What is your body worth?

Sat ,07/11/2009

Thinking about Personal Training with me here in Epsom but perhaps feel you cant afford it?

Can you afford not to should be the question!

How much more would you be able to accomplish with your day if you were strong, fit and healthy. If you were full of energy and had a more inspired and positive perspective on the world.

If you feel confident in your body imagine how confident you’ll feel in the workplace and in life, you could be unstoppable.

How many more people could you speak with, how much more effective could you be in your day, how much time could you save - how much further ahead from the field could you stride?

To complete a tough physical task will give you mental tenacity like few other things in life will. if you are strong enough in the gym to push through your fears and doubts, the cross over it has in everyday life is outstanding. You can overcome anything life throws at because your body is strong. A strong body houses a strong mind.

Strengthen your body to strengthen your mind and in turn your life. Become more successsful in all you do.

Call me, your Epsom Personal Trainer today and arrange your free consultation. TAKE ACTION and build MOMENTUM toward a new stronger, better you!

Argh…..”cardio”

Sun ,01/11/2009

Hoorah another mistaken belief. Time and time again I hear and see written questions and statements about “cardio”;

“How much cardio should I do?”

“I run for 45 minutes a day for cardio”

“You have to be on the crosstrainer for at least 30 mintes to burn any fat”

“I am in the fat burning zone on the treadmill”

PUUUHHLLEASE

Cardio= anything that raises your heart rate above a certain point, not mandatorily in the “cardio” section of the gym. Squat your bodyweight for 5 minutes as fast as you can and tell me it’s not cardio.

As for the length of “cardio” needed for health. Very little. Get your heart rate above 160 for 10 minutes and you’ll be as healthy as you’re ever going to be or have been. NOT EVERY DAY either - give it a rest let your heart heal.

Minimal impact cardio can be done with weighted exercises performed correctly with little rest. All the benefits of “cardio” and resistance training in one. No drawbacks.

Exercised Obsessed - Epsom Personal Trainer

I was talking with a friend not so long ago about the culture surrounding exercise, the blurring lines between exercise and sports training.

We concluded that you have two distinct types of personalities that exercise;

1) The “Go when I can be bothered” type, which means not very often, peer pressured into it.


2) The “It makes me feel so good I feel weird if I don’t go” crowd, which means addicted. Two very extreme approaches.

It seems people look at exercise as a means of pleasure or pain. Why not just look at it like sleeping, sure you can live without it but to function fully and be as amazing as the human can be, YOU NEED it.

A great book by a great author;

Exercise is no different, you can function and survive as a human without it - but why not thrive, with it.

With no more than 1 hour per week at the absolute maximum you can have all the benefits that exercise can bring and
