and Balance.
Lagree Fitness™ is the only workout that effectively combines strength, endurance, cardio, balance, core, and flexibility training. The key term here is effective.
5 Key Elements to Reach Effective Muscle Stimulation:
Resistance
Lagree Fitness™ uses spring resistance, which is variable and allows for peak muscle contraction while reducing the stress on the joints and the connective tissue.
Range of Motion
Lagree Fitness™ focuses on form and each movement is kept within the range of motion that targets the specific muscle or group of muscles.
Angles
The Lagree Fitness™ equipment is adjustable to allow for training at different angles to help recruit different muscle groups.
Tempo
Lagree Fitness™ utilizes slow and controlled movements. When working with and against resistance slowly, the tension on muscles stays constant, recruiting more muscle fibers. Slow and controlled movements activate the slow-twitch fat-burning muscle fibers.
Duration
Each set is performed for at least 60 seconds to stimulate both the fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers.
