Change is good, mix it up, you will be surprised how good you feel when your body is challenged outside of your comfort zone!

Here are a few recommendations of mine:

Add one additional personal training session to your week and see your results come quicker than you imagined!

Try a new class – Extreme Training Camp, Hourglass Workout (early morning), Zumba, On the Ball or some resorative YOGA!

Make an appointment with our new in-house Nutritionist Terri Patterson- she can help you find healthy options to add to your regular menu!

Looking forward to seeing you be a healthier version of you in 2016!

Importance of Eating REAL FOOD!

Importance of Eating REAL FOOD!

Here is a great blurb from the article “When Hunger Strikes” by Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas- on why it is SO IMPORTANT to eat real food before you workout so you have energy to contract your muscles properly and in turn change your body composition!

“Let’s say you describe a typical day of what you eat. You had breakfast before work, snack around 10am and by noon you are ready for lunch! Yet, you forgot your lunch at home, so you head to your fav coffee shop and get a ham and cheese sandwich. It tastes great and you feel full. But what does your body say? The grehlin (a stress hormone) is yelling, asking for more food! It sees the sandwhich coming in! So it says great!! I love ham and cheese sandwiches!! What’s this? Bread. Cool! Fibre and carbs are coming! But wait a minute. Your body doesn’t recognize the refined processed white bread, so it decides to just put it aside for now and store it- on the butt, thighs, stomach, anywhere it can!”

“The grehlin keeps asking for more food. But what about the ham? That’s protein, right? But it is processed ham, and again your body doesn’t recognize it! It decides to store that too! Next is cheese. Great! Dairy and protein together! But its processed cheese and your body doesn’t know what it is! What does it do with it!? Stores it! Same with the mayo. So the grehlin keeps asking for more and more food and will not shut up until it is fed!”

“At the end of lunch , all you’ve really eaten is a slice of tomato and a piece of lettuce! Vegetables. But with that they’re only good for a few minutes. Its no wonder why you are hungry again in an hour! You haven’t actually eaten properly. So what do you do at the end of the meal with the grehlin still yelling for food? You get an oatmeal-raisin cookie! All the refined sugar will be stored with the rest of the junk. So, really lots of garbage just added to the pile of unwanted inches covering your body!”

“You may think that the stuff accumulating on your thighs at lunch time will get out at 6pm when you hit the gym. With no proper fuel and a hard workout., you will likely crash!”

“When your body needs fuel, it looks for good fuel. So it won’t take the fat/garbage that it did not want in the first place. It stored it once. It will not run to the garbage at the first sign of hunger.  If you are not eating it, you are stealing it from your body.  If the gylycogen store is empty, your body will look for protein for fuel. It might take some energy from your muscles and bones, and then your workout makes you actually weaker than you were before.  It will shrink your muscles, making you lose muscle mass, not fat.  The garbage will still be there, but the muscles will be shrinking, changing your body composition.”

IMPORTANT: Eat real food before you workout!!

Chin ups anyone?

Pull-up & Chin-up Technique.

Start each rep from a full hang with straight elbows. Clear the bar with your chin on every rep.

  • Chest Up. Don’t let your shoulders go forward. Lead with your chest up & keep your shoulders back.
  • Look Up. Try not to look down during Pull-ups & Chin-ups. Look at the bar. Look where you’re pulling yourself up to.
  • Elbows to The Floor. Drive with your elbows to the floor. This involves your back muscles more.

Common Errors. Most common error on Pull-ups & Chin-ups is cheating the range of motion by not going low or high enough on each rep.

  • Not Straightening the Arms.
  • Shoulders Going Forward. It’s bad posture & bad technique. Lead with your chest up while driving your elbows to the floor.
  • Using The Hips. Keep your legs inline with your torso.
  • Chin Over Bar. Nose or forehead against the bar is a partial Pull-up/Chin-up. Chin over bar unless you’re not strong enough yet.
