25.01.2022 Act, Track, Adjust - that's what matters most when it comes to losing body fat. Sure, you have to be on a good training program and you have to make sure you eat enough protein and stay in a caloric deficit, BUT none of that matters if you don't take action and make adjustments as you go. - It's easy to get caught up in all the fancy diets, protocols, training programs, but it really comes down to this formula: Act... Track Adjust - First, you must actually put in the work. Then you have to track what you're doing, which serve as your records. And once you have records, then you can make adjustments that make sense. See more

25.01.2022 We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Well be closing Friday the 21st December and re-open Tuesday 2nd January 19!

25.01.2022 Just a reminder.. You don't have to be the person looking back in 2 months wishing you'd gotten started. Be the person who's proud they took action and got to the gym, or started a better diet. You need to build momentum and stop waiting to feel motivated.... The most accomplished people don't wait to feel like doing something. They just DO it. There is NO way to magically feel motivated until you actually get started. So many people will wait until they feel like going to the gym... Three weeks go by and guess what? ... They still haven't gone. You don't have to start a complicated training program today... Just go out for a 20 minute walk. You don't have to come up with the perfect diet today... Choose to cook a meal in tonight instead of going through the drive-through. Want to track your progress? We are here to help!

25.01.2022 Tabata traininga protocol in which 20 seconds of high-intensity activity are followed by 10 seconds of rest, with that cycle repeating for 4 minutescould be considered one of the earlier versions of high-intensity interval training. Researchers from Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama, recently looked at Tabata training to determine its effectiveness. Led by Michele Olson, PhD, FACSM, professor of exercise science at the university, the small study involved 15 individu...als (12 women, 3 men) whose caloric expenditure was measured before, during and 30 minutes after a Tabata workout. Results showed that participants burned 13.5 calories per minute. Olson also discovered that at the 30-minute mark, each individuals metabolic rate was double what it had been before the workout. This particular particular style of interval training has profound effects even on short-term, postexercise metabolism, Olson explained. It would take five times the amount of typical cardio exercise, like a 20-minute brisk walk, to shed the same number of calories that [are burned in] a 4-minute Tabata. Want to give Tabata a go? Here are Olsons tips for a safe and successful training session: *Be sure everyone is sufficiently warmed up. *Use exercises or equipment that rely on large muscle groups; examples include jump squats or a stationary bicycle. *Use modifications like body weight squats or treadmill walking at a brisk pace for less fit individuals. *For new participants, start with four or six rounds, working up to the full eight.

24.01.2022 Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. This is a great article explaining some of the latest protein and muscle building research. The down-low: ... - eat enough protein at all meals throughout the day (not just at dinner time) - the protein we eat can reach the muscle within hours, to aid with repair/growth/maintenance - If you don't exercise your muscles regularly, you'll lose them. QUICKLY - Sit up while eating - Chew your food well - the more broken down your protein is, the better it is digested and absorbed

23.01.2022 Physical fitness may do more than preserve a more youthful body; it may also impact the brain’s activity and function, preserving more youthful mental capabilities, according to findings published in NeuroImage.

23.01.2022 This is a great post from GGS about the kind of training you need to do to get results... ..."When you cut out the inessentials, the majority of your program will be strength training-based. To be clear, strength training isn’t necessarily just lifting weights. It’s any type of movement or exercise that imposes an increasing demand on your muscles and/or central nervous system and causes an adaptation. When you apply a stress to your muscles and/or your nervous system, your ...body tears down muscle tissue and rebuilds it bigger and stronger than before, or it increases the efficiency of your neural pathways so you can recruit more muscle fibers more effectively in the future. Simply put, your body will figure out how to make a task easier in case you have to do it again in the future. However, in order to recover and adapt, your body has to have the resources to put towards that process. A quick lesson: your body doesn’t know the difference between running from a tiger, overdrawing your bank account, fighting with your spouse, and doing a 90-minute Spin class. The stress response is the same. So if you’re overly stressedfrom excessive exercise, job stress, life stress, kid stress, marital stress, financial stress your body is pretty much running from that tiger all day long. Too much training can make it even worse...."...

