25.01.2022 We understand times are tough. We also understand how important looking after your health and fitness is. So, we decided to help.... This offer is valid until the 22nd of July, and is for new members only. For more information, head to our website at: https://studiokineticmelbourne.com/anti-challenge-system

23.01.2022 [SNEAK PEEK] SMART SWAPS. One of the many webinars in our Anti-Challenge System is all about ‘smart swaps’, brought to you by @nutrition_al_ . For many, the association is that in order to make healthy choices, food has to be bland and boring (think: chicken and broccoli).... As you can see from the screen grabs, that is not the case! There are so many ways to eat a more balanced diet, simply by swapping a few foods. The more smart swaps you can make in your day, the healthier you will become. To watch the full narrated webinar, plus many more that are part of our Anti-Challenge System, send us a DM.

23.01.2022 Smoothies can be a great breaky, snack or post-workout meal...but there are a few tricks to make sure you are getting the most out of your smoothie! Here are @nutrition_al_ ‘s, our resident Student Dietitian, smoothie hacks: PUT IT ON A PLATE. ... Lay all your ingredients out on a plate - if you wouldn’t sit down and eat it, don’t blend it and drink it. INCLUDE VEGGIES. Smoothies are usually fruit based, which is fine, but adding some veg can bulk your smoothies up and add some extra fibre without overpowering the fruit flavour. Try frozen zucchini, cauliflower or spinach. ADD HEALTHY FATS. Often smoothies have lots of carbohydrate containing foods but don’t forget to add some healthy fats to help you feel fuller for longer. Try avocado, peanut butter or chia seeds. INCLUDE A SOURCE OF PROTEIN. This doesn’t have to be protein powder - add milk or yoghurt. Protein will help to keep you full and help you recover if you have just done a workout. CHOOSE LOW GI. Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy, but some provide the energy more slowly than others. Choose rolled oats or banana. Keep an eye out for some smoothie recipes coming soon!

22.01.2022 [INTRODUCING SNACK BOXES] Everyone loves snacks, right? Usually though, the tastier the snack...the worse it is for you. ... (I speak from experience...

Put together by our resident Nutritionist, Alexandra; our snack boxes are full of delicious, tasty, HEALTHY snacks that have been given the tick of approval from a qualified Nutritionist (and soon to be Dietitian).

22.01.2022 It’s been a long year, but we are finally back! Cannot begin to thank the entire Kinetic family enough for sticking by us throughout this whole roller coaster, you guys are unbelievable. It is because of you all that there is still a Kinetic to come back to. ... Cannot wait to repay you with some Airbike intervals that you all love so dearly. SS

20.01.2022 The blog is back... with a new author! In her debut blog post, Coach Sarah explores the idea that there is more to exercise than just weight loss. Enjoy!... https://studiokineticmelbourne.com/theres-more-to-exercise/

18.01.2022 [IN CASE YOU MISSED IT ON IG] Sore when you Squat? Perhaps a regression is in order. If you have been hitting lots of lounge room iso squats, but are experiencing pain in your knees, hips or lower back, then you may need to try a Sit to Stand instead! ... The Sit to Stand is one of our favourites at Kinetic, we use it as a staple for beginners when teaching the Squat pattern, if we need to re-train a faulty movement pattern or if we need to train around an injury. The beauty of this exercise is it allows for a full reset after each rep, and only focusses on the concentric, or up phase, of the movement. Basically, it gives you less to do but more time to think about it. The main teaching points: 1. Set up on your box/chair with feet hip width apart, knees out over toes 2. Hinge forward with your torso while maintaining a neutral spine (your shins and your torso should be at a relatively parallel angle) 3. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes and push the ground away when you stand up Swap these for your Squats and see if you notice a difference

18.01.2022 Grateful, especially for the little things. All any of us Melbournians can do currently is our best. Whatever that looks like, that’s okay. ... Reminding yourself that you are strong Running more than you walked for the first time Letting yourself off the hook and being proud for just completing a workout, without worrying about the intensity These are the thoughts that will get you through Lockdown, and will hold you in great stead for the years beyond, too. @ Home

15.01.2022 Where there’s a will, there’s a way... Kinetic goes outdoors in less than a week! We could not be more excited, it’s been a long time between Airbike intervals.... See you all next week

