23.01.2022 Check out these guys from Barstarzz they are amazing! This proves that you don't need a gym to get great results - only your body weight and a little imagination. Notice also that each exercise is very functional, unlike doing weights in a gym. They call it Creative Calisthenics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3MTqRWPiZU&feature=colike

22.01.2022 Gabriel (One of our great PT's) suggested starting a running group. We just wanted to know what is the interest. If there is enough, we can run a program in the West/Northern suburbs and something in the South/East. He has experience with training runners, as he used to have a group of runners in Brazil. Normally he would send the running program via email and than once or twice a week we had a group training session. So, who's interested? :)

18.01.2022 Breakfast is important because its restores your glycogen stores that are depleted during sleep. Breakfast enables your body to work better and burn fat at an optimal rate. It has been shown that when breakfast is not eaten your metabolic rate drops by up to 25%. In simple terms, if twins did nothing all day and one of them ate breakfast, the one who ate breakfast would actually use up more energy. Read on to the article below: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au//bhcart.../pages/Breakfast So who eat's breakfast?

16.01.2022 Why is my trainer making me do strength training to loose weight? Strength training is a method for your body to build muscle mass. Muscle mass needs around 10 times more energy for your body to maintain as to fat. So back to the example of twins....over night one twin gained 1kg of muscle and the other 1kg of fat. The twin with the extra muscle will burn around 400kj extra per day, while the twin with the extra fat will burn up to 40Kj extra per day. Big difference eh...? Also you continue to consume energy up to 72 hours after a weights session while your body recovers and grows. For those who are female and are worried about looking like Arnie, don't worry! Our gender plays a great deal in our ability to put on muscle. Most women will end up looking well toned and not like a muscle truck!

02.01.2022 The Age Run Melbourne is coming up soon on 15th July. Its a great chance to take part in a great fitness event and raise fund for your favorite charity. http://www.runmelbourne.com.au//the-age-run-melbour/gjhisd

02.01.2022 Has any one told you doing abdominal(abs) exercises will make you lose that tummy flab? Unfortunately it is not true. Your abs primary function is for flexion of the spine, that is bending over where your tummy is. You can do many exercises that develop the abs but you may not see them underneath a layer of fat. Also you may not be doing your posture any favours either. The only way that you can get great abs is to decrease your body fat percentage through a combination of strength and cardio workouts of all muscle groups. Eventually when the fat percentage is down enough to a certain point, your abs will show through!