19.01.2022 The only person whose opinion matters. <3

19.01.2022 Cravings, we all get them...but why do we get them? ~ The human brain is strongly motivated by key things that support survival and reproduction.... sex water social support food ~ Over time we learn how to acquire these things quicker and more easily and one thing we can thank for these short cuts is dopamine. ~ Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is released when we achieve something or attain a goal. We get a dopamine hit every time a behaviour accomplished one of the key goals above...sex, water, food etc. ~ The greater the hit of dopamine the more motivated we are to repeat that behaviour again. ~ Foods such as or sends our dopamine crazy, why? Because theyre packed full of starch, fats, sugar, protein...theyre calorific. All of those things are known to trigger dopamine. ~ When we eat a food high in Calories, starch, sugar, fat, proteins like all the sensors in our gut party like its 1999. It sends the message to the brain that this is literally the best source of nutrients since sliced bread...quite literally. ~ Once the brain is sent the report from the gut on the nutritional value of the food, the brain will take notes on the taste, smell, texture and look of the food which is then filed away and remembered for the next time the food cues your senses...kicking off your craving and need for the food again. ~

14.01.2022 Weight Trainings Effects on Depression Could a cure for depression be found in the weight room? Data from a study published in JAMA Psychiatry (2018; 75 [6], 56676) points to that conclusion. The meta-analysis of 33 clinical trials, featuring 1,877 participants, found a link between resistance training (RET) and a reduction in depressive symptoms.... While this study did not try to determine precisely how weight training might affect depression, Brett Gordon, MS, study author and postgraduate researcher for the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Limerick, Ireland, offered some suggestions: Cognitive and psychological mechanisms [could] include the expectancy of improved mental health following exercise, social interaction and social support, and improved cognitive control. Neurobiological theories involve systems that [influence] both how depression develops and how exercise affects the brain. The study also found that improvements occurred regardless of training volume, a detail Gordon believes could be investigated further. Although a lack of consistent reporting limited our ability to more thoroughly examine features of the exercise stimulus, this finding is consistent with previous research examining the effect of RET on anxiety, he says. Future trials are needed to explore the optimal RET routine for improving depressive symptoms.

13.01.2022 A little perspective on metabolism....

12.01.2022 Food for thought.... The most important metabolic organ in your body that supports weight loss, weight maintenance and weight control is your LIVER! To encourage healthy weight (fat) loss you must support a healthy liver! The liver has more than 200 metabolic biochemical functions to perform and plays a central role in nearly all bodily functions. Your liver plays a central role in the metabolism of any type of calorie and helps support your fat metabolism and weight contro...l. When the liver is overworked and undernourished, metabolic wastes can build up within the fat and liver cells and recirculate back into the blood stream, causing inflammation and oxidative stress. A fatty and/or unhealthy liver unfortunately stores fat rather than burns it. When your liver and visceral cavity become congested with fat its primary functions become impaired and this will disrupt your metabolism, digestion of fat and nutrients, hormonal health, and increase your risk of other more serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. The liver is supported by many plant containing phyto-compounds such as: Cabbage family vegetables. Due to the glucosinolates, these sulphur compounds help bind and eliminate toxins. They also boost glutathione which is an antioxidant liver boosting nutrient. Onion family vegetables. These boost glutathione and contain high sulphur for liver support. Beet family (beetroots). Beets contain betaine which helps to support and produce bile that is thinner, this supports easier bile flow that supports excess fat removal. Orange vegetables. Carrots, Sweet Potato, Squash, and Pumpkin are all rich in carotenoids and plant-flavonoids which support healthy liver function. Leafy greens. Leafy greens support liver cleansing, bile production, high nutrient and plant chlorophyll content. Citrus fruits. Lemon, lime, grapefruit and oranges all have vitamin C and phytonutrients that support liver health. Other liver boosting foods include asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, apples, peaches, mustard greens, chicory, endive and radicchio. Beyond fruits and vegetables, other foods that are beneficial for liver health include; green tea, turmeric, dandelion leaves and roots, milk thistle, resveratrol and grape seed extract. more: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/support-your-bodys-fat-burner/

12.01.2022 It's a known fact that walking can help to protect our health and prolong our lives. Walking for as little as 2 hours per week brings down the risk of all-cause mortality. This activity has also been linked with enhanced cognitive abilities and better psychological well-being...

