25.01.2022 To all you LEGENDS out there we call Dad. Thank you for the Dad jokes, the fixing of things, the Eagle rock blasting whilst you get the bbq ready; teaching us life skills like how to change a tire, clean the bbq with beer, how to put up a tent and for always being the one on Chrissy day and birthdays having to put the presents together. Got a flat pack? You are the man! We our AF Dads

25.01.2022 Mental Health and COVID lockdown - it has certainly been tough to say the least No matter whether you're mentally strong or have perhaps suffered in the past with mental health, this pandemic has really put an additional strain on each and every one of us. Especially due to the buzzwords social distancing Being social is one of the most effective ways of looking after our mental health, whether that be talking to a friend or family member, problem solving with a co ...worker or simply smiling at a stranger walking past. These things have seemingly been taken away from us for the time being, however we need to pivot our routine to try and keep these social interactions going while physically distancing from others. Try a zoom catch up (or zoom workout ), voice recorded text messages, a postcard or letter via snail mail, complimenting a stranger at the supermarket, telling your partner you love them more, calling your grandparents weekly, leaving a positive note in the lift of your apartment. If we are creative, we can still get our positive interactions in! Other ways to look after our mental health are exercise, being aware of what we are consuming (both food wise and what we are reading/watching), taking time for self care, finding a sustainable and productive ISO routine and reaching out when we need help. Keep an eye on our socials this week for other mental health tips and tricks! @ Anytime Fitness

25.01.2022 WEEK 5 Already! Wow This week we focus on what we do best - MOVEMENT! Here at Anytime Fitness Brighton, we believe that what you can achieve through movement leads to a happier, healthier and longer life. This is an important habit to put first. You have to schedule time to move every day and dont cancel on yourself. ... As mentioned in a previous post, the more you move, the better you will be able to sleep , those endorphins arent bad either! becoming fitter and focussing on your physical health lowers the risk of lifestyle related illnesses and it can severely lower your stress levels, visceral fat around your stomach is a very dangerous area to store fat; as it is around all of your vital organs. The good news! Our coaches are there for you every step of the way, we have information on fitness, cardio and strength training available in the Af Health Hub free for everyone during Iso!

25.01.2022 Being able to use pretty much any seat as your workout bench is one quick and easy way to do a quick session in those pockets of time through the day! One way to incorporate a new habit of movement and start to build that new habit is use some sort of action or part of your day as an anchor to introduce the new habit! For example; ... - have a glass of water after every meal - every time you go to the toilet do 2-5 push-ups - when you brush your teeth morning and night do a quick ab circuit LAST CHANCE! The National 8 week challenge begins on the 28th of September - enquire with us at [email protected] Happy training

24.01.2022 There are so many signs you are on the right track - the key is taking that time to note the progress you have made, by listing all the 1%ers that help you towards your goal and show you are on the right path. It can also be a way of measuring if you arent doing so well and something needs to change. . .... Trust the process Happy Sunday crew

23.01.2022 Give this a try!!! Thanks Addie for the top tip! Using the foam roller and Massage ball for myofascial release is a great way to perform a deeper stretch yourself from home, sometimes static stretching just isn’t enough. Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points. It’s not always easy to understand what trigger point is responsible for the pain. Localizing pain to a specific trigger point is very difficult. For that ...reason, myofascial release is often used over a broad area of muscle and tissue rather than at single points. Start by watching some tutorials online or have our trainer take you through a routine and then work it into your week. Your body will thank you for it *check with our Pt’s if you are unsure of how to perform this shoulder release

23.01.2022 5 minutes is better than nothing! If you only have small pockets of time throughout the day, try this 5 minute workout, working for 60 seconds each exercise! Join JOSH tomorrow at 7am for the FULL body-weight 30 minute workout ... Link below https://us04web.zoom.us/j/75019302871

20.01.2022 How many serves of veggies do you have per day? If we are honest, most of us dont know or dont take much notice. But we need 5 serves each and every day If youre in doubt, its a safe bet to add a serve or two to what you already eat ... This can be hard to achieve so here are some tips: Start your day with a greens powder - either just with water or mixed into your smoothie Snack on veg (carrot sticks, capsicum, celery) rather than on a packet of chips Incorporate grated veg into dishes like your typical spag bowl (pictured above) or lasagna or pasta bake Use veggies as a swap for things like pasta, rice and pizza base i.e. zoodles, cauli rice or cauli pizza base Do you have any other great hacks to you your veggie intake? Comment below and let us know

