One of life’s realities is that significant improvements take time, they do not happen overnight. Yet when it comes to health and fitness we have been convinced that great results can occur in only 8 weeks or 12 weeks! How often do you see marketing on social media, in magazines and on TV for fitness challenges to get you in your best shape in 12 weeks? Today’s modern world is moving so fast and technology has allowed us to get things at the click of button that we have come to expect instant gratification in just about everything we do. And when it doesn’t happen people become discouraged very quickly and try one of two options. They try to cut corners and try extreme methods to speed things up or they simply give up. And it is not just the people trying to lose weight or get fit, we also see this same mentality with people suffering injuries that require a great deal of rehabilitation and work on their behalf. Many see this work as being too hard and taking too long and search for something to provide instant relief or someone to “fix them” instead. This short term approach only serves to create a much bigger long term problem. In this article I explain why long lasting results with health and fitness take considerable time and as a society we must begin to change our mindset to the way we look at exercise, nutrition, and changing lifestyle habits.
7 Reasons Why Strength Training For Females Is Essential
Having worked with hundreds of women over the past 20 years I have seen the constant struggles many females face when it comes to getting in great shape. While it is difficult for all of us to achieve great physical fitness it is fair to say the female population has a much more difficult road to take. From complex hormonal systems, to hyper-mobility, an anatomical structure that compromises stability, it can be difficult to enjoy exercise and fitness activities. When you add on top of this the constant body shaming, Instagram comparisons and belief that smaller is better, it is no wonder many women are turned off from trying to improve their health and fitness. I believe the community needs to understand just how important exercise and eating well is for women, and the dangerous risks to their health if they don’t. For while women tend to live longer than men, their quality of life is often diminished significantly due to several health factors. In this article, I discuss these factors and share some great information about female health and the things you can do to achieve great physical health.
How to Prevent Dementia & Improve Brain Health With Exercise & Nutrition
Anyone who has had a family member suffer with Dementia, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer disease will know all about the pain and stress that these diseases create. While we give so much attention to using exercise to improve how we look, improving the strength of our muscles and bone density, or even improving our overall cardiovascular health, we forget how important exercise is to our brain and cognitive function. I am certain many people do not realize just how important exercise is to maintaining a healthy brain and preventing the onset of debilitating diseases like dementia. Like most chronic diseases we tend to blame it on old age or genetics, and while these do play a part, it is our sedentary lifestyle and poor food choices that are mostly to blame for the rapid rise of these diseases. This means YOU have some control over this and can make a significant difference to the quality of your life as you age. In this article, I will show you how.
Is It Okay To Let Your Knees Go Over Your Toes When You Squat?
One movement that has a lot of confusion and controversy surrounding the “correct technique” to use is the squat. For a long time people have been told to keep their knees behind their toes or it will cause serious knee damage. This teaching is still used in many gyms and fitness centers today, yet the basis and logic for this instruction is more likely to cause harm and dysfunction than prevent it. If you watch elite weightlifters competing you will see their knees always go over their toes, and the taller they are, the further forward they go. And not only do they not have knee pain, they have legs stronger than most people on the planet. What causes knee pain has more to do with hip and foot mechanics combined with poor movement strategies that were either taught or learned from an early age. In this article, I will explain the theory behind the squat and help clear up what the correct movement you should be striving to achieve really is.
To Fully Strengthen The Glutes You Need A Wide Variety Of Exercises
If there is one an area of the body that I receive a stack of questions about it is the hip and the glutes. Even people I work personally with each week in the gym this can be a challenging set of muscles to improve their strength and function. For such a massive group of muscles it can be amazingly lazy and frustrating to work with when it comes to strengthening exercises. Some of the exercises that work tremendously well with one person, either do nothing or create harm in the next person. A classic example of this is with piriformis syndrome or SIJ dysfunction where the weakness in the glutes is the main source of the pain. If you choose the wrong exercise, or do too much too soon, you will risk creating more pain as the glutes switch off and compensatory muscles take over. In this article, I am going to share with you a detailed analysis of 15 exercises explaining exactly the purpose of the exercise and who it is best to. I will also provide a video explanation of exercise so you can implement this in your training straight away.