15.01.2022 [TRACK TUESDAYS] Coach Sarah has recently introduced ‘Track Tuesdays’, whereby the Kinetic family is encouraged to get out to their local running track/park/oval (basically anywhere outdoors) and do their workout in the fresh air and sunshine! The mental benefits of getting outside and getting moving are enormous; if you’re feeling a bit bored of your lounge room, give Track Tuesdays a go and see how you feel afterwards ... We’re halfway through Melbournians, let’s do this @ Outside

12.01.2022 For too long, too many lies have been spread about the best/only/secret way to lose weight- especially toward women. "Just cut out carbs, they're not good for you" "Keto is the best way to lose fat"... "800 calorie diets are the only way to shed the kilos" Well, the lies stop now. It's time someone told the honest truth. Please share this if you believe in the message. https://studiokineticmelbourne.com/ladies-you-need-to-eat-/

11.01.2022 Things that happen during the Zoom classes: Lots of talking shit Lots of laughing A sprinkling of exercise thrown in... Things that don’t happen during the Zoom classes: Attempting to replicate the exact intensity of a class in the gym Taking ourselves very seriously Everyone cheering YAY when it’s announced we are doing Commandos The Zoom classes are more about keeping a routine and enjoying some social interaction, than making serious gains. Especially during this current time, having a laugh and talking to others is more important than chasing PB’s. If you want to do that though, that’s absolutely fine. If you don’t, that’s equally as fine. Point is, everyone needs to get what they want out of their online training, without the pressure to make it exactly like it would be in a usual gym class.

10.01.2022 We need to start prioritising people’s mental health. For many, gyms and personal training studios are an escape, a safe space, and the only thing that enables them to cope with their day to day lives. The benefits of exercise on both physical and mental health have been widely documented - so why are they being ignored? ... Simply going for a run/walk or doing a workout in your lounge room, does not have anywhere near the same effect getting out of the house to the gym, seeing and interacting with other people, and getting a solid session in has. Many would have you believe that gyms are a hotbed of Covid, but the data provided by @fitnessaustralialtd points exactly to the contrary. 6.26 million check ins, 0 Covid cases. Despite this, it is looking likely gyms will be the last things to open up in Melbourne. A petition has been started imploring the Andrews government to allow gyms and fitness facilities to re-open, we are happy to comply with every single guideline we need to. To sign the petition, please see the link in our bio. #lockdown #openup #mentalhealthmatters

10.01.2022 THINGS DON’T ALWAYS RUN SMOOTHLY. Instagram might like you to think things run like clockwork, but as you can see... they really don’t.

07.01.2022 BRING ON THE 22ND! Strict hygiene protocols are in place at the studio to ensure our Kinetic family remains safe & healthy. Not long now

05.01.2022 Struggling to sleep? We may have the solution... Most people know that sleep is very important. However, sleep quality & quantity is something that a lot of people tend to struggle with. The benefits of having a good night’s sleep are endless; adding a few of these tips into your bedtime routine can help improve the quality of your sleep dramatically.... GET OUTSIDE During the day (ideally the morning), spend time outdoors & get some sunshine. EXERCISE Lifting weights, running, even going for a walk will help as long (as it’s not too close to your bed time). REDUCE SCREEN TIME Try to avoid watching TV, going on your phone etc. in the last hour before you sleep. CONSISTENT BED TIME Try to go to sleep + wake up around the same time every day to set your body clock. The benefits of good sleeping habits include: Improve mood & feelings of happiness, improved overall wellbeing. Improve brain function (decision making / clarity of thinking). Improved training performance + recovery between sessions. Reduced daily stress / emotional distress. Give some of these tips ago and see if you reap some of the benefits!

05.01.2022 With all going to plan, we are back in business as of the 22nd of June, as outlined by the State Government yesterday. 4 weeks. Let’s get it

01.01.2022 [ATTENTION: BEGINNER RUNNERS] With the exercise restrictions we are currently facing, many of you have decided to begin running. This is fantastic, running is a great way to exercise for a multitude of reasons, but you need to be aware that certain surfaces may put your body under more strain than others. ... Here are the most common 4, ranked in order of most ideal to least ideal for beginners: 1. Grass 2. Gravel Track 3. Road 4. Concrete Footpath These surfaces are ranked based on amount of give in them; running on grass vs concrete footpath is going to provide your joints with far more cushioning with each footstrike, and lessen the impact going into your body. If you have been pounding the pavement during Lockdown, and have been getting pain anywhere in your lower limbs, it might be time to try and switch up the surface you are running on (within a 5km radius of you home, of course). Get out there, keep being active, but just aim to run on the softest surface possible @ Mitcham, Victoria
