Watch your back

Scott Hunt — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:47:59 +0000

If you sit for long hours in front of your computer or at a desk, it is important to take care of your back.

80% of people will have some form of back pain sometime in their life.
More often than not it’s completely avoidable, so here’s a few simple ways you can avoid the pain: Adopting the right posture when you sit is crucial for your back. You should be sitting with your spine straight and not in a slouching manner. Use an ergonomic chair or even a pillow to give you added support. Sitting in one position for long hours can be daunting for your back, so take a few breaks by walking around or doing stretching exercises. Wear the right footwear which helps to distribute your weight evenly without putting pressure on any particular part of your body. Ladies if you must wear heels, make sure you keep your feet happy and comfortable. The wrong footwear can give you bad back pain!

Above all else the number one way to look after your back is to exercise. Before or after work, get out and move your body enough to make up for eight hours at a desk. And remember, when it comes to your health:

If you don’t use it you will lose it!

So if you’re not using it, isn’t it time you took a look at getting a Gold Coast Personal Trainer?

A weight loss program that has been planned just for you by a personal trainer is the best sure-fire way to lose weight. There’s heaps of Gold Coast Personal Trainers out there, so what should you look for in a personal trainer? First your Personal Trainer should have the necessary qualifications to back him up and should also have done a course in fitness for at least one year.

Moreover, he has the ability to make clients comfortable and gives them due priority too.

Lose weight the colourful way

The latest Australian promotion of healthy eating states that everybody should eat ‘ two servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables daily’ in order to get a daily intake of nutrients. But what if you love fruits but hate the sight of greens at meal times? Although this is a good guideline to ensure that you eat right, remember that variety is the real spice of life. Even if your daily intake of fruits is more than vegetables, your body will still get all the nutrition it needs to perform daily tasks. Ensure that you get fruits and vegetables with different colours. Fruits and vegetables with bright colours like purple and orange have a higher level of antioxidants and are rich in vitamins as well. Eating right, will keep you in optimum health and help you lose weight faster.

Walking your dog has so many benefits for you. Dogs love to go for walks, and can actually help you lose weight just like a Personal Trainer. Dogs can be very persistent especially if you take them out for walks at a certain time. Even if you aren’t in the mood on a rainy day, chances are that your lovable pet just won’t take no for an answer. Your pet is also likely to sprint now and then and the faster they run, the more calories you are likely to burn as well. Great for boosting up overall fitness! Best of all walking your dog doesn’t cost a thing, and it’s a great social activity if you like meeting new people or catching up with old friends with their dogs. Or take your dog to the leash free beach at the spit, just north of Surfers Paradise So, the next time your four legged buddy pesters you for a walk, put on those jogging shoes and have a great workout.

You can’t get fat on your Birthday……can you!?

Scott Hunt — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:48:40 +0000

If your birthday is just around the corner but the idea of enjoying your favourite cake makes you think twice; it’s time to relax and plan your party. You don’t gain weight just by indulging or pigging out on a single day. Weight gain depends upon your lifestyle and diet over a certain period of time. Your birthday comes just once a year after all and the last thing to be worried about is how many kilos you would have gained by the next day. However, to truly enjoy your special day, begin by taking care of your diet and working out as early as you can. That way, you will feel confident about looking good and stay guilt free on your birthday too. So, go ahead and make it a day to remember, but keep the celebrations to just that one day.

We have had countless clients lose half a kilo a week on average until they reach their goal weight. This is a mere 70 grams a day, which doesn’t seem like much compared to the latest revolutionary Hollywood diet, however it really adds up…quickly! Sure in January some people will lose more weight on the latest fad diet, but by February it will be driving them crazy and they will quit. We all know the story – by the end of March the 5kg they lost will be back, plus an extra kilo in sympathy. Compare this to losing a mere 70 grams a day, at this rate you will be an impressive 6kg lighter by March! A year down the track the fad person will be in the exact same position with the exact same New Years resolution and feeling even worse and heavier than they did last year. If you keep up your Personal Training once a week, get in a few decent walks and use some common sense and healthy choices in regards to food imagine where you will be this time next year!

Losing 70grams a day for a year equates to an amazing 25kg you can lose across 2010! In fact we’ve had clients drop this much weight in as little as five months from pretty much the same program. Check out our testimonials on our new website by clicking here to see how easy it can be. So imagine being 25kg lighter and the fittest you’ve been for decades this time next year. You won’t have to starve yourself, you won’t have spend your life exercising and you will never get bored or run out of motivation, we won’t let you!

The solution:

So take a look at how to overcome the problems you’ve had in the past. There’s always a way. If you can’t find the time or motivation for a Gym three times a week, that’s why you need us. Our Personal Trainers will pack a weeks worth of exercise and results into 30 or 60 minutes. You will never get bored or lose motivation as your Personal Trainer will create the perfect workout for you each and every time. If you can’t stomach the latest fad diet that bans you from your favorite foods, find a mix and match of healthy low fat balanced meals you do enjoy. We’ll give you a free food and exercise diary and nutritional advice if you decide to start Personal Training. You’ll still drop the weight and you’ll get to eat like a normal human being. If you always seem to give up on walking on your own, make yourself accountable. Find a friend who is more motivated than you (a less motivated one may drag you down) and try and walk somewhere enjoyable and motivating, like the beach.

This is just one basic example. There are millions of easy ways to overcome the problems you’ve had in the past. There’s no one simple, generic answer because everyone is an individual. You just need some help to find the solutions that are right for you.

The balanced program we will help you to create and to fit into your lifestyle won’t make you drop a kilo a day because no healthy and sustainable program will. However, it WILL work, and the weight WILL stay off.
