20.01.2022 I would like to give a special mention to the hard work and dedication put in by this guy over the past 8 weeks. With an extremely busy lifestyle, Glenn has kept his nutrition on point and never missed a training session giving his absolute all every time. He has reduced his Waist Circumference by a massive 17.5cm. We speak about the dangers of Visceral Fat i.e. fat stored within the abdominal cavity, when compared to subcutaneous fat i.e. fat just underneath the skin. Visc...eral Fat is wrapped around your organs deep within your abdominal cavity and has been very strongly linked with Metabolic Disturbances, Cardiovascular Disease, and Type 2 Diabetes. This is why practitioners are placing greater emphasis on waist circumference as opposed to other indicators when treating patients. Such is the importance of this measurement, specific figures of 102cm (Male) and 88cm (Female) have been released. A circumference greater than this indicates a higher increased risk of chronic disease. Before you get worried, just look at what Glenn has done in only 8 weeks (17.5cm!). All you need is the determination to make it happen, the exercise and nutrition side of things are actually very straight forward. Well done Glenn, proud of you mate!
14.01.2022 Osteoporosis and Exercise Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle significantly increasing the chance of fracture. According to the International Osteoporosis Federation, in Australia 42% of Men and 51% of women over the age of 60 are Osteoporotic or Osteopenic (i.e. the midpoint between healthy bones and osteoporosis). The cost of Osteoporosis to Australians is predicted to be 3.84billion per year by 2022 and is ever growing. Non-modifiable risk ...factors include age and genetics. But there are several modifiable risk factors: poor diet, low calcium/vitamin D intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, and certain medications can all increase the rate of bone deterioration. In recent years the evidence for the use of exercise in preventing and managing Osteoporosis has become overwhelming. Exercise has been shown to not only halt bone deterioration, but to even increase bone density in those at risk . However, we are not talking about traditional forms of exercise e.g. walking, cycling, swimming, or even your average gym program. Whilst all great for ones health, these activities do not provide a significant enough stimulus to bone that will result in a sufficient adaptive response. That is, we require more significant tugging/pushing on bone and much greater ground reaction forces than those elicited in the above activities. Such an effect can only be achieved via Progressive Strength Training and High Impact Training. A 2018 study done on postmenopausal woman with low bone mass, led by researchers at Griffith University, provides very strong evidence that Progressive Strength Training and High Impact Exercise is needed to prevent and manage Osteoporosis. Using the big three strength movements (Deadlift, Squat, and Overhead Press) along with a high impact Jumping protocol, this study showed incredible results right across the board. It also demonstrated that such exercise is very safe (regardless of age!), provided it is programmed and supervised by an Exercise Specialist. At Zen we have ongoing small group classes specifically aimed at increasing bone strength for the over 60 population. The classes are affordable, never have more than 6 people, and will always be devised and directly supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. References: Iofbonehealth.org. (2017).
