22.01.2022 WE had this happen, this happen and this happen, but instead of wallowing and giving up, here is what we learned... 1. We have a strong FD2 community who stayed connected even at a distance 2. Without our members and trainers the gym is just a building (weird vibe during lockdown). 3. Washing hands is super important ... 4. We all missed hugs 5. We are very lucky to be Australian 6. We survived a worldwide pandemic It was all because of our amazing team and members and that’s why we know 2021 is going to be awesome. #byebye2020 #community #fitnessdonedifferent #family

19.01.2022 Meet Joe! Joe has been with us for over 10 years and epitomises what we are all about here at Fd2! Here is why he keeps coming back.

19.01.2022 So it is holiday time for most and we know there has been a little extra indulgence but there has also been a little extra time for activity and exercise. What happens when you return to work, the kids are back at school and life gets busy again? The best thing you can do for yourself is to plan ahead...GET ORGANISED! 1. Schedule your exercise in your diary.... 2. Do not allow anyone to make you think it is selfish for you to exercise. 3. Ensure it is sustainable and realistic with your daily life. 4. Get the support of family members. 5. Plan your workouts to get the most of your time in the gym and feel like you have purpose. TIP: Put on your workout gear even if you don’t feel like exercising....it will give you the inspiration to do something. Even if it is taking it off again #fitnessdonedifferent #motivation #planning #tips #support #fitness

16.01.2022 Do your knees hurt when you’re training? No, it’s not because you’re over 50 - it’s because you’re probably doing this wrong. Knee pain without injury is common. Here are some possible reasons: 1. Arthritis ... 2. Tendonitis 3. Bursitis 4. A tear 5. Overuse or stress on joints due to heavy lifting or impact If none of these apply to you and it is temporary pain aggravated by exercise maybe your technique is incorrect. Consult a physio, doctor or ask one of our team to check your form. It could be as simple as you are just not executing your exercises correctly. We can show you how to engage the correct muscles during a movement that will support a preexisting injury or training correctly for what your body needs. #kneepain #injury #correctform #fitnessdonedifferent #personaltraining

13.01.2022 Time for an upper body session ladies that will strengthen that back. Try this one: Make sure you do a 5-10minute warm up including some movement and stretching to start. Then 4 sets of each with 12 reps starting at your maximum weight with good form and reducing each set until fatigue. ... - Lat pull down overhand grip - Rear fly machine - Cable machine Face pulls - Seated row Every movement your body makes will engage your back muscles. Primary muscles in the back include the: * lats, which are in the area below your armpits down the sides of your back * rhomboids, which are in the mid-upper back * traps, which run from your neck to your mid back * erector spinae, a group of muscles that run along your spine Good luck and remember form over weight. #backmuscles #fitnessdonedifferent #strength #fitchicks #fridayfitness

13.01.2022 As we all know it is Valentine’s Day and instead of focusing on the obvious we wanted to remind everyone of the importance of your heart. Regular cardio exercise and resistance training at least two times per week can lower your cholesterol, reduce heart disease, reduce the possibility of diabetes Type 2 and most importantly lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Should you have any of these issues it is important you see your doctor to obtain clearance to start a new... exercise regimen. Our trainers are here to help and happy to assist you with your personalized exercise plan. Keep your heart healthy and happy. Happy early Valentine’s Day lovers and look after your it is the only you have. #heart #valentinesday #love #health #happiness #fitness #longlife

10.01.2022 It took us a long time to have mirrors in our gym but not because we didn’t want them. Our clients didn’t need them because we were a PT studio and our job was to correct form. Now we have a gym we have a couple of mirrors but not just for gym selfies . Mirrors are a fantatsic way for you to correct your own technique and set up correctly when performing an exercise. Ask a trainer it also helps me to see a client front and back when they are performing an exercise. Remember to use the mirrors to your advantage. If you are not sure what to look for in your form as one of our awesome trainers. Remember form over weight, speed and reps. #mirrorselfies #fitnessdonedifferent #form #strength #correcttechnique #gymselfies