20.01.2022 Top 3 benefits of vitamin D - Sunshine vitamin Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin because its produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Its a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. Your body produces vitamin D naturally when its directly exposed to sunlight. You can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood.... Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases. If your body doesnt get enough vitamin D, youre at risk of developing bone abnormalities such as soft bones (osteomalacia) or fragile bones (osteoporosis). Here are three more surprising benefits of vitamin D. 1. Fights disease 2. Reduces depression 3. Boosts weight loss Happy training

17.01.2022 Yes you can! This week marks the beginning of Week 1 in our 8 Week Challenge This week is about setting our goals, planning our days, weeks and months and focusing on the things we can control. ... Some things to remember on this next 8 week journey. 1. The scales don’t know how amazing you are, they are just a number. 2. There is more to measure than weight, so make sure you have many areas to measure at the beginning and when the challenge is complete. Any progress is progress none the less. - in your challenge dashboard, there is a section that allows you to upload progress photos, take your measurements and track your progress in other forms like food, water and workouts! Everything is important to track! 3. Make sure you plan out the time you will prep your food, look through the online programs and the separate at home workouts for us Victorians. Don’t cancel on yourself when you commit to days and times to train. 4. If you are adding in new habits from the programs given, make sure you try ANCHOR them to current habits. For example if your aim is to be able to do 50 push-ups, start by doing 5 whenever you’ve gone to the toilet. Another example is making sure you drink a glass of water after every meal, when you brush your teeth and have a shower, doing those few tasks through the day should see you reach your 2-3L goal 5. Try and enjoy the process; if you can find comfort in the struggle, the journey will be much more fulfilling and rewarding on the way!

15.01.2022 Hydration is key when these warmer months spring up on us! We need to drink water regularly don't wait until you get thirsty.Keepa glass of water next to you, and always have water onthedinner table. Add a slice of lemon. Eat water-content foods such as fruit, vegetables and soups. 10 Healthy Ways to Increase Your Fluid Intake Dehydration can cause headaches, lethargy, muscle weakness and a host of other problems. So what is adequate hydration, and how do we meet th...ese needs through drinking & eating? 1.Drink a water-based beverage (water, juice or milk) with every meal and snack between 8 and 16 glasses.You should drink a minimum of 810 cups per day, more if you are physically active. 2.Consume fluids before you are thirsty.By the time you are thirsty, your body is already dehydrated! 3. If you drink caffeinated beverages (coffee, teaandsodas), alternate decaffeinated beverage intake throughout the day. 4. Try calorie-free, fruit-flavored waters to add some variety.Some versions are flavored no-calorie waters, some are flavored with low-calorie sweeteners and others contain enhancements like vitamins 5.Dilute juices.For some people, fruit and vegetable juices taste too thick or sweet. 6.Eat your water.Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat as well. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, or melons can contribute to fluid intake. 7.Carry a water bottle with you.This is a great way to maintain your hydration level when doing outdoor activities or running errands, especially in warmer months. Aim for reusable bottles, and make sure they are BPA-free. 8.Order water when eating out.This will keep you hydrated, save money and reduce calories all at the same time. 9.Add citrus.Adding a slice of lime or lemon to your water may improve the taste and make you want to drink more water than you usually do. 10.Keep a water intake journal.Seeing your track record can help motivate you to maintain your fluid requirements.

14.01.2022 Anybody else tried this duet dance challenge? Mix up your workouts and make them fun! @eva_m1973

14.01.2022 Having to balance everything all at once can be stressful , especially with doing everything from home now. So, here’s a few hacks to get you through your days better! Complete your morning checklist the night before:Save yourself some early morning mind fog by completing your checklist the night before. Follow the ‘2-minute rule’:If you can do something (like replying to an email or completing a simple house chore) in 2 minutes, do it now. Planning for it later, rememb...ering to do it, and then doing it in the future will take 5 minutes or more. Stretch on the go: If you’re skimping on your stretch sessions regularly, it’s going to have harmful impacts on your body in the long run. Try combining your stretch sessions with TV time. Clear your inbox before you hit your desk:If you commute long distances for work, put that time to good use and tackle your inbox en route! Disconnect:Just because we’re living in a 24/7 connected world doesn’t mean you need to be connected 24/7! Log out of your social media platforms and be mindful of your usage to save yourself pointless hours of scrolling. Podcast and e-book away:Get your fix of entertainment while you do activities that don’t require a lot of concentration, like cooking or cleaning. Make meal prep less of a hassle:We all know that prepping your meals can save you time during the week, but setting aside a chunk of time on your weekends for a cooking frenzy isn’t always so much fun either! It’s also a great option for marinating your meats in advance, giving your mid-week meals that extra flavour! Smash out your sweat session:During busy periods, opt for short and intense workouts over longer ones. HIIT workouts are great for getting the blood pumping and achieving a significant calorie burn in a shorter session. #lifehacks #mindfulness #wellness #mindfulnesspractice #mondaymindfulness #mondayvibes #monday #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #changestartstoday #allinthistogether #stayhealthy #stayactive #staypositive