10.01.2022 If your quest for abs is focused on crunches, leg raises, and planks, you're doing it wrong. The only way to get a leaner waist is to actually get leaner. And getting leaner isn't about exercises -- it's about diet. It's about reducing body fat to reveal whatever abs are underneath. Put your energy into what gets the results -- your diet -- before you research another ab workout.

10.01.2022 HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET IN A QUICKIE? Let's say you have just 12-15 minutes to workout. Most folks would just skip that. If all you have is 12-15 minutes, you might as well forget it, right?... Totally wrong. You won't be able to get a full strength training session in during that time, but you CAN do a little conditioning quickie. Conditioning should ideally be a combo of strength & explosiveness, should get your heart pumping but still challenge your muscles, and should be short but intense. **Here's a great sample circuit you can modify for your time frame. Every minute on the minute, you do one exercise for 10-15reps. Then you rest until the top of the next minute. So do the first exercise, rest until the top of the minute. Do the second exercise, and rest again until the top of the minute. Repeat in the same fashion for exercises 3 and 4. After exercise 4, go back to the 1st exercise and start all over again. You repeat this pattern until the time you have is up. So if you only have 12 minutes, you get 3 rounds done. If you have 16 minutes, you do 4 rounds. If you've never tried something like this, and you're thinking it looks easy, you're wrong! You will be sucking wind by the last round. If you use this workout, however, and it ever *does* get too easy, you can easily advance the work periods by adding 20% to the required work. So 15 reps becomes 18, 10 reps becomes 12, 15 seconds becomes 18 etc..

10.01.2022 Food for Thought - do you think portion size is an issue?? Ballooning portion sizes are considered a major player in the startling rise in obesity rates in recent decades, but current research points to evidence that we can turn this around. A study in the April edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that exposure to smaller food portions can recalibrate people’s perception of how much is enough. In the first of three experiments, volunteers randomly ate... either larger (440-calorie) or smaller (220-calorie) portions of the same quiche-and-salad meal. In the second experiment, a day later, volunteers could eat as much of that same food as they pleased. A week later, they were asked about their portion size preferences. The scientists found that eating a smaller portion of food during the first experiment led to people consuming less of the food the next day. They also showed a tendency to feel satisfied with smaller portions a week later. The findings suggest that reducing portion sizes for packaged and restaurant foods could lead us to consider these new sizes normal and, in turn, help put the brakes on belt-stretching excess consumption.

09.01.2022 How well do you sleep? Because it matters. A LOT. Especially for fat loss. Good sleep regulates your stress, helps your body recover, keeps your hormones in check, and promotes mental stability. Here's a great guide to why sleep matters and how to make yours better.

09.01.2022 Yassss! Arnie’s secret ingredient.. we’ve been doing it wrong all this time!

09.01.2022 We are closed today for the Australia Day holiday. We’ll be back on deck tomorrow!

09.01.2022 GOOD READ: The fitness industry is lying to you. Results come NOT from specific miracle products but from two very basic things: Nutrition Training If you aren't hitting those two things squarely and consistently, investing your money in anything else is a waste.

09.01.2022 The best training program, trainer, and diet are only as good as the level of consistency and effort you put into it. Random workouts mean random results. Find a way to dedicate a few hours each week to your strength and conditioning, and by the end of the year youll be smashing goals Want proof? Take advantage of our 4 Scan Pack and get your baseline body comp measured now.. follow up every 12weeks and watch those results happen in real time

09.01.2022 I have a lil secret for you if you're not sure where to start, have limited access to equipment, or what to do when training for growth.. remember, your body doesn’t know the difference between a squat and a leg press, or a machine bench and a barbell. It only reacts and adapts to the tension and load that provides the stimulus for growth.

