11cm off in 2 weeks

I did a quick remeasure of one of my clients today. It had only been 2 weeks since Amanda's last measure, which is really way too soon to be doing it again, but she was pretty keen to see how she is going.

Amanda has lost a total of 11cm in the last 2 weeks by following my nutritional plan, doing regular group fitness sessions with me and by doing her 'homework' fitness sessions as she calls them. That is a fantastic result and added to the 10cm or so that she had lost from when she first started my plan to the last remeasure is absolutely amazing. She is well on the way to the body of her dreams.

The improvement in Amanda's fitness is incredible too. She has gone from not being able do even a few repetitions of most of the exercises, to being able to do different variations of the many different exercises and movements that we do in the group fitness sessions. I am so proud of her. She is really putting in the effort and the results are showing this.

It really is important to follow the whole plan, eating the correct nutritious foods and doing all the workouts that I set for you. Anyone can do this if they want to change.

Well done Amanda. Just remember to keep eating ALL the food on your plan!!

Men Required and My workout of the day

It's official, I need men. My workouts don't just work for women. Does your man need some shaping up? What about his health, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease. Regular exercise decreases the symptoms and the risk of getting these things in the first place.

A few men have tried the workouts and found them surprisingly challenging. And to all you men out there that are hanging it on your wives and girlfriends while they do it, how about putting your body where you mouth is and having a go yourself!! I challenge any of you to do a workout with us and see how you go. It is also great training to improve your performance in any sport. Greater strength and endurance, greater core control, faster, quicker, leaner who could ask for more.

Now my workout of the day:

Thursday
50 minute run at 12.2kph plus warm up and cool down

Friday
5.45am mini circuit of the following 5 x through
20 x KB swing each arm
20 mountain climbers on each leg
20 swiss ball sit ups
20 up and downers (you ladies know what they are)
20 plyometric jumping lunges

9.30am Pump class for 60 minutes at YMCA

10.30am 20 minute mini posterior chain circuit in YMCA gym
lat pulldowns 2 x 10
low cable row 2 x 10
incline rear shoulder raise 2 x 10
stiff legged deadlift 2 x 10
one arm bent over dumbbell row 2 x 10

WHAT A DAY!!

I challenge you blokes to a workout with me any day.

Saturday
Abs circuit
various planks, crunches, leg raises, sit ups etc for 20 minutes

Can you see your abs fellas?? I can see mine!

Ladies show your man this post and get him off his __________ Or tell the men you know at work, family, friends etc. I would really appreciate it.

Online Training Plans

As you know, any online training plan clients can come to any group fitness session for $5-. I have decided to extend the offer, by making the 3rd or 4th session in any week free to those clients.

Any 12 or 24 session package clients can have their 4th session free in each week.
Now that is an incentive to come more often!! Remember the more consistent you are with your training, the better your results will be.

All those due for a remeasure and weigh in next week, please contact me via email or phone to organise a suitable time. This is for all those that have been training or doing their nutrition plan for 4 weeks. I will keep everyone posted on the great results that I know they are going to get.

The group fitness times are:
Monday 6am and 9.30am at my place
Wednesday 6am at my place
Wednesday 5pm at Jack pascoe reserve
Saturday 9.30am at Princes Park

Please remember to let me know you are coming. And to all those who want to come and try, your first session is FREE.

By the way, I went to a PUMP class this morning at the YMCA. It was really great for a change and I enjoyed it. Just remember that you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to get great results. Bring on the variety!!

Monday 6am my place
Monday 9.30am my place
Wednesday 6am my place
Wednesday 5pm Jack Pascoe Reserve
Saturday 9.30am Princes Park

All sessions start promptly on time and are suitable for everyone from total beginners to the more advanced. You must book if you are coming the day ahead and cancel if you can't make it.

All clients signed up for group session packages can come to any or all of the above sessions as can online trainees who can attend for $5 per session. Please remember to book before you attend.

Free Fitness Training Session

Is it possible to train effectively without a fitness coach? Yes it is. Most definately you can work out and exercise without a fitness coach to help you.

But most people need the extra motivation that having a coach and a set appointment can provide.

Our bodies are very good at acclimatising to any stress placed upon it. That is how you get fitter. A correctly organised and progressive program will improve your fitness a lot quicker and get you to your goals sooner.

Want a fit, lean and firm body? Want more energy all day every day? Want to fit into the size you used to wear? Want a shapely butt and thighs, a flat stomach, what about washboard abs? Want to improve you sports performance, get faster, have more endurance? Want to achieve all this in the shortest possible time without getting injured or getting bored before you get there? This is where a Fitness Coach comes in.

There are many variables in a properly structured training plan:

Different exercises

Different variations and progressions of those exercises

Varying rest periods

Varying work periods

Numbers of sets

Numbers of repetitions

Changing resistance

Changing recovery periods (days off)

Order of exercises

Frequency of training

Different modes of training-cardio, strength etc

Overall volume of training

Different equipment use

Proper use and progression of all of the above variables will get the best results and will vary depending on your individual fitness level, goals, past injuries, time available, motivation and capabilities as well as your individual ability to absorb and recover from the training load placed on you.

I can design individual programs that are geared towards you and your circumstances. Programs that will get you the best results, no matter what your goals.

Come and try one of my group sessions at no cost and see what it is all about. The exercises within each session are geared to the individual's level whether you are a pure beginner or have been training for some time.
