KATHY BROUSSARD
Trainer
My passion for health and fitness started when I was teenager. I’ve been instructing dance fitness classes since 1980 and received my personal training certification in 1995. I have always seen noticeable fitness benefits from strength training; however, most people, including myself, have difficulty fitting time into their schedules to effectively and consistently weight train at a gym. In 2006, I was introduced to isometric training. Through my personal experience, I saw that it was indeed possible to improve muscle definition, strength and bone density in only a few minutes per week. I was totally hooked! That same year I founded Rapid Power Training with the goal of giving my busy clients a quick and effective alternative to gym weight training. Over the last several years, I’ve seen the measurable changes Rapid Power Training has made in my client’s fitness levels. I look forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals.

The Workout
Rapid Power Training (RPT) is based on three laws
of human muscle growth:
1
2
3
Muscles grow faster and more completely when given sufficient time off to rebuild. Muscle tissue is broken down during your workout. Muscle GROWTH actually occurs when you are at rest. Many people unknowingly hinder muscle growth by working out too often and not giving their muscles time to fully repair.
How Rapid Power Training Differs from Conventional Training
No weights are used. A bar is adjusted to the position of your strongest range of motion for each exercise & you push or pull with maximum effort for as long as you can (typically 8-10 seconds). When you’re finished, a meter displays the highest resistance number you achieved. You will perform each exercise only one time. Your goal is to exceed that number on your next workout.
Less frequent workouts. When you first begin you’ll work out every 3 days. After a few weeks you’ll work out every 6 days, then every 9 days, and so on. Increasing the intensity requires that you also increase your recovery time, so your workouts will be spaced farther and farther apart over time.
​
Short workouts. Your entire workout will take no more than 10 minutes, including warm up and instruction.
That’s it!
Easy on joints. Since you are not lifting weights up and down, there is no range of motion involved. This eliminates the stress to your joints that many people find with weight lifting.

Rapid power training (RPT) FAQ's
Who is the typical RPT client?
Age: Age is not a factor. My clients have ranged from 15-92 years old!
Gender: Gender is not a factor. I have trained both men and women.
Fitness level: Fitness level is not a factor. Isometric training takes each person from their current strength and builds from that point.
Physical limitations: Isometric training is ideal for those with no limitations as well as those with most joint limitations. There is no joint motion involved in performing the exercises. So instead of wearing down your joints, it strengthens the connective tissues around the joints. As a result, many clients ultimately gain better joint stability.

Will RPT help me lose weight?
Muscle is the secret weapon in the war against fat! However, you must have realistic expectations. When you first begin training you may not lose actual “weight on the scale” because you’ll add muscle. Over time, however, adding muscle will positively change your body composition by increasing your metabolism (the rate at which you burn calories throughout the day). Instead of a quick fix, look for ongoing long-term progress that is sustainable, enjoyable and realistic for the rest of your life.
I’m a woman who wants to look toned, but not too muscular. Will this work for me?
Guess what? There is no such thing as “toning” a muscle. Muscles either get larger, smaller or stay the same size. What we refer to as “muscle toning” is achieved by increasing the muscle size while shedding some fat on top of the muscle, if needed. Women do not have the genetics or hormones necessary to build huge muscles. The freaky masculinity you see in body builders on tv and in magazines is most likely achieved through drugs and years of fanatical exercise. There is zero danger that you will suddenly and unexpectedly look “too muscular.”
What part does nutrition play in my visible results?
Let me state it simply: RPT can give you “six pack abs”, but if there are several layers of fat on top of them, you’ll never see them. You cannot expect to continue eating the same foods that got you a jelly belly and rely on RPT or any other strength training program to magically melt all the fat away. You must be willing to take an honest look at what you’re eating and make some dietary changes along with it. Through RPT you’ll still add muscle whether you change your food choices or not. However, the best and quickest visible results are achieved through adding proper nutrition to the mix.
Will aerobic workouts interfere with my results?
No, unless the aerobic training is very intense, such as training for a marathon. Aerobic exercise is an important part of overall health, fitness, and well-being. Aerobic training and strength training complement each other, yet there are differences in what they accomplish. Aerobic training, by itself, will give you a smaller version of exactly how you look now. Strength training can change your entire shape and proportions by increasing lean muscle mass.
NUTRITION
I could spend the next 3 days talking non-stop about the importance of nutrition and the best foods to eat for overall health and weight loss, but let me give it to you in a nutshell. To get the best results, you need to eat as clean as possible. What do I mean by “eating clean?” Here are some basic guidelines for melting fat away:
-
Eat lots of plants. Eat fresh plants you can envision as having just been picked from a vine, tree, plant or bush. Stay away from canned or packaged plants. They have been stripped of their nutritional value by the food companies! Most of your carbohydrates should come from plants instead of processed foods.Try to eat one nice-sized salad per day.
-
Eat what you can pronounce. Read food labels on any processed food you are considering buying. If you find a long list of ingredients you can’t pronounce, it is laden with chemicals that will slow down fat loss, no matter what the calorie count. Speaking of chemicals, avoid foods labeled “low fat” or “no fat”, which really means, “Sure, we took the fat out, but we added extra sugar and chemicals to make it taste better!”
-
Eat as little white as possible. By white, I mean sugar, white flour, and the foods they are found in. Sugar and white flour are huge fat-storing foods! Many people are sensitive to dairy products as well.
-
Eat healthy oils such as virgin coconut oil, olive oil, omega 3’s, nuts and avocados. These are fat-burning oils. Most other oils (vegetable, sunflower, safflower, corn, canola, etc.) are heavily refined, unhealthy fat-storing oils.
-
Eat plenty of good quality protein. Most of us typically do well with carbohydrates and fat, but we often lack protein, especially in the early part of the day, like at breakfast and lunch. Protein is an important piece to muscle-building, and it can also help curb your appetite. When eaten throughout the day, it keeps us feeling full longer. Although some meat is fine, protein doesn’t always have to be meat. Other sources such as eggs, beans, nuts, nut butters, quinoa, and hemp seeds (just to name a few) are great alternatives.
-
Eat small portions every few hours. Ideally, include a protein, vegetable or fruit, and a healthy fat each time. This keeps your blood sugar at an even level, which inhibits fat storage.
-
Cook at home. Sorry, but it is next to impossible to eat clean if you eat out a lot. Most restaurant meals are high in sugar, chemicals and unhealthy oils, and eventually show up on our body as fat. When you cook from scratch, YOU choose exactly what will go into your body and you’ll be able to shed fat MUCH quicker.
If your dietary habits are a far cry from this right now, don’t beat yourself up or try to make all these changes at once. Now it’s great if you can do that! But I find that little changes at a time build on each other and are generally more sustainable. Pick one change you need to make and when you feel comfortable with that, add another.

