25.01.2022 Don't Go At It Alone - Find A Training Buddy We already knew this, but the science guys have found that if you train with a friend you are more likely to increase your attendance. Want an extra boost?... Don't forget to show some support for your training buddy by encouraging them through challenging moments. Let's face it, even the most committed, positive person, will have days they feel like they didn't crush their session. So, get around each other and get cracking on your start on 2021. Coach Regan

21.01.2022 Why Does My Body Always Feel Like It's Falling Apart In December? At this time of the year, it is quite common that the body stops cooperating, at least to the extent it normally would... The snag we often get tripped up on in December is our lives outside of the gym tend to change quite significantly, and probably in ways that don't support training hard and having the body in tip-top shape.... Let's have a little look at the changes we might see this month: Alcohol - without doing a study on it, I'm sure that for most of the population their alcohol consumption would increase during the festive season. Christmas parties, getting together with family and friends and celebrating. It doesn't take a scientist to understand that alcohol has a negative effect on performance. Decreased strength, dehydration, messing with our hormones, just to name a few things... Nutrition - overindulging and eating less than ideal foods is another big one at this time of year. Increased inflammation in the body, potential weight gain and simply not fueling your body correctly will all have an effect on our output inside the gym. Sleep - The holy grail of health, will also take a battering during the festive season. Increased stress - for all the parents out there now having to entertain kids all day every day for a couple of months while school is out, hats off to you all. Add a little of each to your basket, you probably have a recipe for the old body having a tantrum or two. Or at least not feeling like you are kicking ass as much as you'd like in the gym. Now, this post wasn't made to make everyone feel guilty for enjoying the festive season... But, to give a little understanding of how their body might be feeling and not to give yourself too much of a hard time if you aren't setting Personal Bests in the gym every day. Don't forget to keep training though, don't waste your hard work through the year. Maybe just dial it back on the days you arent feeling like Tia Clair-Toomey 2020 - a year of ups and downs, lets finish it positively and ready to crush 2021. Yours in Fitness Coach Regan

21.01.2022 The Start & Finish. Too often we are focused on these two points in time. Spend more time focusing on what’s in the middle for life long growth.... The struggle is what builds character. #crossfitbounce #goldcoastfitness #goldcoast #goingdeep

20.01.2022 Throwback to park sessions during lockdown! Frankie keeping Uncle G honest on his planks! Come one QLD let's kick COVID back to the curb. #oneinallin

19.01.2022 ONE FITNESS There is only one type of fitness at Bounce - one where everyone is included and welcome.

17.01.2022 Intensity > Duration For the everyday human who is simply looking to get fitter & healthier, intensity trumps in most instances. When we talk about intensity, we are talking about conditioning workouts under around 15 minutes, after that intensity slows very quickly.... Generally, 6-12 minutes will be where most training sits. Doesn't sound like much right? But, if you work hard, even 1 minute can leave you on your back gasping for oxygen. Typically, people are attracted to long workouts, more training, MORE MORE MORE as an answer to improving their fitness. Sure, if you are training for the CrossFit Games or a marathon you probably need to get out and do plenty of 15+ minute workouts. But, if you are out to look after your body and be healthier there really isn't any need to go long all the time. Short sharp bouts of exercise improve all aspects of fitness. It is where 99% of the population should be. So, next time you are in the gym try this little 60 min session outline. Warm-up 0-10 Mins Strength 10-25 (Lifting weights) Conditioning 25-40mins (the huff and puff) Stretching/Cool Down 40-50mins Pack up and head home 50-60mins An hour, in and out!! Keep it simple, aim to move for most of the hour and there is no need to spend hours in the gym. If you need a hand with what to do, shout out - we are always here to help. The Bounce Team

16.01.2022 Many Hands Make Light Work Only a week before Bounce member Bree Galvin pounds the pavement to support her brave sister Misha in her fight with Breast Cancer. Please give what you can to support breast cancer research and awareness as I’m sure we will all know someone affected at some point in our lifetime....

