Get with the programme

Thursday 19th September 2013

Without a doubt the foundation of many troubles people have in losing weight, getting fit and building muscle is not using a programme designed by a professional and sticking to it. I've seen hundreds of people over the years do the same chest, arm and abdominal exercises and literally get nowhere.

Knowing how to exercise safely and effectively is essential to any weight loss program. This is because there are far too many myths surrounding an effective weight loss exercise plan.
A healthy exercise program is essential to any weight loss program as the basis for any weight loss is to create a calories deficient state within the body. The calories deficient state can be achieved in three ways:

1). by reducing the amount of calories consumed (i.e. through the consumption of foods and drinks);
2). through the expenditure of excess calories,
3). or the combination of the two

Losing weight through calories consumed alone is not recommended as it will trigger the fight or flight mechanism within the body, encouraging a reduction in the metabolic rate as well as an increase in the Cortisol Hormone, which is the hormone responsible for fat storage.

However, the combination of a healthy diet and exercise plan will prevent a drop in the metabolic rate, which will also mean that not only weight loss is achieved at a greater rate, but also that it is easier to sustain the weight loss.

A weight loss exercise program should be viewed as a long-term solution in order to enable a gradual increase in the intensity and therefore reducing any chances of injury.
Working with a programme that utilises the overload principle, periodisation and other facets of an intelligent scientific programme will help ensure progress is constant. You need to work hard but you also need to work smart.

To get booked in for a programme that will deliver results just speak to Giles or any other member of staff.
