Fat Loss

If you want to lose weight there are two areas which need your attention.

1. Nutrition

It is essential that you learn about the importance of controlling blood sugar, regular meals, metabolism and different types of proteins, fats and carbs.

2. Exercise

If you are exercising to lose weight you should be concerned with increasing metabolism through resistance training and working in the correct energy zone to ensure maximised fat loss.

Fat loss is simple when you know how but it often difficult to manage with everything else going on in life. Working with a Personal Trainer can make this easier for you through education, preparation trips and motivating training sessions.

Our approach to Fat Loss training:

1) Nutrition Education. If you want to loss fat, you MUST understand nutritional intake.

2) Varied Exercise - Weight management is ultimately a lifestyle dedication. We want you to enjoy your training so keeping it varied and challenging is essential.

3) Monthly Assessment - We offer free monthly assessments to all of our clients so that we can ensure you are on the right track. This is also a great opportunity to set future goals which will help keep you motivated.

Fitness Boosting

Your cardiovascular system is key to you becoming fitter and healthier. 'Cardio' stands for your heart and blood system and 'vascular' for your lungs and breathing systems.

Improving your fitness will not only allow you to perform better in sport, events or challenges but provide you with more energy for every day activities all work or with family.

Everyone can benefit from basic fitness training as it promotes a healthy lifestyle, reduced stress levels and a release of serotonin (the good feeling after exercise)

To be 'fit' isn't just being able to take part in one particular sport or lift a certain amount of weights, it's the combination of all components of fitness.

True fitness is being able to take part in all types of activities which requires components of fitness such as strength, flexibility, speed, endurance and balance. 'Fit for anything' as we like to call it!

Muscle Development

There are so many different types of training and theories out there it can be confusing to know the best way to train for muscle growth.

There are few key principles you must understand if you want to build muscle:

1) Progressive Overload - Your body is great at adaptation. If you place progressive demands on your body (i.e. lifting weights) your body will adapt and grow stronger. This the fundamental principle to increasing muscle size.

2) Recovery - Your muscles do not grow in the gym. In the gym the muscle fibres are broken down from resistance training. During the recovery stage your body repairs itself and more importantly attempts to protect itself from future damage by building more muscle fibres.

3) Nutrition - Protein is used during the recovery stage to rebuild your muscles. Without the right building blocks your body will be unable to build muscle and therefore be unable to adapt and grow!

There are also the principles of intensity, type, time and frequency to take into account before embarking on any training regime.

You will see lots of contrasting theories out there and many different styles of programmes but as long as the 3 main principles outlined above are incorporated, you will not go far wrong.

Working will a Personal Trainer will give you the essential knowledge on nutrition, structure for training programmes and motivation through enjoyable and varied training sessions.

Sports Performance

If you are training for a particular sport, your training should be sport specific. In order to improve your sporting performance your training has to be relevant to your sport.

Basic cardiovascular functioning is essential as all sports require bursts of effort, normally followed by short periods of recovery. This means that not only do athletes need endurance but also an efficient short term energy and recovery system.

Heart rate patterns will vary from sport to sport but the typical heart rate pattern in your chosen sport should be mimicked in training.

The movements performed in your sport are also critical to the training programme devised. Not only are we looking to increase the strength of muscles which produces the movements but also address the components of speed, stability, power, agility and coordination.

Core stability is essential for all sports as your core muscles control body movement, rotation and balance.

When looking at your own sport you need to ask the following question:

>> What components of fitness am I using?
>> Which one of these components is the weakness?

>> How can I stimulate the same energy system in training?