08.01.2022 1. The Keto Diet is superior for fat loss : Keto only works because you eliminate all foods that you typically over indulge in. - 2. You need to do a Detox Diet : Your liver detoxes you. Detox diets are extreme diets, hence the weight loss. - 3. Fat makes you fat : Fat consumption does not make you fat. Over consumption of anything will make you fat.... - 4. You're not allowed to drink when you're dieting : Of course you can drink. It's just easy to over consume alcohol and eat Calorically dense foods along side drinking. - 5. Bread causes weight gain : Bread in itself does not cause weight gain. See them as slices of Calories. not weight gain. - 6. It's best to train in the morning : If you can train in the morning, do it. If you're not a morning person or don't have time, train another time. - 7. You must do 10,000 steps : If you're only doing 3,000 steps, 10,000 is over triple your step count. 10,000 steps may be feasible if you're around 8,000+ already. Slow and steady. - 8. Certain foods are going to speed up your metabolism : Your metabolism will boost relative to the quantities of food you eat, as well as the nutritional composition of that food. No certain food will speed up your weight loss. - 9. You must eat nothing but "clean" foods for weight loss : If you eat nothing but these "clean" foods, you're probably cutting a lot of pleasure out of your life. You simply need to learn a balance between indulgence and OVERindulgence. - 10. Fasted Cardio > Fed Cardio : Forcing yourself to train fasted if you're lethargic and hungry is moronic. You'll burn more Calories if you're fuelled and energetic. - 11. You must change your training programme regularly #ShockTheBody : If it aint broke, don't fix it. Change it if you're bored. Continually progress it. - 12. Training hard is always best : Training hard is great, but if it causes laziness in other areas, it's counterproductive. Train as hard as your lifestyle allows.

08.01.2022 A common question when a person starts exercising is how long does it take to build muscle, and the answer can be a complex one.. that said, the more muscle that is present when starting an exercise programme, the more changes will be seen during training.

07.01.2022 If you want to lose body fat and burn more calories you need to get the most out of every workout. Here are 6 gym based fat loss tips from expert trainer Paul Haslam to help you increase weight loss, lose body fat and accelerate your results in the gym!

07.01.2022 Love this! From @damonhayhow Alcohol is the absolute best drug available to be the fattest, least muscular version of yourself. No other drug or disease can undo all of your diet and training efforts and/or reverse your positive body composition changes as fast! I cannot ever overstate how good alcohol is for ruining body composition. I've been measuring it for 15 years and it still shocks me how many weeks of work can be lost with just a few drinks. I know there will be ma...ssive, angry disagreement from all the alcoholics out there, as well as the academic wannabe's who read lots of studies but never study the real world or real people to see what really happens. These are the same ignoramuses who think it is not possible to grow muscle and lose fat concurrently, and then use their own constant failure as proof it cannot be done. But the rare few coaches who bother to regularly measure their client's body compositions will tell you, it is staggering how much muscle can be lost, and fat regained, from acute alcohol consumption. Regular drinkers do seem to avoid this reversal of positive body changes. Thats because alcohol typically prevents significant, rapid, positive body changes in the first place. Also, 1 in a million people have insanely awesome bodies regardless what they do. They can train and eat like crap, drink booze, party and abuse themselves and still look incredible. That is no proof of their genius or "finding what worked for them". It only proves they have absolutely no clue how to overcome the difficulties most people have building a great body. But its OK. Thrive+ has the solution. So after you've abused and poisoned yourself to the wee hours of the morning with alcohol, drugging yourself fat, weak and muscleless, you can pop some of their vitamins into your fatter, weaker body and everything will be OK. Its like closing the gate after the horses have bolted or slamming on the brakes after you crashed your car: its the thought that counts and nobody can say you didn't try. And look, their logo is even based on the colour your urine becomes after their supplements. Take Thrive+ to live in a happy rainbow world of unicorns and fairies where getting shit-faced on alcohol has no consequences to your body. https://www.facebook.com/damon.hayh/posts/10156376328139875

