25.01.2022 Foodie Friday! Let's start with breakfast! I love me a big bowl of oats! Here is 6 Reasons why oatmeal is a breakfast with benefits and if you’re not eating oatmeal every day, you should probably consider it!... 1. Oats Can Lower Cholesterol, Stabilize Blood Sugar, and Help You 'Go' Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber forms a viscous gel that helps to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood glucose levels. The insoluble fiber in oats helps provide a "moving" experience by curtailing constipation and improving intestinal health. 2. Oats Can Protect Your Heart and Your Colon A variety of antioxidants known as avenanthramides are found exclusively in oats. Avenanthramides have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-itching activity, and may provide additional protection against coronary heart disease, colon cancer, and skin irritation. They also may play a role in controlling blood pressure. 3. Oats Make an Easy, Balanced Breakfast One cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 150 calories, four grams of fiber, and six grams of protein. To boost protein further, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a swirl of almond butter nestled within. This powerful combo will keep you away from that midmorning visit to the vending machine. 4. Oats Provide Important Vitamins and Minerals Nutrient-rich oatmeal contains thiamine, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium, and iron. 5. Oats Are Gluten-Free Oats are naturally gluten-free, but check with manufacturers to ensure that their products are not made using the same equipment as other potentially contaminating grains. 6. Oats Can Help You Control Your Weight Oats can keep you feeling fuller longer, thereby helping you control your weight. Sadly, carbs are often shunned and feared by those looking to drop a few pounds, but whole grains can squash hunger and simultaneously provide that pleasant "ahhhh" feeling carb-lovers crave. As with any other food, be mindful of portion sizes #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist #oats #toowoombapt

23.01.2022 If you give a good thing to the world, then over time your karma will be good, and you'll receive good. Just today I went to the Red Cross to make my 74th Donation. Because I donate every 2 weeks I've become a bit of a regular there and have gotten to chat to a fair few of the staff, in particular, Terry the volunteer. I always enjoy going and chatting to Terry and getting to know him has only made donating all that more rewarding. Occasionally if i'm not busy I give Terry a... ride home or to the library, or the bank after his shift. Today that man gave me a gift, that he didn't have to, but felt the need to. A bottle of wine. I believe in karma and this experience has only reinforced to me how important it is to be kind to everyone and that strangers are just friends you haven't met. You only get out of life what you put into it. If you're all about hate then you will receive hate. If you're about giving and good then you still receive good things in return. Be kind to one another! #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist #karma @ Toowoomba, Queensland

14.01.2022 Who's likes eggs!? Both the white and yolk of an egg are rich in nutrients - proteins, vitamins and minerals with the yolk also containing cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat than the yolk. Eggs are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and... copper. Egg yolks contain more calories and fat than the whites. For years eggs were considered more of a health risk than a healthy food. This is because they were considered a high cholesterol food, so those with high cholesterol levels were advised to avoid them. We now know that the cholesterol found in food has much less of an effect on our blood cholesterol than the amount of saturated fat we eat. If you’ve been advised by your GP to change your diet in an attempt to reduce your blood cholesterol levels, the best thing to do is to keep to daily guideline intakes for saturated fat opting instead for mono-unsaturated fats found in olive and rapeseed oils. It's also a good idea to increase your intake of fruit, vegetables and fibre whilst minimising sugars and refined carbs. A recent study of nearly half a million people in China suggests that eating one egg a day may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, although experts stress that eggs need to be consumed as part of a healthy lifestyle in order to be beneficial. Eggs are a useful source of Vitamin D which helps to protect bones, preventing osteoporosis and rickets. Eggs should be included as part of a varied and balanced diet. They are filling and when enjoyed for breakfast may help with weight management as part of a weight loss programme, as the high protein content helps us to feel fuller for longer! Did you know that one medium egg (boiled) contains roughly 84 calories, 8.3g protein, 5.7g fat and 1.6g saturated fat. #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist #eggs

14.01.2022 Just a reminder of something to aspire to thanks to Dylan Shiel from the Essendon Bombers, 4 years ago with the GWS Giants! Check out that hammy strength!

12.01.2022 The deload week is a very underrated and important element of training and often not utilized. It gives you a chance for your body to recover from that deficit. It allows your body to catch up and to repair connective tissue and restore testosterone/cortisol ratios. Muscle can recover more quickly than connective tissue. The deload week also keeps your tendons and ligaments healthy. #harbortstrengthnnutrition #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist #strengthandconditioningcoach @ Toowoomba, Queensland

12.01.2022 Want to try something different for your leg day? Try this, Sissy Squat to Hack Squat. Be warned this is an advanced exercise and not to be taken lightly. Enjoy. #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist

12.01.2022 *ATTN* Why should you deadlift at least once per week... Deadlifts work your entire body. Incorporating deadlifts one or two days a week into a weight training session will develop strength in the hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and upper back.... They also rely on core strength to stabilize your body throughout the lift, which means you'll be working your abs on top of everything else. As if you needed more convincing, deadlifts often work your glutes more than squats do. This means you can get faster results on your backside than relying on squats alone. Building muscle helps increase your metabolism too, which in turn helps you lose more fat long-term. Deadlifts also build killer strength. Studies have shown that deadlift training generated huge improvements in strength and stabilityespecially in women who were relatively new to lifting. Because you're using muscles on both the front and back of your body, deadlifts protect your joints from unnecessary stress and future injury, which is an awesome added benefit. Deadlifts are great for building real life strength. Instead of working on purely cosmetic gains, deadlifts involve movements and muscle routines that are a huge part of our daily lives. This means deadlifts will make it easier for you to perform basic tasks, which directly contradicts the assumption that gym training doesn't actually prepare you for the real world. Even if strength isn't your main goal this is still a fantastic benefitespecially since it makes you feel like a badass. Deadlifts are a highly functional exercise. Increasing strength by deadlifting will prepare you for situations like carrying groceries, picking up someone who fell, or helping a friend on moving day. Lastly, Deadlifts will save you time! Compound exercises like deadlifts work more than one muscle group at a time. Instead of working on three different machines, you can work the same muscle groups in less time by performing the deadliftmaking it the ultimate time saver! #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist #deadlift #howmanydoyoudo #toowoombapt @ Toowoomba, Queensland

07.01.2022 Setting goals is not just important for health and fitness, but for all aspects of your life. It doesn't matter if it's nutrition related, fitness or strength related, job related or relationship related. Here is a simple guide to help... Steps to Set Goals. 1. Decide... Think of something you want to do or work towards...... 2. Write it down. Carefully.... 3. Tell someone. Telling someone we know about our goals also seems to increase the likelihood that we will stick at them. 4. Break your goal down. This is especially important for big goals... 5. Plan your first step... Keep going... 6. Celebrate! If you need help with your health and fitness goals I'm more than happy to help. So just hit me up! #harbortstrengthnnutrition #bigdogtraininginstitute #ELE #fitspo #comegetsome #toowoomba #teamharbort #coachsteve #fitnessmotivation #malemodel #personaltrainer #nutritionist
