Concept 10 10 takes on tennis for a win
A powerful swing in just minutes, that’s what Pernille Albrechtsen gets out of her Concept 10 10 training.
Albrechtsen’s tennis team won for the first time in years at a tournament held at the Dunes Tennis Club, located in the North Naples community where she lives.
Albrechtsen, now a local 2012 season tennis champ, has only been playing tennis at the Dunes for about two years. She did not play the sport at all prior to joining up with her tennis partner Gail Tipito with the Collier Tennis Association.
Pernille and her husband Jorgen Albrechtsen were opening the Concept 10 10 location at the same time she was getting started in the game. The club was set up and operational for the second season of tennis.
Pernille Albrechtsen started working out at Concept 10 10 for 20 minutes about every five to seven days– soon it was even less than 20 minutes per session as her weight was maximized on several of the six machines. Learn about those workout specifics here.
“I’m faster on the court. I can move around and I don’t get tired. Now, I’m stronger than the other girls are. I don’t get injuries the way the other girls do, but I did the first year,” she said.
Albrechtsen suffered a hamstring injury that she attributes in-part to jumping into the game without building up the proper strength.
“You’re not getting stronger playing tennis at the level we’re playing. You’re standing still. Then, when you set off to run after the ball, you’re more likely to get injured,” she said.
Albrechtsen isn’t taking that risk anymore. She admits with a laugh that there are days she wishes the leg press were broken. Despite the fact that it takes only about three minutes or less on each machine, it is tough.
“I know I have to do Concept 10 10 High Intensity Training because it gives me the strength, the power. The better you are at those hard, deep strokes, the opponents can’t take it.”
Another great advantage to her game was that lingering frequent bouts of back pain were alleviated by strength training on the lower back machine at Concept 10 10.
Pernille has always been active. She’s a certified aerobics instructor, fitness trainer and trained more than 200 other aerobics instructors. She also played badminton and handball, her favorite for years. She has the greatest strength of her life because of Concept 10 10.

December blog: Little things to big things, Concept 10 10 makes travel, life easier
Susan Kniffen started working out at Concept 10 10 in May, not long after she first read about the unique program in è Bella magazine.
“I was interested in the concept of it all,” Susan said.
The former Upstate New York resident decided to visit the North Naples fitness center for a free one-session trial.
“I was very impressed with the whole setup,” Susan said. “I was attracted to the cleanliness. It wasn’t anything like a gym. I don’t like gyms,” she said.
While the first session led to her purchasing more sessions, which never expire and require no contract, she said it took a couple more workouts to see just how beneficial it was.
“For me, working out isn’t a social thing. It’s something I need to accomplish,” Susan said.
“I want to maintain my physique somewhat– no, a lot,” said the 56-year-old.
She knew weight training should have always been a component of her fitness regimen, but until Concept 10 10, that was an area of physical fitness she lacked.
“I would not do this in a gym and that’s the only other place I’d likely be around weight training,” Susan said. Previously, she took swim and aerobic or dance-type exercise classes.
“The time commitment to this is key,” she said of the 20-minute, once-a-week session. “It’s intense, but very brief.”
Muscle tone became visible in fewer than five sessions, with exceptional results now that she’s more than six months into doing Concept 10 10, Susan said.
“My legs, arms, torso, my abs,” she says with her eyes widening. “I haven’t been able to do that as quickly with any other measures,” Susan said.
While big muscles groups are an obvious bonus, Susan says it’s the little things that also improved with Concept 10 10. Listen to Susan’s story on how Concept 10 10 affected her travels and other areas of life here. Susan Kniffen: \”The little things can make a big difference\”

Working out shouldn’t be a pain in the neck
Tracye Zlobl spent too much time in the doctor’s office. Sure, Tracye is a doctor, but still, enough was enough.
Dr. Tracye Zlobl is a 52-year-old OB/GYN practicing in Naples. She has enjoyed physical fitness almost her entire life. That was until earlier this year when neck and upper back pain left her unable to workout as frequently as she would like for nearly six months.
She was spending thousands of dollars and dozens of hours in other clinicians’ offices. Changing her fitness routine from Pilates to Concept 10 10, saved her the hassle of spending all that time and money at the physical therapist’s, chiropractor’s and acupuncturist’s offices.
“I would get a little bit better, go back to Pilates, and re-injure myself,” Dr. Zlobl said of the frustrating cycle she had found herself in prior to Concept 10 10.
Now, however, Zlobl’s sessions of deep tissue massage are precipitated only by an appreciation for relaxation—not by any literal pain in the neck.

Zlobl learned about Concept 10 10 from a friend, a woman who is her client and used to do Pilates with her. Almost immediately the lack of impact and contact involved in Concept 10 10 attracted Zlobl. The relatively short time commitment of just 20 minutes each week was also appealing for the busy doctor.
Zlobl started with a free trial. She liked the cleanliness and set up of the fitness club. Her trainer, Peter, was professional and made her feel comfortable.
It was enough to attract her to buy a few more sessions. However, it wasn’t until her third week, or third session, that she was completely sold on it, she said. In total she worked out with Concept less than an hour at that point and saw more muscle tone and experienced more strength gain than at any of the multitude of exercise studios she experimented with over the years.
“Concept 10 10 literally saved me time and money,” she said.