06.01.2022 The secret to increasing strength and muscle mass may have more to do with how much training you do than how often you do it, according to a new report. Published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (2018; 32 [5], 120713), the study compared the effects of resistance training 3 days per week with the results of training 6 days per week. Researchers recruited 28 experienced young males to participate in the intervention, which lasted 6 weeks. Subjects completed... one-repetition maximum tests for back squat, bench press and deadlift to determine strength. They also underwent pre- and poststudy body composition measures. All the men were required to discontinue any anabolic supplement use; however, they were allowed to consume whey protein and multivitamins throughout the intervention. During the 3-day-per-week program, participants completed 4 sets of 8 repetitions of three base exercisesback squat, bench press and deadlifteach day. The rest of the program consisted of the following moves: Day 1 pullup Romanian deadlift abs Day 2 overhead press barbell row triceps extension biceps curl Day 3 pullup abs The 6x group performed the same total work, but it was split into two sessions (i.e., each day was split in half into 2 days), explained study author Ryan Colquhoun, MS, CSCS, graduate teaching and research assistant for the Applied Neuromuscular Physiology Lab at Oklahoma State University. At the end of 6 weeks, all subjects showed similar maximal strength and body composition improvements, suggesting that volume is a core factor in physical change, according to the researchers. I think the main takeaway from our study is the importance of training volume on strength and body composition changes, said Colquhoun. So, if a client needs six shorter sessions or three longer sessions in a week, as long as the amount of work completed is the same, they should expect similar results.

06.01.2022 How different kinds of fiber affect the microbiome Western diets are typically high in saturated fats and sugar and low in fiber. But there is plenty of evidence that our way of eating does not agree with our gut microbiome.

05.01.2022 Some truth bombs right there

05.01.2022 Just a reminder.. You dont have to be the person looking back in 2 months wishing youd gotten started. Be the person whos proud they took action and got to the gym, or started a better diet. You need to build momentum and stop waiting to feel motivated.... The most accomplished people dont wait to feel like doing something. They just DO it. There is NO way to magically feel motivated until you actually get started. So many people will wait until they feel like going to the gym... Three weeks go by and guess what? ... They still havent gone. You dont have to start a complicated training program today... Just go out for a 20 minute walk. You dont have to come up with the perfect diet today... Choose to cook a meal in tonight instead of going through the drive-through. Want to track your progress? We are here to help!

05.01.2022 Consistency-->Results. But that doesn't mean doing the same workout for months on end. Smart programming balances consistency with progressive overload and variation, so your body adapts, is challenged, adapts, and is challenged again. That cycle, and not simply burning X amount of calories, leads to fat loss and physique change.

02.01.2022 Equal Calories Burned Same Results Many people fixate on the number of exercise calories they burn. New research, sponsored by Les Mills International, shows that even when two group fitness activities (indoor cycling and a resistance workout) were matched for duration and caloric expenditure, they did not have equivalent metabolic effectswhich could influence long-term training results. Lead study author Nigel Harris, PhD, said, The type of exercise used to burn those ca...lories . . . impacts the long-term positive effects that exercise has on the body. Twelve healthy, active female participants completed the two workouts on separate days. Researchers then measured the women’s physiological and hormonal responses using blood samples taken before the sessions, immediately afterward and 45 minutes later. Data analysis showed that, at the 45-minute mark, human growth hormone and blood lactate levels were significantly higher after group resistance training than they were after cycling. Study authors noted that human growth hormone stimulates protein synthesis and bone mineralization, among other things. The study is open access and is available in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport (2017; doi:10.1016/j.sams.2018.02.010).
