About
Shah Training is devoted to helping individuals exercise with limited time and limited equipment.
From the busy professional to the overwhelmed stay-at-home mom to the stressed college student, we all wish that there was some way that we could improve our energy levels, reduce stress, and live a life that is both healthy and satisfying.
My name is Parth Shah, and I started ShahTraining.com in February of 2007 as a place to share my thoughts on fitness and healthy living. However, there was a problem with doing this. I myself was not very healthy. At a bodyfat level of over 25%, I ate fast food on a regular basis, drank soda excessively, and drew most of my energy from coffee and energy drinks.I am now under 15% bodyfat, and have sworn off of fast food.
Lifestyle change is difficult, but it is possible. I have learned a variety of techniques and training methods that has taken me from an average joe to an athlete. My goal is to share my fitness experiences with all that read this website, so that you may be able to make the lifestyle changes you need to make for a better, healthier life.
Let me start off by walking you through the core principles that make up my life philosophy:
80/20 Principle – states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the efforts. In fitness terms, this means that 20% of the exercises you perform and methods you employ are giving you 80% of the results. Your job is to find that 20%.
Parkinson’s Law – states that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In fitness terms, if you allot 2 hours for a workout, your workout will last two hours, but it may not be as effective or efficient as a workout lasting just 20 minutes. To cut the “fat” so to speak, attempt to steadily decrease the length of a workout.
Mental Strength - is the degree to which your mind can sustain internal and external stress. In fitness terms, this means pushing yourself to the maximum. The only way you can do this is by performing workouts that are seemingly impossible, but not so impossible that they put you at risk for injury. Constantly challenge yourself.
Practice – a method of learning by repetition. Practice is consistency and passion to achieve a desired objective.
Recovery – to regain ones fitness level after a workout, or during a workout. It is vital to nourish the body with proper nutrition so that it’s performance may consistently improve. Recovery abilities during a particular workout are just as important as between workout recovery.
