Mastermoves
is a core strength training system, focusing on strength and
tone in the abdominals, obliques and lower back. Although
primarily a resistance and stretching workout, similar to
some forms of yoga and pilates, Master Moves does result in
a healthy calorie burn.
What make this training quite unique and effective is the
"hips rotation" that you get from the Master Disk
exercises. By using circular movement, literally, you will
dance your body into shape. The practice of Mastermoves requires
only your body, instructional videos and 3 portable training
tools.
Contrary
to traditional ABS exercise, based on sit-ups and crunches,
low-intensity training like Mastermoves will help you develop
and maintain a healthy and fit body based on relaxation, flexibility,
breathing, speed, coordination, endurance and body strengthening.
How
Many Calories Are Burned Using Mastermoves?
Mastermoves
has 3 level of Core Training - beginner, intermidiate and
advance. The beginner and intermediate levels focus on building
muscle rather than burning calories or increasing heart rate.
The advance level focuses on burning calories or increasing
heart rate
Typically, a
medium-intensity session with Mastermoves (15 minutes) burns
about 200 calories for a 155-lb. person. Heavier people will
burn more in the same workout, and lighter people will burn
less. According to Walter Willett of the Harvard School of
Public Health, a body burns more calories in all activities
in proportion to how much muscle that body carries. Thus,
the more Mastermoves workouts you complete, the more calories
the next workout will burn.

Do
I need to do crunches and sit-ups?
Everybody
agrees that sculpted, 'Six Pack' AB muscles look great and
keep your body in shape and healthy. But the amount of money
and time people waste on useless ABS exercises is brutal.
Most torture their bodies with endless crunches and many other
ABS exercises, but the results from this training is not sustainable.
Most people after few years of painful crunches routines abandon
this training because they eventually injure their neck or
back.
The
truth is, every one of those ABS exercises that I just mentioned,
will NOT help you have a lasting slim body and good CORE MUSCLES.
EVERY one of these ABS exercises were designed for ARM FORCES
training, and will only help you strengthen your ABS muscles.
But the amount of time people waste on ab exercises (thousand
of sit-ups and crunches)...please!
When
core muscles count, Master Moves is the best option. We are
experts in core muscles development. We deliver the most effective
fitness programs for individuals / organizations looking for
high performance and optimal productivity. We provide exceptional
fitness services and we will do whatever it takes to achieve
your fitness goals.
What
is the important of core strength?
Did
you know that very movement you make is initiated from your
abdominal muscles? Observe any elite athlete, dancer, or gymnast,
and you’ll see a strong core. Look at any good leader
or individual with good posture, and you have an example of
good musculature working correctly.
Countless
studies have demonstrated that the lack of core muscle strength
makes people susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain
and muscle injuries. On the other hand, core muscle strength
provides the brace of support needed to move your body with
power and balance - helping prevent back pain and injuries.
Strong
abdominal muscles will not only reward you with good posture,
they’ll also help your squash or tennis game, golf swing,
or simply help you to perform your daily tasks better. That's
why the abdominal muscles (abs) are called your core muscles.
What

