24.01.2022 Positional Ability Your ability to get into positions will directly dictate whether you make significant gains in strength, hypertrophy etc. or go down the route of potential injury and lack of results. Can’t get into the position? Then mobility interventions are needed... Once we can get into positions through the requisite range of motion we then have the ability to be able get into positions that optimally place demand on the structures we want to improve.

24.01.2022 Nothing to fear except Fear itself.

21.01.2022 PERCEPTION Health, Performance, Weight loss is a perception game. There are many ways to achieve a desired result, adherence and results will come down to your perceived reality around your training, nutrition, recovery and mindset.... Negative perception=Negative results Positive perception=Positive results

21.01.2022 One of the most powerful tools that we have at our disposal to reduce stress is our breath. When used properly, we can use it to bring ourselves to the present moment, discipline our mind in meditation, or use it to move our energy and shift our state of being. We get so busy in life that we sometimes literally forget to breathe. By carving moments out of our day to focus on our breath, we can instantly reduce our stress, access our power, and keep ourselves aligned with our heart’s desire.

20.01.2022 Training in the gym all week and still not getting the results you are after? buying supplement after supplement to help you train harder, grow muscle and shed fat. It is not necessary that you need to train harder, you may need to recover smarter. I call this swinging the Pendulum. So.... What does swinging the pendulum look like: Swinging the Pendulum is primarily balancing your body's stress levels. In this case, Train Harder + Under recover = no results. Train Hard + Optimal recovery = results. Recovery is not just sitting on the couch doing nothing. Recovery is prioritising the following: Quantity and Quality of your sleep Quality and Quantity of the food you’re consuming Integrating practices that better optimise the above 2 and enhance the recoverability of the body (i.e cold showers, walks, foam rolling, fascial work etc.) Swinging the body back into a growth state is the number 1 reason holding people back from the results they actually want to achieve. If you aspire to achieve the results you are training hard for, message us today to learn how we can support you in balancing your training and recovery to optimise your results.

18.01.2022 Make sure you are feeding the mind and the soul, just as much as the body

17.01.2022 just in time for the festive season $70 well spent on you. Running around buying xmas presents for everyone else, this is the perfect gift for you or a loved one who needs to stop and recenter so they can really enjoy the festive season.

17.01.2022 HOW HARD CAN YOU SWING THE PENDULUM? When you do the work, you want to see the results. However what we see is that people are willing to work hard in regards to the stimulus part but will not put the same amount of energy and time into the recovery part and this is where all the growth (or loss) occurs. The harder we swing the pendulum one way, we need to have an equal swing back the other way, stimulate then recover.... The amount of stimulation we can put onto the body will be directly dictated by our bodies capacity to recover from the overall stress, lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, mindset etc. will all dictate how hard we can push the body. This will be a crucial topic in our upcoming seminar, Optimise your Strength Training, on the 26th of September!

16.01.2022 If moving off the couch after sitting for a while has you feeling stiff and sore, resulting in you moving like you are 90. Unless you have an injury to the area, this will more than likely be caused due to muscle imbalance in the muscles that provide support and stability of the lumbar spine/hips etc. An understanding is needed that the muscles of the body have both an action and a function.... Functional training is just an extension of the body’s ability to move. Both the action and function of the muscles need to be in working order to keep the body pain and free and able to perform at its optimal.

15.01.2022 If you are going to do something, do it well. That's what our upcoming seminar, Optimise your Strength Training is all about, giving you the information to implement straight into your training regime that will take your results to the next level. Covering the following topics:... - Our strength training philosophy and the right technique for your body - How to fuel the body for high performance - Recovery strategies to compliment the hard work you put in This will be a highly interactive seminar with no question to go unanswered, tickets can be found through the link below: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/optimise-your-strength-trai

15.01.2022 Is the Food you choose to eat feeding your soul, giving you the energy to work, rest and play. Or Is the Food you choose to eat feeding your emotions, making you feel better but not giving you the energy your body craves

13.01.2022 DEADBUGS One of the major concerns with core work we see in the gym is the lack of work done on the function of the core which is to provide stability for the pelvis and resist lumbar extension. The Deadbug is a perfect entry level exercise to work on these areas while also creating awareness as to what it feels like to be stable through these specific areas. Focus on:... - Keeping core engaged and back flat to the floor - Holding this position throughout the whole movement - Undertaking the exercise at a slow and controlled pace as to keep technique on point and place demand on the targeted area.

12.01.2022 Nutrition can be quite a controversial topic and we recognise that weight loss seems to be right smack bang in the middle of what we focus on. The problem with this, is that weight loss is never the sole outcome. Feeling better, increase in strength, increase in muscle mass, being able to run around with the kids etc. usually coincide with our weight loss goal. This is exactly the basis of our hierarchy of nutrition (pictured below) as we realise that in order to achieve these outcomes we need to have an aspect of quality across the spectrum regardless of goal. Really focusing on foods that fuel and work with the individual which can be lost in translation when our sole focus is just calories in calories out.