05.01.2022 And just like that Spring has sprung and walks become mindful moments appreciating nature Its normal at various times to feel sad, stressed, angry or anxious. But when these feelings last longer than usual and start to affect your everyday life, its important to find out whats going on and what you can do about it. Do you or someone you know need help? ... Sometimes knowing where to begin and speaking up about how youre feeling can be one of the hardest parts, but needing support does not mean that you are weak, its a very human thing to need the support of others every now and then. If you are struggling, here are a few options to get you started and help get your mental health back on track. SPEAK UP Its easier said than done, but people often underestimate how valuable it can be speaking with a family member, friends or colleagues.

03.01.2022 Overeating can happen to the best of us, and it’s definitely an issue that surfaces since we are staying at home a lot more now. So what are some ways we can overcome it? 1) Practice mindful eating. Try to focus on your plate without distractions (a.k.a phone or TV), just enjoy every bite and delicious moment. This also helps with indigestion from eating too fast . ... 2) Add your veggie volume . Consuming more leafy greens and veggies keeps you feeling full without packing on the calorie count. 3) Surround your meals around a protein source whether it may be ,, or legumes. Protein takes more energy to digest and keeps you satiated for longer . 4) Stay hydrated and drink at least 2 to 3 litres of water daily. Set a reminder every hour if you need to . 5) Reduce your stress. Rather than focusing on food when you're stressed or emotional, do something positive and proactive instead like a workout, a walk or a hobby. 6) Identify your triggers. Ask yourself this. Why do I always turn to food for? Am I really hungry? Or am I bored? Upset? Stressed? Lonely? Try these out fam, cause we all need a reminder or two to get us back on track from that quarantine weight gain. #overeating #nutritiontip #wellnesstip #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #changestartstoday #allinthistogether #stayhealthy #staysafe #stayactive #staypositive #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessaustralia

03.01.2022 Sammy you have come a long way with your coach Josh. Your hard word, dedication & discipline shows in your eagerness to continually improve & better yourself, it’s awe inspiring. We are so lucky to have you as a loyal member of our club. - 8 weeks is all it takes to TRANSFORM your health and fitness like our amazing member Sammy! Get started for FREE for our next Challenge starting TOMORROW, DM us or send an EMAIL to [email protected] Getting into my late ...40s I noticed a significant slow down in my metabolism and the training and diet regimes used in the past no longer helped me beat the middle aged spread. I didn‘t want to be another overweight middle aged person when I still feel young at heart, so the challenge gave me the opportunity to step it up and recommit to a consistent exercise program of training 6 days a week. To support my body with the new exercise program, I gave up alcohol and fine tuned my eating habits and was amazed by how much my strength and fitness improved in a short amount of time. Doing the challenge has set a new habit for me to make time to train everyday. I now lift more than double what I started with and its now normal for me to prioritise time to exercise and stretch every day. The improvements I feel in strength, fitness, flexibility and wellbeing are addictive and have encouraged me to work harder beyond the challenge Program for greater results, as it’s never to late to be the best you can be with a fit and healthy body. The challenge has given me a good kick start to a longer 12 month goal and journey ahead towards being a lean keen fit machine! Sammy is participating in this 8 week challenge also!!

01.01.2022 HAVING A HOBBY! Taking 15-30 minutes each day and devoting that time to a new passion that has nothing to do with your career or something you already do at home! Many of us are finding ourselves stuck in a daily routine that offers little more than a rinse and repeat type life. ... While it's important to stick to a schedule, sometimes the same routine becomes dull especially during lockdown when you're spending too much time on low value activities like watching TV, browsing social media, or engaging in bad habits. One way to help end the daily monotony is to focus on a hobby that is both enjoyable and helps you pass the time in a meaningful way. Without having a hobby, your life may become boring, seem demanding, and end up in an unhealthy cycle. While having a routine is great because it is so easy, incorporating a hobby into your life can add excitement and spark that it may need to increase your personal satisfaction. This will then flow over to your work performance and ability to maintain a healthy family and other relationships.
