24.01.2022 Had some fun today teaching Cooper basic boxing skills. This was his first session and hes a quick learner to say the least, and his technique will only get better from here! It's so important that at a young age, kids are exercising and consistently working to improve their hand eye coordination. Boxing is the best for it, boxing will also teach discipline and help gain self confidence while having a good workout during.... If you have children who you want to participate in more fun physical activity, be more discipline or even to learn how to defend themselves - then send this page a PM.

24.01.2022 When Lincoln came to me - he had shoulder (rotator cuff) issues for 7 years, back issues for 9 years and knee joint pain ( and cartilage degeneration) for what would seem like forever! He wasn't able to box or move his shoulder to full range without his shoulder pinching, he wasn't able to walk for too long without his back and knees hurting, and his life was impacted as a result. After training only 4-6 weeks with him, Lincolns shoulders now barely have any pain, his walk...ing has improved dramatically and his knee pain is barely noticeable. For the first time in years, he achieved his goal of being able to Box again! -He came from not being able to go through full range of motion, to hitting the pads like a champ. For the first time in years, he walked for over 6.5 kms on the Bathurst track where the hills are so steep! - He came from only being able to walk about 5 or 10 minutes, to walking for hours. This is why I chose to be an Exercise Physiologist, not just a Personal Trainer. This is why i chose to have in depth knowledge of exercise & health, so that I can provide exercises that are based on scientific evidence and help others to the best of my ability. Once again, I am one proud trainer! Good on you Lincoln Tutt.

22.01.2022 How to stay positive during your exercise journey, despite barriers! - Tag a buddy who just jumped on the health wagon and read or watch the video below! Wherever the focus goes, the energy flows: Life is like a mirror that reflects our thoughts back at us, in other words - If I focus on things that are positive, then I am more likely to get a positive outcome in life, but If i focus on things that are negative, then I am more then likely to get a negative outcome. We can s...hift our focus to positive things by becoming mindful, this simply means that we become extremely aware of our thoughts and how we react to things in our everyday life. Having this ability is POWERFUL. It is powerful because it gives us the capacity to catch ourselves during our negative moments, and to shift our state of mind back to being positive. This decreases the chance of you letting any barriers or 'lemons' thrown from life, to stop us from achieving health! Zak - Exercise Physiologist

19.01.2022 *Sports Psychology* Here is a quick tip on how to use your investments' in a way that allows you to be healthier. Watch the 2 minute video below or read the following:... Investment can be performed in many ways: Investing your time, investing your effort, investing your money. The powerful concept here is, the more you invest towards something, the more valuable that something is. This occurs with everyday life, for example: If I was to buy an expensive laptop, then this laptop is greater value to me then buying a cheap one. This same concept can be used for your health. If we invest more into our health, the more we value our health. This can be through putting in the effort to meal prep, investing your time to research exercises or nutritional meals, or investing towards a 10 week challenge. ITS ALL INVESTMENT. Find a way to invest in yourself, so that you can value yourself. Zak - Exercise Physiologist

18.01.2022 Here is a small glimpse of a perfect Strength & Conditioning session for boxers! Here are some examples of why such exercises help with Boxing: Skipping:... Not in the video, but skipping acts as a plyo-metric exercise which increase the strength and explosiveness of your Dorsi Fexors and Plantar Flexors ( muscles surrounding the ankle). This helps boxers be more agile while boxing, and have more explosive movement while stepping forward, backward and to the side while boxing. Clap Pushups: Not in the video, this is a plyo-metric exercise that strengthens the fast twitch fibers of the upper body, allowing punches to be not only faster but more powerful. Boxing with weights: The weights act as an external load that add stress to your upper body. This is to improve the endurance of the upper body, that is, it improves the boxers ability to punch & keep guards up for longer before experiencing muscle fatigue. Resistant band exercise: The resistance band acts as a external load that adds strain to the muscles while performing a punch, as seen in the video. Through mimicking the motion of a punch, this exercise helps increases the nervous systems input that creates the punch - the brain sends a stronger/faster signal in order to recruit the correct muscles used to create that exact punch. Ball throwing and Thoracic rotation: While performing any punch - you are performing a thoracic rotation, a motion that includes turning from side to side basically. This motion is needed for the exercises to be tailored towards boxing, therefor things like ball throwing & resistance band exercises will help strength fast twitch fibers required for that exact motion. Interval training: Interval training such as using the battle rope ( hard then slow) allows the body to use all energy systems in a way that is similar to that of a boxing match. Aerobic energy system is the predominant contribution for energy, however during hard bouts, the anaerobic (lactic) energy system begins to contribute greater energy. This pattern is the same during a boxing match. Zak - Exercise Physiologist