I'm
78 years old. Can I can practice Master Moves?
Anyone
can practice Mastermoves. Senior people can practice Body
Conditioning the rest of their lives. Children can do most
of the exercises, especially Body Flexibility and Body Coordination.
People of any weight can begin with the Body Toning program
and gradually practice all the Mastermoves programs. And for
people in good shape, Body Endurance and Body Strength are
the ideal programs.
Instead
of laboring for hours on the stair master or the tread mill,
with the Mastermoves low-intensity exercises you can lose
weight without breaking a sweat.
Rather
than having to drive to the gym and then wait for machines,
you can do the Mastermoves exercise routines in the comfort
of your living room for a fraction of the time.
Instead
of feeling tired and drained after a gym workout, your 15
minute Mastermoves practices will leave you refreshed and
charged with energy.
What
tools do I need to practice Master Moves?
Most
of the exercises are performed with the help of two simple
tools - the Master Disk, the Focus Bar, which come with
the Basic Master Moves package.
Crafted
from durable hardwood, these products are not only 100%
natural and safe to use but also aesthetically appealing
so you can keep them in your living room.
The
Master Tools are also small enough so you can take them
with you to your office or even your hotel room if you are
traveling. OK Initiatives, Inc. ensures 5 year warranty
on the Master Tools.
What
is the maximum user weight recommended?
We recommend a maximum user weight of 350 pounds (160 kilos).
At Mastermoves we pride ourselves on our durable, safe products
so although the maximum user weight recommended is 350 pounds
(160 kilos), the Power Disk is load tested to 500 pounds
(227 kilos) to ensure they will not break under normal usage
conditions.
What
is the maintenance required for the training tools?
Your
Disk should always look new so that you can display it as
a beautiful item in your home, office or anywhere you travel.
Keep your Master Disk in good condition and it will make
you appreciate it and use it often. Maintain your Master
Disk monthly as follows:
Lubricate the bearing plate with bearing grease. Use an
old toothbrush to apply the grease to the center of the
plate. This will keep the Master Disk rotating smoothly
by reducing friction between its moving parts.
Clean your Disk by gently rubbing a small amount of body
lotion or furniture oil on the surface. Use a dry soft,
cotton cloth.
How
to lubricate the Master Disk?
You
can use bearing oil or grease to stop squeaking sounds and
protect the metal parts of your Disk. Ideally you should
use any bearing grease to help loosen your Disk and prevent
rust. This maintenance is required every 3 months. To effectively
apply the grease in the bearings, use an old toothbrush.
How
to unlock the Master Disk when it does not rotate?
The
Master Disk is built with a heavy duty bearing plate. Sometimes,
if you don't use the Master Disk often, the bearings may
stick making the Master Disk rotation stiff. If this happens,
please follow these 3 steps:
Lubricate
the bearings with oil or grease for bearings and let it
sit for 15 minutes.
Place
the Master Disk on the floor
Bending
on your knees, rest your palms on the Master Disk and lean
on it.
Transfer
your upper body weight onto the top of the Master Disk then
rotate the top of the disk from side to side until it loosens.
What
are the meal plans or diets suggested in the practices of
Core Training?
Apart
from exercise routines, the Mastermoves system also includes
healthy eating plans - natural, wholesome recipes, organized
and designed to have a twofold purpose.
Detoxification:
to eliminate toxins and bring your body back into balance
by improving your immune system, improving circulation and
ensuring your body has all the energy it requires to maintain
health.
Nutrition:
to eat a wide variety of healthy good that will make you
feel good and maintain your energy levels throughout the
day. You will be amazed at the difference changing your
daily diet will make to your overall sense of well-being.
Why
most people need a fitness trainers?
Simply because most people lack the self-discipline
to stick with a program longer than a couple of months,
usually because they are easily bored, or not getting results
quickly enough. In my opinion, any fitness program that
promises lasting result in less that 3 months is just a
fad.
Why
most people fail at their fitness goals and give up?
Simply
because they have misidentified their goals. They have set
unrealistic goals. People set goals such as “I want
to lose weight” without considering the the 3 fundamental
steps: daily exercises, proper hydration and natural food.
Most people take shortcuts such pills and suplements.
Viewing healthy nutrition, proper hydration and daily exercises
as a temporary solution to a temporary problem is what leads
most people into the yo-yo dieting cycle. The loss of muscle
when dieting, coupled with a gaining of fat when not dieting,
can have serious affects on one’s metabolism. And it
can also leave us dissatisfied, softer, and more disappointed
in ourselves than ever.
How
to set you fitness goals?
Simply
changing some of the messages we give ourselves can change
our approach to fitness, and make it easier for us to achieve
real success—long term success. People have a difficult
time identifying the changes in their behavior and routine
that they must make. But this is where one must start.
One
of the biggest problems all new students face is how to
be disciplined and exercise daily. Don't let this worry
you for now. A whole module is devoted to set your mind
and commit yourself to your fitness goals and your tutor
will advise you as needed throughout your training.
We show you: how to set your mind for your fitness success;
how to eliminate toxins from your body; how to plan your
meal; when to exercise; how and when to use mental relaxation
and how to deal with those days that you a not in a mood
to do what it takes to be success.

leader.
What
are your advantage with MASTERMOVES Core Training?
MASTERMOVES
uses the same methods and exercises as dancers, athletes
and top fitness experts. We combined the best elements of
Martial Arts, Yoga, Gymnastics, Dancing and Body Massage
to bring you the ultimate fitness program - simple and very
effective.
The
MASTERMOVES fitness programs consist of relaxing exercises
designed to tone your body and develop your flexibility,
strength, endurance, coordination and speed. The exercises
are performed with the help of two simple tools - the Master
Disk and the Master Rod. In addition you can include the
Master Massager for body relaxation and flexibility.
The
beautiful tools are crafted from a highly durable hardwood;
these products are attractive, safe, and portable to take
with you just about anywhere - home, work and trips.
How
to start your Core Training program?
All
too often, we start off a fitness, diet, and lifestyle change
routine in a big way, and then quickly burnout, overwhelmed
by all the change.
Fitness
and Health does NOT have to be an “all or nothing”
proposition. Why start exercising and eating right and stopping
drinking all at the same time? For those of us who have
been inactive and careless about our eating habits over
a long period of time, what makes us think that we will
be able to completely change the routine of our lives and
maintain that for any length of time?
Instead
of starting out in a big way, and then burning out, we suggest
that you implement the 28-Day detoxification program and
do small changes over the course of three months. Commit
to only increasing your water intake the first week. Then
add another small change, like cutting back on late-night
snacks. The next week, you may decide to stop drinking or
smoking, and after that you can begin to cut out fatty meats,
or reduce caffeine intake, etc. If you do this, you will
be much more likely to follow through, maintain your good
habits, and will feel less deprived and punished.
What
is the strategy for achieving fitness success?
Introduce
one small change per week, and the lifestyle changes that
you desire will happen, and will last for a lifetime.
Under
the guidance of an experienced fitness trainer, you will
achieve your fitness goals. The assignments are designed
to give you a variety of natural exercises to do. The exercises
are appropriate for any of the fitness goals you want to
achieve (flexibility, coordination, endurance, strength
or speed.)
You
will also receive advice on how to:
Relax
mentally and physically
Organize
your meal plans
Become
a fitness trainer
Improve
your overall health & fitness
If you are interested we can also explain how you can improve
your vitality and beauty, and how to avoid the common errors
and mistakes that many people make when they begin MASTERMOVES.
Your
tutor will encourage you with objective, realistic and constructive
comments. Through this firm but gentle approach many students
come to know their tutor as a trusted friend.
All
of our tutors are successful fitness experts. Each person
has the experience learned only through specialized training
