A.J. BEAST

A.J. BEAST Personal Trainer A.J. Buchanan. Hello Everyone! My name is Andrew Buchanan but I go by the name A.J. for short. I was born in Jamaica. Now, enough about me.

In this description I will share some information not only about myself, but also about my training method and philosophy. I will also discuss how important is it to me that each program designed for my clients is to specifically meet their own fitness goals. That being said, here is some information about myself. I went to school over in Highland and graduated in the year 2014. During my high school years I participated in numerous amounts of school activities such as sports, clubs, and fundraisers. Not only was I just a student but I also participated in sports which I was chosen to be captain of and lead. I was captain of Highland's varsity football and wrestling team for 2 years. I've received numerous amounts of athletic awards from both the school and community. Which includes two my favorites, the Poughkeepsie Journal defensive football player of the year and holding the title to this day of most tackles in eight football games. I then went on to play one year of college football at Ithaca college. Had a wonderful experience and the then decided I wanted to pursue something else. I now attend Dutchess Community College majoring in exercise science. Training philosophy... No equipment, no problem! All my clients are not expected to own any equipment at all. All we need is space to train and you just bring your own yoga mat! I truly believe in the concept behind High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). What HIIT is, is a form of interval training, an exercise method which alternates short periods of intense anerobic with less-intense recovery periods. This is a great form of cardio, to help my clients get the results they want! Now, That is the only base for my for my programs. I can absolutely manipulate and design the program so that it fits my clients needs. But typically I will use the concept of HIIT when clients are looking to lose weight, build lean muscles, tone, develop a strong core, flat stomach, a solid 6 pack, looking to strengthen their cardiovascular health, develop speed, muscular endurance, etc. But overall I am open to coach anyone who is ether just start out on their fitness journey all the way to elites who are looking for a challenge and a program to strengthen their weaker links. This page is for anyone looking for personal training to help reach their personal fitness goals.

5 BENEFITS OF CIRCUIT TRAINING

1.) Strength Training

Regardless of your fitness goals, improving muscular strength is important. As we age, our bodies lose muscle and bone density. A few minutes a week working on areas like arms, legs and core muscles can make you stronger and help prevent diseases like osteoporosis. (Note that men are at risk too!)

2.) CARDIO VASCULAR HEALTH

Routines with aerobic exercise, like sprinter sit ups or high knees, increase your blood circulation and get your heart rate up. And we all know the value of cardio-- weight loss, reduced risk of diseases, better sleep, and so on.

3.) TIME EFFICIENT

If you’re busy and want to combine strength and aerobic routine together, this is the workout for you. Try a class setting where the exercise stations are provided for you at . Be in and out in a set amount of time. Boom!

4.) WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT

If you enjoy group activities, circuit training is a great social experience. Move through the circuit with old friends or make new ones. Fist bumps, music, plus the burn! You got this! :)

5.) BEATS BOREDOM

This workout can be fast paced and fun. And when you constantly switch up your activities, your mind doesn’t have time to drift.

FITNESS FOR THOUGHT 💭
Save these great fitness info graphs for a little inspiration throughout the week. While I don’t consider myself a vegan. Fun fact! Studies have shown that being omnivorous or vegan has NO effect on your GAINS and RESULTS so long as your meeting your protein requirements. That being said I have modified what and how much meat I consume. Personally I love steak, and burger every so often, but wouldn’t want to be 100% vegan at this moment. So what I’ll do is try and have meat only with one meal. It’s intuitive eating. Guess the point I’m trying get at is personally I feel better overall eating meat more specifically red meat in moderation. Give it try folks, let me know how you feel. I remember when I first started experimenting with “red meat in moderation” it was so difficult. I began to crave it, and I would just go that tbh. When I craved it I hate it. However only once a week. I typically will do 8-12 of steak or ground beef or double patty burger no fries of course ;) with spinach or broccoli. After I simply just go back to fish protein and white meat and and different source of plants, beans and so to meet protein requirements. This allows me to just the right amount of energy for workouts and not feel bogged down, and maintain a strong healthy physique. Included in the slides above are also some great beginner mobility drills and exercises some of which are my favorites! Give them a try all you need is five minutes. These mobility stretches have shown to improve energy, posture, and last but not least flexibility.