18.01.2022 PT Prices are up. Rehabilitation sessions, and self defense group session are the same price. Take a leap and work for your health!... Zak

17.01.2022 A sweeter post. Personal training sessions have been family friendly with this client. Whether you have a child or not, are busy or flexible, there is always room for exercise! Exercise increases endorphins in the brain that allow you to feel happiness, and gives us a sense of control in our life. These exact endorphins are known to decrease chance of depression, reduce stress and improve brain function. Simply meaning that there is literally less chance of us feeling over ...whelmed by our daily tasks in life, if we choose to exercise. Good on Dan for fitting in the time, I think his son enjoyed it too! Zak - Accredited Exercise Physiologist

17.01.2022 *HOW IT ALL STARTED * Mick was my first ever client, and ended up becoming my best friend. I still remember a few years ago when he came to me asking for help, who he was then is completely different to who he is now. In a matter of only 3 months - Mick came from 117kg to 88kg. He then began training kick boxing and it became his passion. Mick is now very confident, is so social and has become a fitness fanatic. ... I've always been very proud of him, but today we get to praise his change. Private message to start your journey. Zak - Exercise Physiologist

16.01.2022 Got knees that can easily dislocate? or just bad knees in general? Then get of your high horse and do some of these! This exercise is called 'step downs' and is an amazing exercise for unstable patellas. This exercise works to increase the strength of the quads through eccentric contraction on the way down, and concentric contractions while stepping up. ... As a general principle, to improve stability of the knee patella, you need to exercise the muscles surrounding the knee. This is just one of many exercises used to improve stability of the knees, a few other exercises would include: Weighted hamstring curls, Step ups and Partial squats. If the Patella was dislocated outwards (laterally), then exercise that work on your adductors ( such as adduction with a band) would be best also, as this helps pull your patella inwards, reducing the chances of future dislocation. If the Patella was dislocated inwards (medially), the same concept applies, exercise your abductors to help pull the patella outwards and reduce the chance of future medial dislocation. #ExercisePhysiology #FitnessPhysiology

15.01.2022 A flash back to the awesome day with the challenge crew at Punches in Bunches! Did a mini triathlon including: a 3km run, 10km ride and 350m swim. Despite my lack of coordination while swimming, I loved every bit of it! #FitnessPhysiology #Triathalon

13.01.2022 Don't aim for just a better body shape, aim for a better life style. Below we have another client, Dan - who came to me wanting more definition around the stomach, improvements in general fitness and strength. Beside from achieving all of these factors, and losing approximately 3kg of only fat, his real achievement was quitting smoking. ... Dan was a regular smoker for nearly 10 years, having approximately 10 - 25 per day. Despite having the occasional one whilst drinking, Dan had completely stopped smoking. THIS was the biggest achievement of all. Through mentoring and one on one sessions, he was able to rid off an enormously addictive habit. I am one proud Trainer. Studies indicate that exercise actually helps reduce cravings & withdrawals symptoms from smoking, exercise also improves lung function by getting rid of carbon monoxide & other various toxins from smoking, in fact these positive affects can start occurring within just 2 days after quitting smoking. Exercise is medicine, and is the best alternative to any unhealthy habit. Zak - Exercise Physiologist

11.01.2022 *MOTIVATION 101* Watch this short clip or read the below There are two forms of motivation - External & internal... Internal refers to motivation from within, this form of motivation comes from enjoyment of the process. Internal motivation is generally stronger and keeps us exercising easily. External motivation refers to anything outside of the body, such as a desired goal or body type, or something that is positively reinforcing such as a rewarding yourself after an exercise session. If we don't enjoy exercise then we have no internal motivation, so we need to grasp on external motivation to keep us going. This can include reminding yourself of the particular body shape you want, or giving yourself various rewards for exercising. Eventually exercise will become a habit, and naturally you learn to enjoy it, and if we are enjoying the exercise then that means we are both internally & externally motivated.

07.01.2022 Best news I have heard in a while. Exercise is by far the most overlooked form of medicine. Regardless of your age, people with diverse chronic conditions can still benefit from exercise, and positively influence there conditions at the same time. So why not improve your quality of life? #Exercisephysiology

06.01.2022 A quick glimpse of drill I took at Punches in Bunches. Exercising while having fun is the only way to exercise, and for me personally, kick boxing is the funnest method to improve stamina and endurance. #FunFitness #FitnessPhysiology
