RE-ENGNEERING FITNESS
NEW TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES EXERCISE
INCREASED MUSCLE STIMULATION EQUALS BETTER RESULTS
BY RICHARD SIMON | COURTESY OF NEWPORT BEACH INDEPENDENT
To be sure , it ’ s unusual to have a “ punch ” line at the beginning of a story . But when you interview a former mixed martial arts ( MMA ) fighter , that ’ s only natural .
Brian Bias is COO of the Newport Beach wellness and fitness clinic Nuzuna on Bristol Street in Newport Beach .
It has been almost 10 years since
Bias , a Wellness Consultant , graduated with his Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health . He ’ s had decades of refining the techniques and technologies that help to make injured and healthafflicted patients as close to whole again as possible .
It ’ s hard to beat the basics of exercise and physical therapy , but Nuzuna has evolved a technology that is to fitness as the linear accelerator is to physics . In fact , Nuzuna calls it the “ Re-engineering of Fitness ,” through the use of a German-invented wetsuitlike garment called a Power Suit that coordinates programmable Electro Muscle Stimulation to those parts of one ’ s musculature that require special attention .
A trained therapist using a tablet-like communicator can wirelessly captain each client ’ s suit to maximize electro effects . Each client , however , indicates when the stimulation function is set at the right intensity for comfort and effect .
The suit can be worn while just sitting passively , or in coordination with an exercise regimen tailored to each individual . Bias notes that two , 20-minute sessions of Power-Driven Training ( PDT ) are the equivalent to four-to-six hours in the gym . This , says Bias , is why “ we train quite a few corporate leaders , men and women who must look good , feel good and perform well ” with too few hours in their work days .
Sometimes the suit is actually smarter than the wearer , for it can sense when the wearer is dehydrated , muscle fatigued or suffering muscle imbalance . Simply put , the suit won ’ t “ fire ,” thereby markedly decreasing chances for injury or overwork .
“ Exercise for approximately 20- minutes , two ( 2 ) times per work and achieve better results compared to
