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!!
Pull-up & Chin-up Technique.
Start each rep from a full hang with straight elbows. Clear the bar with your chin on every rep.
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.
Don’t be a hater of burpees any longer! It happens to be one of the most under-rated exercises there is! Only body weight needed. Blasts your stamina and helps you lose FAT! It can condition your entire body and help to develop strength, explosive power and anaerobic endurance!! YES all this in a little BURPEE!
Here is a short video on How to perform a perfect Burpee!
"Sometimes we should all look back to see how far we’ve come, rather than constantly looking forward to what we have yet to achieve…." Author Dean Maahs
I was recently at a client’s wedding and her groom spoke these powerful words.
How often do you take the time to see how much progress you have made in your personal fitness level? Did you write down when you started training for a certain goal or do you just workout hoping things will change? Did you set a goal?
The certified personal trainers at Perfect Form Personal Training Studio in Ajax are professionals that can give you a total fitness assessment, complete with measurements, body weight, body fat percentage, body water percentage, before photo, and a scoring of your fitness level! The experienced trainers can also help you streamline how you should train your body to achieve your goals and get the results you are craving! (For instance training for a marathon or training to lose 45lbs!) Your fitness trainer is the one that can make a difference in whether it takes you 5 years to get to your goal or only 6 months!
Getting in shape takes time, effort and proper exercise and nutrition! Everyone CAN use a trainer to personally coach them on these 4 aspects!! You will then be able to visually see where you’ve come from (on paper) and what you have achieved, usually in a much more time efficient manner when utilizing a Personal Trainer from Perfect Form!
We need goals in life, but sometimes you focus so much on where you are headed, that you forget to take a step back and realize all you’ve accomplished.
A client of mine recently lost a lot of weight. However, she has said to me “I’m still not there yet.” And yes she still has a goal that she wants to get to but why not take a second to look back and celebrate.
Celebrate the fact that 1) she has made an attainable goal with the help of a trainer and 2) she is on her way to achieving it! Why not realize that she has worked hard for many months as well as become focused on where she would like to be by next summer?
Goals are needed, accomplishments make you smile, and celebrations are warranted! Don’t forget to take some time and look back.