Strength Training For Sports – Explosive Speed Is All About Learning To BRAKE!
Anyone playing sports at a high level will appreciate the value a strength and conditioning program can provide and understand that training for the sport alone will not yield great results. Devoting too much time to strength and conditioning, at the expense of practicing skills in the sport itself is also a recipe for disaster, and there has been many potential athletes ruin their career from being too good in the gym. There must be a balance between all these variables, as there is only so much time that can be given to training, and more is not better. There is a fine line between over training that is counterproductive and exposes the athlete to injury or illness. Any strength program given to an athlete is to complement the bulk of their training which is built around the skills of the sport. This means that there is only a very small window of opportunity to give the athlete the type of training that will greatly enhance their athletic potential. And for almost any athlete in ball sports, the need to become explosively fast and also remain injury free would be at the top of the list of what they want their strength program to provide. In this article, we will show you that the best exercises and methods we use in our Sports Program for doing this are, and why many athletes may not be getting the most out of their training program.
Before You Try Intermittent Fasting Make Sure You Read This First!
Intermittent Fasting is currently one of the world’s most popular trends in the health and fitness industry, and it can provide some astounding results. As much as it is important to focus on “what you eat”, this is an example of getting “when you eat” right for your body. If you are using this with the intention of improving your overall health and vitality by simplifying your nutrition and lifestyle you will see great results.

We asked our trainer Mel to write this article as she has been using Intermittent Fasting since April 2019 and has seen great results with her energy and vitality. I like to think of this not as a diet, or a way to reduce calories, but as a more structured eating pattern that gives me more control over my nutritional requirements for optimal energy and health. In this article I am going to share with the critical things you MUST know if you want to make this eating method a success and the secrets to being able to sustain this for good.
Why Exercise Is VITAL For Our Mental Health
There is tons of information about the physical benefits provided from exercise, but what is not fully explained and understood is the benefits of exercise to our mental health. It is fair to say we are becoming more aware of the need to address mental health problems, and several institutes like Beyond Blue and the Black Dog institute do a fantastic job of educating the community to better understand how to treat these serious conditions. It has long been known that physical activity helps with depression but even as countless number of studies and evidence supports this, there is inconsistency into what type of exercise is best, and how much is enough? These are some of the questions we explored in this article and the results were very surprising.
Why Chin Ups Are The Most Powerful Exercise To Build Muscle & Core Strength
Core Strength Training requires a great integration with lower body and upper body and possibly the best exercise for achieving this would be the CHIN UP! Many of the people we see when they first start training lack a considerable amount of upper body strength. And women find chin ups significantly more difficult than men. Funnily enough, this exercise is their most hated when they start, but becomes their favourite when they become good at it! Unfortunately, many people don’t persist to learn good technique and build the strength to be able to lift your body which often leads to injuries and lack of ability, as many common movements such as lifting a box require strong upper body muscles. Just because pull-ups and chin-ups are hard, it doesn’t mean women can’t do them! In fact, you should be able to lift your own body with your arms. In nature, this sort of movement is very basic and in fact a matter of survival. A good example of this is it mimics the movement, strength and skill used with climbing!
Why I Love Using The Serratus Anterior Wall Slides Drill
I must admit when I first saw the serratus anterior wall slides I thought it was a complete waste of time and would do absolutely nothing to help me with my shoulder injury. After a few mediocre attempts at trying it I stopped and went back to what I was doing before. However, as the months went by and my shoulder continued to worsen with many different methods I began researching what the experts in shoulder rehabilitation were using. And I continually found that the Serratus Anterior Wall Slides was a common exercise drill used by several highly respected practitioners. Upon investigating this further I found this was an exercise founded by movement function pioneer Shirley Sahrmann in her book “Movement Impairment Syndromes”. I realized I needed to open my mind to this and decided to spend the time to really understand the purpose of this exercise and how to apply it correctly and see if it could help me. And within weeks I saw huge improvement which led me to finding the long term solution to my injury. This article I will explain what I learned and how it changed my approach to shoulders forever.
