We’ve found being aware and fully engaged throughout the entire move results in fewer chances of injuries and better overall results and performance. Instead of ‘going to a happy place’ or other focus-drift tactics, we show our clients how to lean into the work and push towards intensity. This intensity is further enabled by routines that build muscle engagement using coordinated body blocks that allow little to no rest between moves or blocks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/77e68077-d714-41d4-af14-83c6d5576a38/IMG_20191207_134442-ANIMATION.gif IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - The IMC Approach - Thoughtful Choreography with Fast Transitions All sessions incorporate thoughtful choreography with fast transitions designed to maintain a high heart rate. We combine moves that allow rotation through the body’s musculature ensuring focused, proper muscle engagement without over-training or excessive repetition. In addition, we don’t just write individual classes, we write class ‘flights’: groups of classes designed to be taken sequentially, further ensuring balanced, controlled training, and reducing the chance of overtraining or injury. In addition, we support and enable the student using technology to enhance their experience and provide better results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/0a8e396d-e996-4641-afd4-2de0b4e8f535/vlcsnap-2023-03-18-10h50m25s961-edited.png IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - The IMC Approach - Our Studio is Wired! It can be creepy to have a trainer circle you like a lion—but it is necessary to ensure proper form; and no one can achieve “God-Mode” line of sight, unless you employ many cameras at different angles. The trainer can watch all feeds in real time while also capturing the routine digitally for more complete post-workout form review. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/7234542f-b552-41f7-8329-1508e1351779/OHCam+Angle.png IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - The IMC Approach - Overhead camera Shows an invaluable overhead view for the most complete look at the body- in-motion as a whole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/1a944598-5cf8-4552-a947-ad31103aab05/20220323_093314.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - The IMC Approach - Empowering and Enabling Technology Multiple Monitors display the routine choreography allowing the client to see the routine and timing from anywhere on the machine. We feature a fixed clock with a fixed transition time between each move. The goal is not only to provide the motivation to ‘beat the clock’, effectively gaining more time in each move, but it’s also to teach how to transition between moves more safely; this can be a useful metric to identify where the client has issues in transitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/f28f8f12-314b-4386-91ce-73aded591e6d/Rear_Cam+Angle.png IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - The IMC Approach - Rear-Facing Camera Demonstrates hip and shoulder imbalances and captures back of the machine details. https://imicroclinic.com/blog-four-count/finding-fitness-at-56 monthly 0.5 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/98cd6731-d6b7-48ce-b8f2-10713471dc4d/Hallowween_2016.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - Halloween 2016 Little Red Riding Hood and “Grandma” Wolf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/18e49e80-d60b-4b4a-b82a-75f04ad9d2e8/20210819_131436.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - ….Both Studios Hanging Air Plant Installation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/2a41fd34-36a3-4b06-b5f4-0d6c37a8bd2d/IMG_20200514_124344.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - May 2020 And, second surgery; disc replacements did not work; removed and C4-6 fused Note: Mega was instrumental in my rehab and recovery—true for all my surgeries, but this one in particular https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/ff590986-b06b-47d7-a086-a645c4392bfc/Tony_Kerri_Before_Bday.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - How It Started: Celebrating Kerri’s 50th February 27th, 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/7ea5cb10-730c-4cfa-82b6-c73ee2aa69f7/IMG_20200625_102538048.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - April 2020 A winging scapula: a symptom of bigger issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/b819bf51-e6f2-4d22-b488-a4a80068f06d/Sunglass_Promo+%281%29.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - August 2020 IMC Outdoor Studio Opens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/01ce6e91-c281-475a-a8e1-7796ae0ba6f6/20220306_104625.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - February, 2022 We’re Floridians, of course we shuffleboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/95bc75cd-2e44-44ca-bd1b-485c14d9a44c/MVIMG_20190630_125155.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Fit at 57: How it Started, How it’s Going - Progress Snapshot: Summer 2020 Weight in photo: 165 Goal Weight: 160.

These moves morph the body through different poses, forming blocks and sequences, that elegantly rotate through the body’s musculature more akin to Tai Chi or Yoga. But unlike those modalities that rely on the students’ body weight only, we perform these sequences on a Mega or Micro adding the weight of the carriage, the tension of the springs, and balance as a factor. These factors amplify the work, and when done correctly, amplify the Heart Rate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63f137c6a1ab1979c12d0ea3/61218de5-7f7f-4fc2-ba2a-956ca7d8cabe/welcome-clinic-tony-HRM-1-1920.jpg IMC Blog -- The Four Count: Notes from a Lagree Trainer - Make Your Fitbit Fear You Lagree Method creator, Sebastien Lagree likened it to being chased by a tiger: you recruit and engage so many muscles and stress the body to the point it thinks you are in an emergent situation: your heart is pounding at a high rate, you’re shaking, and out of breath.

(we’ll go into detail on this point in a later installment) make sure there is a barrier between you and the ground in any public space: Certain strains of Hepatitis can be transferred from material left days previous–protect yourself: Wear shoes that provide basic foot protection or use a thick mat or other barrier placed between the Micro and the ground that you step on.

But too much, and you’re suddenly on a Supra questioning life. Using incline to add to your workout can be amazing, but unless it is intentional, too much incline will lead most to break-outs, a low-heart rate session and frustration.