Gina N: “The results I saw within the first 2 weeks were more than those I had seen in years of lifting weights & working out. I’m hooked!”
Allison S: “I am thrilled with my results! I am a runner who hates lifting weights. Not only has RPT boosted my endurance in running, but I’m seeing muscle definition in my arms & stomach like I have never seen before!”
Sharon G: "After 6 months my muscle tone has greatly increased. I actually have definition in my arms, back, & waist. Even my “bad” knees have improved & are not as bothersome as before. My lower back does not hurt as it used to. I have never had anything work so well for me – ever!”
Derrick S: “I have been working with people in pain for over 7 years, & at the same time, working with my own chronic low back pain for the past 18 years. I learned about Kathy & RPT Training with the hopes of reducing my workout time & eventually offering another approach for my chronic pain patients. What happened was virtually a miracle. After following the regimen for less than 3 months I noticed I no longer needed to do my maintenance routine for my low back pain. It has proven to be an extremely safe & effective way of training that everyone should include in their wellness routine. After 6 months of RPT Training, I continue to see strength improvements beyond what I would have ever imagined.”
Nina S: “After 1 year of RPT Training, my bone density score was up by 0.2 on every single measurement over last year (hip, spine, & forearm). That was amazing to me!”
Maggie R: “When I began RPT Training I had post menopausal, middle age spread, along with the force of gravity taking hold of my 60 year old body. In the past 6 months my overall strength has increased dramatically. In addition, I’ve lost several inches. RPT Training has been a life changing experience for me. My body thanks you!”
Wannie O: “When I recently bought a new bathing suit, the sales lady was very complimentary of my body. She said I have great muscles everywhere and that my stomach is all muscle. RPT has truly changed the shape of my body! An added bonus is that my bone density has improved this year. I couldn’t be happier!”
Chris S: “Not only do I feel stronger & more stable, I love the fact that it happens in just a few minutes a month!”
Ann G: “I no longer have a “fat” section & a “skinny” section of clothes in my closet. I now only wear the skinny clothes! People comment that I must work out ALL THE TIME to have the shape & muscles I have. When I tell them how short & infrequent my workouts are, they are amazed!”
Julie P: “Thank you for my ripped arms! My friends & boyfriend are starting to see my results. I feel great!”
Kim S: “After one year, I feel better than I have in my whole life. I have more muscle definition & am picking up heavy things in our house without any difficulty. My husband is amazed at my strength & tells me I am looking younger, too!”
Chris R: “Not only do I look better & my clothes fit better, but my metabolism has gotten a real boost as I’ve been able to keep weight off much easier than ever before!”
