ot getting the
body-toning
results you
want from
your gym
workouts?
It may be time
to swap some high-intensity workout
sessions for a new, low-impact
approach, believes star trainer
Stephen Pasterino. Loved by
celebrities, models and fitness
influencers, Pasterino’s famously
body-sculpting P.volve workout
method harnesses physical therapy
principles to activate and strengthen
our muscles without fatiguing them.
Working with your body not against
, the small, low-impact moves are
aid to unlock the full potential of
our muscles, pushing past annoying
tness plateaus to trim bulk and
mprove definition.

CULPT AND STRENGTHEN
hen Pasterino started working in New York, he
ticed women were coming to him unhappy that
ey were bulking up rather than getting leaner from
h-intensity workouts. Using his background in
ysical therapy, he set out to create a workout using
e-hab principles that would create a functional,
ned physique. ‘When I created the P.volve method,
y goal was to bring a fresh, safe and functional
proach that challenges each person through
riation of movement to micro-target, strengthen
d tone the entire body,’ he says. Testing it on his
ents, Pasterino started getting impressive results.

LEVER KIT
e P.volve workout uses kit including ankle bands
d hand weights, plus Pasterino’s own creations,
e P.band, a resistance band with wrist locks for
upper-body work and the P.ball, a ball and band
combo you strap between your thighs to activate
your glutes, thighs and core muscles at once. The
workouts can be accessed via the P.volve app or
online so that ‘anyone, anywhere can experience
a workout that matches a private training’, says
Pasterino. Keen to try it? We asked Pasterino to