15.01.2022 Is Late Night Eating Killing Your Weight Loss Goals?? The health & fitness world is one big confusing pile of information & opinion, so let's get to the bottom of one thing we hear quite a lot. Does eating late at night (close to bedtime) cause weight gain??... The theory goes that if you eat something and go to bed too soon after your body just shuts down and the energy (calories) you just consumed will just turn straight into fat as you aren't using those calories. Let's talk about a couple of important things now... Rather than eating your dinner at 8pm and going straight to bed, what if you eat your dinner at 6pm, sit down and watch a movie for two hours and then go to bed, are we afraid that this will cause weight gain? While we are still awake, we are expending very minimal energy so in theory, it's the same thing. Of course, this isn't something we should be afraid of! If that theory was true we would need to get out and do a workout after every meal! Weight loss/gain - the basic science is that to gain weight, we need to eat more calories in a given 24 hours period than the energy we expend in that same 24 hour period. Vice Versa for weight loss. It doesn't really matter how we break down our daily calorie goal if all we are thinking about is weight loss/gain. You could split your daily calories over 3 meals, 5 meals, 1 meal - as long as they added up to your goal you are all good! One of the biggest issues is not the time of the day and how it relates to weight loss, it is more than likely what types of food/drink that are consumed late at night. Often it's high calorie, comfort-type foods - this is what usually pushes us over our daily calorie goal and this is what causes what gain, NOT THE TIME OF THE DAY YOU EAT IT. So, don't be scared of the time of the day, focus on the quality of the food and the amount that's going into your gob - this always has been and always will be the key to moderating body weight and minimize weight gain. Don't forget we are all human, just try and be a little better each week and it will all add up eventually. Yours in Health & Fitness Coach Regan

03.01.2022 Level Up Your Late Night Snacks Last week we spoke about how eating close to bedtime or late at night, and how this doesn't directly lead to weight gain (scroll back a few posts if you missed that). What does contribute to weight gain when eating late in the evening generally is the types of food that we eat at these times.... If you currently are snacking or eating late at night already, a great start would be to simply make better choices, you don't have to just go cold turkey on eating - that never works out well. So, instead of reaching for a pack of potato chips, a bowl of ice cream or other not so great choices try and sub something in a little healthier! Here are some super quick examples. 1. There are a few companies out there that do protein hot chocolate. Made on Collagen protein - a great little top up while watching a little tv before bed. Check out ATP Science and True Protein - highly recommend both. Personally, this has kept my little late-night snack gremlins at bay! 2. Greek Yoghurt and berries 3. Protein bars. These lil bad boys have come a long way in recent years and you can get some really tasty ones. Try out True Protein's range if you have not already - 1 bar is about 220 calories. Much better than a bowl of ice cream. The added protein is also will help with recovery from a big day of exercise. 4. Fruit Salad - for the sweet tooth this is a great way of eating something a little healthier. Be warned though, consuming a pear, peach, plum, apple and half a pineapple is still going to bump up those calories. Try and stick to a handful serving. Give it a go!! Level up your late-night snacks. If anyone out there has some great ones they use please post in the comments below, I'd love to hear them. Yours in Health Coach Regan

02.01.2022 3 Simple Tips To Success In Fitness New Year Resolutions It's no surprise to anyone that getting fit, losing some weight, getting healthier, or some variation of this is one of the most popular New Year Resolutions. Why? Because at the depth of us all we do know that it is important!... Whether it be getting fit to keep up with your kids... To keep your body and bones strong as you age... Looking good in a wedding dress... You get the drift, there are 100s of reasons behind this new year resolution. So here are my top tips for building success and momentum in 2020. Figure out what it is you need! - It is no good joining the cheapest gym purely because it'll save you a few bucks. - What does the gym offer you? - How does it suit your goals? - Do you need help with your training program or techniques? Don't go too hard too fast. - The old saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" rings true here. - Too often we jump straight into a training program designed for someone who has been consistently training for years, leading to overtraining and injuries. This is why it's a good idea to get a coach, at least to begin with! Find something you enjoy. - Yes, you read right. Exercise is enjoyable if you find the right thing for you...and the right crowd. - If you don't like running 5k every day, then there is no real need to! Maybe you'll enjoy lifting weights more, you can still get to your goals this way - id even argue that it's far more effective but that's a post for another day. - Find a community that supports you. - It's all about you. So, sit down and think about what it is you want to achieve and what type of people you want to be around when doing it. Then, jump on old google and do some research. Find all your local options. Go and visit and meet the coaches, the other people who train there. You will quickly find your people. Now it's up to you - get out and get moving. Wishing you all many successes in your fitness endeavors in 2021! Coach Regan
