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