09.01.2022 It’s crucial to start investing in your well-being. Exercise is only one piece of the puzzle we call life.

07.01.2022 With the holiday season just around the corner, while it’s great to have a break - maintaining parts of your training schedule is pretty important! We all want to feel our best over the silly season and enjoy ourselves. Keeping active and sometimes even increasing your training could be of benefit to cope with the extra calories that will be consumed. This will also mean they are guilt free calories. Keeping in mind you CAN’T OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET. The gym will be open on pub...lic holidays and Christmas Day so there is no excuse to miss out on moving your body. Get up each morning and go for a walk or take an evening stroll with the family after dinner. Try not to over eat and then sleep the afternoon away on Christmas Day. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. The other thing to be mindful of are the empty calories in the alcohol and soft drinks you may consume. Quality over quantity can be a massive winner here. But all in all enjoy, relax, unwind but don’t be lazy and forget all the hard work you have put in this year. Stay healthy and come and see us now so your New Years resolution doesn’t need to be health related #stayhealthy #behappy #fitnessdonedifferent #mondaymotivation

06.01.2022 HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2021. No more talking about 2020. It's a new year, fresh goals, fresh motivations and fresh perspectives.

05.01.2022 Are you new to the concept of exercising regularly? At FD2 we like to keep it simple - it’s easy as ABC! Hee hee #tips #fitnessdonediffent #exercise #keepitsimple

04.01.2022 Do you look at the scales everyday and think WTF? At FD2, we believe the scales don’t matter! Here’s why: 1. Fluid intake, water retention and excessive salt intake can change the number on the scales 2. Scales don’t show health e.g if you just stopped drinking alcohol or smoking or just started eating breakfast the body takes time to adjust 3. Scales can not tell you if your body composition has changed e.g lost a kg of fat and gained a kg of muscle.... 4. Weighing yourself daily is not an effective way to stay motivated as if the number goes up you may quit your clean eating or new training program 5. Not all scales are the same or accurate For those starting a new gym program remember muscle weighs the same as fat....if you gain a 1kg of muscle it = a kg of muscle. As you work out, you are building lean muscle which weighs exactly the same as fat but is leaner. if your clothes are looser but the scale is the same, this is because of the lean muscle you have. TIP: Muscle will help boost your metabolism so you can burn fat even whilst you rest.

01.01.2022 Weekend Drinking - How much is too much? Should you quit drinking while training? Does drinking affect your recovery? Today we’re going to give you our take on drinking alcohol. Alcohol and exercise are not a cocktail you want to MIX. Below are some things we feel you need to consider if you plan on having a big weekend and then hitting the gym a day later. Consuming alcohol affects:... - your central nervous system - Is dehydrating due to excessive urination - It is a depressant and exercise give you endorphins so what are you trying to achieve ??? - reduces motor skills and coordination - It impairs judgment/balance. - It also adds an additional element you need to burn off prior to burning FAT (nobody wants to make it harder to burn fat) - Alcohol can actually stunt muscle hypertrophy We encourage you to have fun in moderation and be aware of when you are exercising and ensuring you do not drink the night before any intense resistance training or exercise regime. #health #fitnessdonediffent #alcohol #moderation #fridayfitness

01.01.2022 Cardio vs resistance The ultimate exercise program for improving your overall body composition includes both cardio and weights. A lot of factors need to be considered for each individual such as age, health history, capability, time, lifestyle and goal to determine which is the better form of exercise. ... Cardio burns more calories during the workout than resistance or weight training however you burn more calories overtime including the recovery process with resistance. Keeping in mind that resistance training builds muscle which improves your metabolic rate. Can I just do weights and lose weight? The short answer is yes...BUT you would get more benefit if you can throw in some cardio to accelerate your results teamed with a healthy eating plan. Get-Fit Guy Brock Armstrong on January 22, 2020 stated in his article that researchers recommend you seperate your cardio and weights workouts by at least 6 hours for optimal neuromuscular and aerobic performance. So in a nutshell: 1. Get strong by separating your cardio and strength workouts to gain lean muscle mass and speed up your metabolism. 2. Do cardio on your non-strength days for extra calorie burn. 3. Follow a balanced healthy eating plan for best results. So really is was never about cardio vs resistance because they work together for a common goal.