11.01.2022 It is our pleasure to have Kim Stansfield instruct our Friday Morning Community class, to help you relax and move into the weekend. come join us for a yoga session and stay for a coffee and chat afterwards. Places are limited so ensure you message to let us know you are coming.

11.01.2022 Are you always running from the past? Do you set your goals from what has happened in the past? If we truly believe our past experiences were hard and we are to set our goals from these past experiences, are we then telling ourselves that these goals will be hard, it will take sacrifice and deprivation to achieve our desired outcome.... My question to you, is setting goals from experience inspiring or limiting? On looking back at my past experience with weight loss, every time I have decided I needed to lose weight in has come from a unpleasant experience, clothes not fitting, being bullied for being fat and hating who I was, this lead to rapid weight loss through deprivation in food and over exercising and eventually I would lose the weight, only for it to come back with interest and the cycle would eventually start again. It is funny this belief has made the fitness industry billions of dollars. Now this does not just happen with weight loss, struggling financially, continually find yourself in a bad relationship, career stalled or business nose diving, you know what you desire however as soon as you achieve it for one reason or another you seem to self-sabotage it, I believe this all come about form setting goals and then trying to achieve them with limiting beliefs from past experiences. You could argue, that If you have worked hard to get what you currently have then it is justifiable that you must then work harder to get what you want. Then again you worked hard for what for what you currently have, which if you have read this far is probably what you do not want. Could it be if you set aside your limiting beliefs, set goals to inspire you, focus on the experiences that you want to have, allow yourself to be who you want to be, will have you living the life you desire. It takes work, self-discovery that is, I had to do the work, to discover who I was, what experiences that I wanted and it was on this journey that I learnt that what I had come to believe were my thoughts and my beliefs were in fact not, they were everyone else’s, unfortunately I took their self-limiting beliefs and made them my own. So. What is holding you back? Is it the fear of discovering that you have been living a life that someone else wanted for you? Or Is it setting goals from past experiences, that you do not really believe in? Send message to let me know.

08.01.2022 Have you ever noticed that when it comes to making a lifestyle transformation, society in general tends to swing the pendulum to either extreme of the spectrum, it is almost like we are scared to sit in the middle. At yet it is being able to keep the pendulum close to the center is where we achieve lifelong sustainable results, if we look at weight loss there is a lot of information out there, which makes it very confusing and it this confusion which has us swinging the pend...ulum from restrictive eating, cutting out food groups, being obsessed with what trendy diet we are following, or to the other extreme where we binge eat, over indulge and not care about what we feed our body and yet it is when we eat to our individual bodies requirements we will improve our health and achieve our desired results. Unfortunately, it is not only weight loss where this occurs, but it is also affecting everyday life, from work, sleep, stress, emotions, exercise etc, we are going from one extreme to another. Talking to and observing people you soon start to notice they tend to go from being over stressed to burn out, unfortunately these days people seem to wear stress as a badge of honor, they are always to busy, to tired, do not have time living life to the extreme, unfortunately the pendulum eventually swings the other way which can result in illness, injury, time off work and burn out, yet if we aim to keep the pendulum in the center this would lead to living a balanced life between stress and recovery, we achieve more, be more productive and stop riding an emotional roller coaster. At Excel Health and Performance we design all our individual programs with this in mind, this lead us to develop our four pillars, Physical, Mental, Emotional and spiritual pillars, it is when these pillars individually and collectively are balanced the pendulum will spend more time in the middle instead of either extreme.

06.01.2022 Simplicity when it comes to Nutrition is key. Firstly, we want to observe and understand what the energy requirements for our body to function is, looking at BMR, NEAT, TFE and Exercise level. If you are struggling for energy, suffer from brain fog or cannot perform throughout the day at a high level, look at how much you are eating, you’ll probably find it’s not enough.... From there we can adjust dependant on your goal. Weight loss eat a bit less consistently. Want to gain muscle, eat more than required consistently. Get the simple stuff right first, there are no magic bullets in this world.

06.01.2022 Thank you for all who booked into meditation. All spots are now filled. Look forward to meeting all yhose who booked tomorrow afternoon

06.01.2022 WHY YOU MUST ARCH WHILE EXECUTING A BENCH PRESS First off, the bench press is a terribly inefficient exercise to build the chest in terms of hypertrophy due to lack of scapular motion meaning we cannot move the pecs through full ROM and apply an adequate amount of tension across the musculature. The Bench press is a great strength building movement however and building strength is about lifting weight. Utilising a well set up arch in the movement not only allows us to move a ...greater amount of load, allowing you to build strength it also improves what we call the bench-elbow relationship. This relationship is where the elbow finishes in relation to the bench at the bottom of the movement. Finish too far below= greater risk of shoulder problems We want to finish in line with the bench at a maximum. This not only allows us to lift more it also reduces the risk of injury.

02.01.2022 No two people in the world have the same personality, the same habits or the same outcomes they desire. Therefore comparison to others shouldn't be the focus.

Internal competition coupled with an inner drive to be better than you were yesterday is the only true way forward to achieve the results you desire.
