One of the features is a change in the plan and mode of training, which occurs every few months, which prevents the body from adapting to current loads and always supports the effectiveness of classes.
To create this system, a number of specialists of various profiles were involved, among whom were athletes, doctors, physical education teachers and professional psychologists.
This training program is part of a more global system called Iron System.
It includes 2 main directions:
- Hot iron It is a training system using mini-bars, recommended for beginners, as it includes several different courses, including the basic one. The primary goal is to increase endurance and prepare for more difficult exercises, but in parallel with this, it allows you to get rid of excess weight and generally tighten the figure. The training process itself takes place to the music and according to a predefined schedule. Traditionally, the instructor supervises the classes, and the first 3 months they are held unchanged, the lesson plan is updated every quarter.
- Iron cross is a more advanced system that is designed for people with good training and already perfectly coping with Hot Iron. The schedule update is identical to Hot Iron, but the weight of the rods is significantly increased. The main goal of training is to build an athletic physique, since it is assumed that endurance and other important characteristics have already been developed in previous courses. Muscle growth occurs simultaneously with a significant increase in energy expenditure..
Kinds
Although Iron is also divided into different types, the main criterion for the division is the complexity of classes that are designed for people with different levels of training:
- Hot iron 1 is a basic program for beginners, it is designed for people with minimal training, who have not yet managed to put their physical form in order. The system includes the simplest strength exercises, with which the development of endurance begins. During classes, mini-rods and special kits designed for removable scales are actively used. Weights are usually selected individually, since it should correspond to the level of training of a particular person, but gradually its indicators increase. Upon reaching the maximum performance in this course, it is recommended to move on to the next system included in the Hot Iron.
- Hot iron 2 It is recommended for people who have been engaged in the basic program for 3-5 months, since it is assumed that during this time, their physical form should have undergone positive changes. The training program adds exercises that involve most of the joints, including push-ups, squats of varying difficulty and combined options for lunges. Such exercises can further accelerate the process of burning excess calories, since at this stage even the smallest muscles begin to be involved..
- Iron body is a classic strength training without any specific features.
- Hot iron advanced It is also a variant of the classic version of strength training, but it is intended for people with a certain training, so they do not need basic exercises and are ready to immediately begin classes with considerable weight.
- Iron back It is a specific course that was created specifically for people with scoliosis or having other problems with the spine, which imposes a number of restrictions on participation in strength training. Such exercises have a positive effect on posture, and also help strengthen muscles in the back..
