WODs

Here at High Definition Fitness OPEX Victor Valley, we have been providing exclusive individually designed programs for nearly three years.  Along the way, we’ve fiddled with how we explain the differences from our philosophies and implementation of health and fitness relative to others within the fitness industry.  Sometimes we nail the explanation, other times we fumble.  You’d think if we explained it to one person, we’d just repeat that explanation to each additional person and they would clearly understand.  Not always…

Here’s a neat little video illustrating how we help you improve yourself.

It turns out, often the explanation requires an individual approach.  Yes, we could repeat the same thing over and over exactly the same way, using the same words.  But folks learn differently.  Folks hear what they want to hear. People show up with preconceived prejudices or habits or experiences from all the things they have or have not done in their life.  The internet and media is flooded with misleading and half true “health” and/or “fitness” advice.  And we as coaches have our own biases and challenges to overcome.

“Fitness” means different things to different people.  And “healthy” is a spectrum also.  We asses your health and fitness in a “relative” manner.  This ensures that we are always coming from a place of “truth” and helps with realistic outcomes.

The bottom line is this, we are a place of health and fitness professionals working to help individuals improve themselves in a balanced (holistic) fashion.  Whatever your background, where ever you are coming from, if you are really ready for change, if you want the best fitness coaching from coaches who care about you long-term.  If you need guidance with or want to posses “fitness as a way of life”.  We are they place for you.

Why Regular Sun Exposure is Healthy 

Looong days, short nights mean it’s summer time around here.  When it’s hot out folks are either laying out for hours working on their tan or hiding out all day inside with the air conditioner.  Neither of these practices are healthy.  The idea, again, is balance between them.

Our planet orbits that red fireball up there in the sky.  This daily ritual helps to regulate many systems that occur in our environment including our sleep cycle.  Sunlight early in the morning helps balance our circadian rhythm improving sleep and recovery from exercise and life stress.  Another benefit of responsible sun exposure is the natural production of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D plays a significant role in our health.  Low levels of Vitamin D are associated with a host of health concerns*.  In short, if you have a symptom of X, and your Vitamin D level is low, raising your level of Vitamin D will likely reduce your symptom(s). Vitamin D is tremendously important.

But how much sun exposure is the right amount?  Great question that has no exact answer.  The correct answer is just enough but not too much.  Riiiiight…I know.  Lame, vague answer.  But it’s individual.

We each have different tolerances to the sun.  Skin pigmentation also plays a role.  In general, the darker a person’s skin is, a longer exposure time is required to produce the Vitamin D, and the greater natural protection against skin damage.  The lighter the skin, the less time required for Vitamin D production and less natural protection.

Health and fitness are more than just “going to the gym”.

Our professional coaches work with you to develop your own balanced program to become the best version of you.  We’d love to help you reach your health and fitness goals.
