It\u2019s time for you to meet Judit, our latest addition to the personal trainer team<\/a> in EVO Vienna Berggasse<\/a>. Her specialty is functional strength training.<\/strong> It\u2019s her belief that this type of workout can do wonders to your everyday life. Here she is to tell us a bit about herself and her work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: Hi there, Judit. Welcome to EVO! Start by telling us a bit about yourself. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hi, my name is Judit, and I am a personal trainer at\nEVO Berggasse. I\u2019ve been a sports fan forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That enthusiasm is even on my name. You see, my surname is “Stroj” which means machine in Slovenian. It’s in the name, you know? And the fact is that I always wanted to become better, faster and stronger. Easy runs turned into running trails; classic Yoga suddenly became Hot Yoga, and simple bodyweight exercises performed in my living room grew into this passion I have for strength training. Currently, I include Crossfit in my training because I like the mixture of weightlifting, gymnastics and conditioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Why did you decide to work at EVO?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EVO’s philosophy<\/a> reflects my own beliefs and training methods. I aim to motivate people for fitness and help them improve their overall life quality through movement and a healthy lifestyle. EVO offers everything you need for excellent training: a beautiful studio with high-quality equipment<\/a> and an extraordinary training atmosphere that is created by the people who work and train at EVO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: You mentioned that you’re a big fan of strength training. Can you explain to us why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being strong means being more self-confident and\nindependent. Strength training teaches me to be more patient and consistent\nwhen reaching for a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are general guidelines that help me become\nstronger. However, no all-round formula works in the same way for everyone.\nThat\u2019s what fascinates me about strength training. That\u2019s also the reason why\ncoaching makes so much sense.  Because we\nare all individuals and our training should be too – adapted to each one\npersonally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: For those not so familiar with this topic, can you briefly tell us the differences between strength training, bodybuilding and resistance training?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sure, I\u2019ll divide the three topics to make it easier, ok? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resistance Training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is basically any exercise that causes the muscle to contract against any given external resistance such as free weights, elastic resistance bands, any weight machines or even your body weight. <\/strong>Resistance training aims to increase strength, hypertrophy, power and \/ or endurance. Therefore, strength training and hypertrophy training are part of resistance training and can be well combined in a training program or workout (as I did in the workout below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strength Training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Strength is the ability to produce force. When performing strength training our nervous system determines how many muscles fire and how they adapt to your fitness training. So, if you want to become stronger, you need to increase resistance. In other words, you need to lift heavier weights over time with a well-considered progression, which your coach should provide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By general definition strength training consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
