15.01.2022 Virtual HIIT starts in 20 minutes!!! See you soon ID 341203700

15.01.2022 Types of medium and high intense exercise All the exercise mentioned in the low intense list can easily be made harder to push you up into the medium - high intense level. In this med-high intense exercise zone we also begin to include resistance/strength training, high intense interval training (HIIT), playing competitive sport and even manual labour jobs.... Medium intensity brings your heart rate into the 70-85% zone and increases your exertion further. This training is the foundation to your high intense training and although it requires more recovery than low intense you can still do this exercise regularly. High intense exercise brings your heart rate into the 85-100% zone and increases your exertion to the maximum potential. Once you have built your foundation you can then challenge yourself occasionally with the highest intense exercise you can perform. This exercise requires more recovery and cant be done as frequently as medium or low intense exercise. A general rule is the 80/20 principal. 80% of your training program should be within the medium intensity and the final 20% you can push yourself closer to the maximum intensity!

15.01.2022 Getting ready for Carols HIIT class requires extra warming up for Cameron. Well see you soon! meeting id: 760 579 140

14.01.2022 As the Gym is reopening it is important to be cautious with the approach you take with your workout program and also be honest with your strength and fitness ability after (possibly) a substantial time away from medium-intense exercise. Think about what you were doing previously and reduce your intensity by ~30%. Follow this for a couple of weeks and then gradually begin to increase your intensity. (This will apply both for strength and cardio exercise.) Even though it might feel a bit frustrating not being able to do what you could before this will be a great time to dial in, slow it down and perfect your technique. Your performance will come back soon enough.

07.01.2022 Your next weekly workout is here! Thanks to Cam This week try changing up either your workout intensity or how long you go for & let us know which one you try! griffith.edu.au/come-back-stronger

07.01.2022 Types of low intense exercise you can be doing daily: 30 - 60 minutes per day 1. Walking/Jogging 2. Swimming or aqua aerobics 3. Cycling... 4. Watercraft activities like kayak, canoeing or stand up paddle board 5. Stretching routines 6. Beginner Yoga or Pilates classes 7. Beginner dancing class 8. Even household chores like cleaning or tidying up the lawn is included The goal here is maintaining your heart rate and exertion at a low intensity. This means maintaining you heart rate within 50-70% of your max heart rate. Another way of measuring this is Rate of Perceived Exertion (rpe). You breathing rate should be fairly normal, if it is a cool day you shouldnt be sweating too much - and you should be able to maintain a conversation or sing a song during the exercise. If your heart rate and exertion is increasing past this point you are then moving into medium intense exercise. Low intense exercise can be done daily because you easily recover from it. Medium to high intense exercise requires more planning and thought, as there is an increased risk of injury if recovery is not properly considered.

06.01.2022 A quick reminder that our facility is closed today, 5th of October due to the Queen's Birthday Public Holiday. We will return tomorrow, 6th of October, with an extension to Friday's operating time: Friday - 6 am to 7 pm

04.01.2022 How much exercise should you be doing? To maintain an adequate level of health and fitness you should be doing at least 30 minutes each day of low intense exercise. If you have an active job you may already achieve this but if you have a sedentary job you will need to make time out of your day to make sure you go for a light walk/run, swim or bike ride (etc). This exercise is the foundation for healthy joints, muscles, heart and lungs but it is unrealistic to think this is al...l you need to make changes to your body composition, in terms of fat loss or muscle gain or increased physical performance. If you want to make significant changes to your body composition and performance you need to maintain the above as well as follow a medium to high intense training program, specific to your goals for 2-4 days per week (or more depending on your current level of fitness). This also needs to coupled with a diet to make sure you are eating the right food to fuel these workouts. You can easily maintain your low intense exercise without much equipment, but it is the Gym that makes the medium to high intense exercise much more effective. Combine this with a personalised training program or personal training and you will be on your way to achieving those long term goals you have set.

03.01.2022 Catch the 7am!!! See you soon.

03.01.2022 MEMBER OF THE MONTH We are super excited to bring back Member of the Month! This October, we feature Christine Reilly! A long-standing gym member, Christine attended almost all of our virtual classes even during the COVID closure and continues to do so, often exercising twice a day. Talk about dedication!... Super friendly and approachable, Christine is also often overheard motivating other members to join the Group Fitness classes and promoting the benefits of keeping active. She is also always keen to help out other members and is just a ray of sunshine!

02.01.2022 Havent trained for awhile?? Join us at the 12noon Hiit Session! Zoom ID 760 579 140

02.01.2022 Your fitness level, and their fitness level + the difference between exercising and training! Over the past few weeks we have explained the difference in intensity that you may feel during exercise. Another important thing to consider is that everybody has their own level of fitness. What you may consider low intense someone else may consider high intense. ... This is because there are many variables that need to be taken into account when designing an appropriate training program. Training programs may often look similar in terms of exercise selection but it is managing the sets, reps, intensity, recovery and training days that need to be specific to the individual to allow an effective but safe training program. This is the difference between exercising and training. Exercise is doing physical activity, where as training is doing physical activity correctly and safely with a goal in mind that develops results and changes. If you want results you need a plan - and if you can get help from a professional you can accelerate how quickly you achieve these goals.

02.01.2022 Hey Guys, looking forward to seeing you soon in our upper body focus HIIT class.
