19.01.2022 Wired AF Podcast - Book club Ep 1! December 3rd! We're always trying to think of ways to interact with you guys. We have decided that the podcast episode on December 3rd (Thursday of course) will be a book review/discussion. ... You can either purchase a hard copy or listen to the audiobook. Either way, you'll be participating in something that will educate you about sleep - you'll definitely learn something from this. If you do the FREE trial with Audible you'll get it for FREE! Audio Book (FREE with trial): https://www.audible.com.au/.../Why-We-Sleep.../B0785FNKVJ Hardcopy: https://www.booktopia.com.au/why.../book/9780141983769.html Whilst I don't believe with the statement on the book cover, why can't we agree that there are many important elements to health... but anyway!

18.01.2022 In our latest video we talk about what is stretching and how you can add a foam roller, ball and band into your routine! Disclaimer: *We recommend using no equipment for the most part of your stretching routine through static holds and dynamic movements. *Active recovery is going to be the best way to accelerate recovery due to increased blood flow to working muscles. ... *Foam rolling has limited research to show improvements in recovery although the reduced perception in muscle soreness can be a useful effect of foam rolling.

We talk about the different types of strength training and how the reps, sets and load varies for different training goals. We discuss what to consider when writing a program to get the best results, and how Olympic Weightlifting programs differ from bodybuilding or powerlifting programs. Every Thursday, 7 Platforms, Available now.

09.01.2022 Wired AF Podcast #018 We thought it would be interesting to delve into some common misconceptions about striving for perfect technique in lifting and Pilates. As much as we both promote optimal technique, there are some things to consider that may alter a person's technique. We have also found it can sometimes be detrimental to a person's mental well-being to always obsess about achieving "perfect form". Of course we always encourage safe movement, however there is still ...a space for sub-optimal technique if the person is moving safely.

07.01.2022 It depends. How’s that for an answer. Let’s unpack this concept from understanding hydration, how the body uses water and why you need to keep replenishing it. The amount of water lost from respiration (breathing) are exactly balanced (in healthy people) by the amounts of food and drink we consume at rest. About 60% of our daily water intake is obtained from fluid drinks, 30% from solid foods and a further 10% is produced within cells, from breakdown of carbohydrates during respiration.

06.01.2022 WIRED AF PODCAST EP #021 - Why are there no regulations on manufacturers? - Why is it eat "at least" encouraging consumption - Why is the solution to obesity "eating more vegetables" rather than eating less ultra-processed foods?... Led by nutritionist Brandon, we discuss the 5 dietary guidelines which are recommended by the Australian Government, and how these could be improved. Why do they recommend certain food groups? Are the recommendations outdated? What are discretionary foods REALLY made up of? We also touch on the topic of how most people already know how and what to eat, but are confused by misinformation. Listen now: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7LZTVi78gGqJt3B5twEn2G

06.01.2022 On today's blog, I talk about how rest can make a world of difference!

05.01.2022 "Your daily eating should include a diet containing high quality sources of carbohydrates and fat to sustain the functions that it needs. I know what you’re thinking, but I am trying to change that mentality. You can’t eat bread if you want to lose weight or you can’t eat pasta and must choose the low fat alternatives. The issue of the obesity epidemic is two things. The first, the quality from which these carbs and fats are sourced. Think home made breads versus packaged noo...dles. These packaged foods with labels low-fat, healthy, pure and so on contain ingredients that humans were never meant to consume. They contain so little of the original raw ingredient that they are something else - ultra-processed products, they’re NOT food at all (by true definition)."

04.01.2022 BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING FOR WOMEN! Like and share this post! Lets spread the word! I constantly get told the same things from women....... "I’m worried I’ll get bulky if I lift weights I don’t want to look manly I’m worried I’ll hurt myself if I lift heavy weights In reality, these concerns are actually false. It is very difficult for a female to get a bulky muscular look. This is because women simply do not have the same levels of hormones as men do, so it is very difficult to build substantial muscle size. The women that do look bulky are usually female bodybuilders who are usually TRYING to look this way, and do so with strictly regimented training, exercise and supplement use. Sometimes these bulky women have a little help from other substances as well. Click the link below to continue reading! accardifitness.com.au/blog/should-women-lift-weights

Also do people just hate the taste of water?