Prevent unwanted pregnancy weight gain and pain with Concept 10 10
It’s not only OK to remain physically fit during pregnancy it’s necessary for the health of mom and baby.
Concept 10 10 provides all the benefits of working out during pregnancy without any of the risks, said Jorgen Albrechtsen, founder and developer of Concept 10 10.
A baby’s growth puts pressure on the mother’s hips, butt and back. When you exercise at Concept 10 10 during pregnancy, you improve your posture and get your back, hip, and butt muscles in shape, thus reducing back pain.
Naples resident, Andrea Compton can attest to this. The 30 year old mom is about 8 months pregnant with her second son. Her first pregnancy came with intense, nearly constant back pain. Trying to avoid pain again, Andrea signed up at Concept 10 10 about 6 months ago, and is now experiencing the benefits not only of building visible muscle tone, but also decreasing back pain. “I can only attribute it to Concept 10 10,” she said. Working full time and being mom to Preston, (1 year old), Andrea is pressed for time, with Concept 10 10’s 20 minutes per week, Andrea finds it easy to fit into her schedule.
Is that short time frame a cop out for a pregnant woman. No way! It’s what all clients do to stay in optimal shape and, due to Concept 10 10’s intensity, it’s plenty.
Unlike Andrea, it’s not uncommon for pregnant women to fear injury from working out. She knows now that Concept 10 10 provides the optimal environment for expectant mothers looking to get in shape and stay in shape because of a personal, one-on-one trainer who is always present to monitor proper movement. This ensures that all exercises are slow and controlled while foregoing the impact or contact of many other sports and activities.
“Not only does Concept 10 10 present no risk of injury, it prevents risk of injury”, Jorgen said.
Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on the body, including carrying extra weight 24/7. A lot of women get permanent damage, such as varicose veins, because they are not strong enough to deal with it. Exercise prevents this.
“The worst thing you could do is do nothing thinking it’s protecting the fetus.” Jorgen said.
“You may shun away from normal sports to avoid risk of injury, but here at Concept 10 10 there is absolutely no risk of injury.”
Unlike tennis or any higher impact sport, Concept 10 10 is safe because there is no contact.
Due to the personal trainer, you won’t be left vulnerable to move in a way that could cause injury to yourself or the unborn baby.
There’s also a big difference between high-intensity and high-impact. Concept 10 10 is high-intensity, but minimal to no impact.
The benefits include an increased ease in getting back to pre-pregnancy weight and shape, particularly due to factors such as boosting the metabolism.
Regular exercise minimizes the likelihood of gaining too much weight during pregnancy, often reduces the duration of labor and frequently leads to a leaner healthy birth weight for the baby.
Pregnant women can keep up with their non-pregnant peers despite what their bodies are going through. There is only one machine that most pregnant women will find they can no longer use during the latter part of their pregnancy. The abdominal machine won’t be used about half-way into most pregnancies, Jorgen said. Please consult your doctor prior to engaging in any fitness routine.

Effect of Training Frequency and Specificity on Isometric Lumbar Extension Strength
Effect of Training Frequency and Specificity on Isometric Lumbar Extension Strength
James E. Graves, PhD, Michael L. Pollock, PhD, Dan Foster, BS, Scott H. Leggett, MS, David M. Carpenter, MS, Rosemaria Vuoso, MS, and Arthur Jones.
To investigate the effects of training frequency and specificity of training on isolated lumbar extension strength, 72 men (age = 31 ± 9 years) and 42 women (age = 28 ± 9 years) were tested before and after 12 weeks of training. Each test involved the measurement of maximum voluntary isometric torque at 72°, 60°, 48°, 36°, 24°, 12°, and 0° of lumbar flexion. After the pretraining teste, subjects were randomly stratified to groups that trained with variable resistance dynamic exercise every other week (1x/2 weeks, n = 19), once per week (1x/week, n = 22), twice per week (2x/week, n = 23) or three times per week (3x/week, n = 21); a group that trained isometrically once per week (n = 14); or a control group that did not train (n = 15). Analysis of covariance showed that all training groups improved their ability to generate isometric torque at each angle measured when compared with controls (P < 0.05).
There was no statistical difference in adjusted posttraining isometric torques among the groups that trained (P > 0.05), but dynamic training weight increased to a lesser extent (P < 0.08) for the 1 x/2 weeks group (26.6%) than for the groups that trained 1 x/week, 2x/week, and 3x/week (37.2 to 41.4%). These data indicate that a training frequency as low as 1 x/week provides an effective training stimulus for the development of lumbar extension strength. Improvements in strength noted after isometric training suggest that isometric exercise provides an effective alternative for developing lumbar strength.
A Controlled Study of 895 Consecutive Patients
The Clinical Effects of Intensive Specific Exercise on Chronic Low Back Pain:
A Controlled Study of 895 Consecutive Patients with 1 Year Follow Up
Brian W. Nelson, MD, Elizabeth O’Reilly, RN, Mark Miller*, PT, Mike Hogan, PT, Joseph A. Wegner, MD, MPH, Charles Kelly, MD
Focus on the Spine
Eight hundred ninetyfive consecutive chronic low back pain patients were evaluated. Six hundred twentyseven completed the program. One hundred sixtyone began, but dropped out, and 107 were recommended for treatment but did not undergo treatment for various reasons. Average duration of symptoms prior to evaluation was 26 months. Fortyseven percent of patients were workers’ compensation patients.
The primary treatment was intensive specific exercise using firm pelvic stabilization to isolate and rehabilitate the lumbar spine musculature.
Patients were encouraged to work hard to achieve specific goals. Seventysix percent of patients completing the program had excellent or good results.
At 1year follow up 94% of patients with good or excellent result reported maintaining their improvement. Results in the control group were significantly poorer in all areas surveyed except employment.
