"With the help of Resistance Stretching, I've been able to fulfill my dreams well into my 40s."  Dara Torres, twelve time Olympic medalist swimmer and, at 41, American record breaker!

Elite athletes like Dara Torres, Olympic Gold Medalist gymnast Nastia Liukin, star outfielder Jayson Werth, NBA athlete Allan Houston and others know that performance is king.  They also know that to perform, you have to stay healthy.  That's why all of them have utilized the advantages that Ki-Hara Power Stretching has to offer.  But Ki-Hara isn't just for elite athletes.  Here's why it should be YOUR fitness system.

• ADAPTABILITY

Ki-Hara automatically adapts to the fitness level of the participant.  We've taught it to elite collegiate ahtletes, 80+ year olds, and everyone in between.  All have been amazed by KI-Hara's effectiveness.  You'll feel it immediately.

• EFFICIENCY

In conventional strength training, machines, weights, bands or your own passive body weight generate resistance, which you then overcome.  In Ki-Hara, YOU generate the resistance, as well as the force to overcome it.  Now you're working even harder!  And by using Internal Resistance, your core muscles activate to stabilize you as one side of your body works against the other.

• EFFECTIVENESS

The resistance supercharges your results.  By starting with the muscle shortened, and then forcing it to lengthen while resisting, you get a stretch through the full range of motion.  The resistance improves the muscle's strength, while the other muscles you are using to force the first muscle to stretch are getting strength trained. 

• SAFETY

The resistance stabilizes the joints and protects the muscle from strains or over-stretching.  You control every aspect of the exercise in real time, with immediate feedback.

• OPTIONS THAT CUSTOMIZE IT FOR YOU

We have stretches that address your personal needs and issues.  Use Ki-Hara to eliminate the muscle imbalances that distort your joints, restrict your mobility and range of motion, and generate pain and weakness.

Get results faster and greater than you thought possible by providing the optimal stimulus for lean muscle growth. Rid yourself of deep muscle tensions conditioned by constant stress or traumatic experiences. Stop pulling yourself apart. Condition range of motion and core stability for the rest of your life. Pair this with Optimal Breathing™ Development and rebuild yourself from the inside out.

Static stretching WEAKENS muscles. Strength and stability come from the muscle's ability to CONTRACT.

Ki Hara Power Stretching provides a great conditioning workout. The program design incorporates advanced circuit training principles as well as alternating muscle/antagonist targets that keep you in as high a level of intensity as you want. Since you control the resistance levels, intensity can range from mild rehabilitation to optimal neuromuscular strength and lean muscle mass stimulation. You are providing both the resistance and the stretch; you work two sets of muscles simultaneously. The calorie burn is obvious immediately.

Human HyperFormance and the Ki Hara System are featured in the National and regional media, including Running Times Magazine, the national how-to running publication, the Albany Times Union, the Denver Rocky Mountain News, the Orlando Sentinel, the Schenectady Gazette and others . Additionally, we are featured in  Running Times with Optimal Breathing Development. For people who take their performance and health seriously, we offer the cutting edge techniques used by the elite. Now they are available to you, too.
All sessions include advanced hydration with purified, pH balanced and permeability enhanced water, in addition to cutting edge psychoacoustic sound programming that puts you "in the zone" quickly and effortlessly, facilitating the "mind/muscle connection" and optimizing results.

"As a result of the  Stretching class, I’m getting better mentally and physically. I feel stronger and my balance is greatly improved. Flexibility, stability and range of motion are all better. I feel healthier by the minute. Peter guides me through the exercises and makes me aware of my body. I like the fact that it makes me concentrate on my breathing, too. As a caregiver, I know it’s important to take care of myself also and this is a great way to insure that I’m in shape, mentally and physically, to do what I have to do. And between the exercises and lowering my stress levels, it’s helped me to lose 8 pounds." Mary Mahoney, age 72

"Hello Peter,
Our team really benefited from your presentation on Ki-Hara.  A number of out student-athletes came forward with various issues and they all found them improved after only a few minutes of work.  We will imcorporate these techniques into our training routines and I'm sure our team will greatly benefit.  Thank you for the informative hands-on presentation and continued success."

"I am personally very pleased with the Ki-Hara program demonstrated by Peter Guare of Human HyperFormance."    Gina Castelli, Head Coach, Siena Women's Basketball  

“Peter Guare's Ki-Hara class is the most effective stretch for flexibility and pain relief that I have ever tried! Years of yoga didn't come close to the muscle tension release of just a few classes. The assisted stretching is especially effective after only one session. I like the way the exercises can be modified and individualized for the particular needs, conditions, and issues of the participants.” Karla Guererri

To Who It May Concern,
It is a pleasure to write a letter regarding my experience working with Peter Guare in his unique approach to health and wellness. As health coordinator for the district, I have the opportunity to speak and work with many individuals in the field of health and wellness. Peter’s approach to stretching, breathing, relaxing and overall wellness is unique but most importantly, it is effective.
Students benefit from the instruction and practice provided by Peter in his stretching and breathing regimen. Even those who are hesitant to try a new method find his recommendations helpful. His most successful stories with students in school focus on the relief from school and athletic-related stress. I have invited him in regularly to introduce his program to students in the Health Education classes.
I have benefited personally from Mr. Guare’s course in stretching and exercise. His class is both relaxing and challenging. I have found the stretching exercises work synergistically with the fitness routine that I do several times each week.
I encourage anyone who wishes to increase flexibility, build strength and improve overall fitness to try Peter Guare’s stretching exercise class.
Sincerely,
Patricia A. Tammar
Health Coordinator

“At this year's Sectional Indoor Track Championship, my son Russell reinjured his hamstring running in the 800m. relay. With Pete Guare's assistance, utilizing a series of stretches, Russell was able to compete at the meet placing 3rd in the 55m. hurdles, and 2nd in the High Jump. Russell went on, again using the stretching sequence that Pete had shown him , and placed 9th at the National Indoor Championship, clearing 6' 4" in the High Jump and 12th in the Pentathlon. Russell has continued to compete injury free, and will be competing next week at the state championship meet in the Pentathlon, where he recently scored a school record 3266 points at this weeks state qualifier. As a High School track coach, and athlete myself (masters Decathlete, 12th at World Masters Champs. 1995.), I highly recommend the stretching routine advocated by Pete Guare! Sincerely, Ronald Cameron III. “

"I would like to give a testimonial for Peter Guare and his advanced stretching techniques. I have found these techniques to be invaluable in our Track and Field program. Pete has solved many a problem with injured runners with these methods. If you have an opportunity to have him demonstrate these methods, take advantage, you are bound to be impressed."
