You may have tried every diet without any success or unknowingly be exercising the wrong way.

The help of a personal trainer gives you the opportunity to experience how a diet should make you look and feel. Proper exercise will help you get slimmer, fitter, faster, stronger and healthier. If your exercise isn’t don’t waste another minute and deprive yourself of the results you want so badly.

It doesn’t matter what your starting point is – a personal training package will give you the boost you need and includes the eating guidelines required to maximise your workouts!

Posted on October 19, 2012 by Barnsley Personal Trainer

Exercise that increases lean muscle tissue is good news for both men and women; more muscle means a faster metabolism and a lower body fat percentage. You can get very strong and lean without looking like a bodybuilder.

Heavier weights and fewer reps may be your best route to improving your muscle tone.

How To Get The Most Out Of Personal Training

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Barnsley Personal Trainer

You will achieve your goals faster and get much more from the experience if you know what you want to accomplish.

Commitment
Personal training only works when commitments are kept. Remember, they’re commitments to yourself more than your personal trainer.

Be Willing to Push Yourself
You’ve probably heard the saying “insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

That’s why your personal trainer will ask you to do things differently. You’ll be asked to change your diet, your lifestyle and even your thinking as you begin working toward your new goal.

It won’t all be easy, but it’ll be much easier than doing it all by yourself without the guidance of a personal trainer.

Pushed For Time?

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Barnsley Personal Trainer

time for the gym
A common problem people have from time to time is they have to skip workouts because they are rushed for time.

A simple solution is to reduce rest time between sets and exercises. This will increase the difficulty of the workout and breath new life into what could already be a stale workout.

The next time you are thinking about missing a workout due to a lack of time just think about ways you could make the workout shorter whilst improving fitness levels.

How Exercise Influences Hunger and Weight Loss

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Barnsley Personal Trainer

Recent research shows that 45 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise in the morning may reduce food cravings, both immediately afterward and throughout the day.

Exercising first thing in the morning, especially if done on an empty stomach, has been shown to have a number of health benefits, including preventing weight gain and insulin resistance.

Your choice of breakfast food may play a significant role in decreasing or heightening sensations of hunger afterward. Carbohydrate-rich breakfast foods can significantly increase hunger – especially if you are lean, with healthy insulin sensitivity.

Previous research has revealed that exercise may also help control your body weight by altering hormones released by your gut after a meal.

When exercising in a fasted state, it’s critical to eat a recovery meal within 30 minutes post-workout. This meal should NOT be skipped in the name of fasting. Fast-assimilating protein, such as whey, is ideal for brain and muscle recovery.

The Only Way To Eat Healthy At Work

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Barnsley Personal Trainer

healthy eating
Planning is the key, learn to become organised and manage time as efficiently as possible. Eating healthy is the only way to achieve your goals.

Make the right decisions and prepare your own meals 

If you are serious about slimming and fat loss then taking your own food to work will help you control what you eat. Preparing your food for work at the beginning of the day or the night before will give you total control of what you eat. For many of us this is the only opportunity we get to eat a healthy meal during working hours.

An example of a healthy meal that can be prepared in minutes is a bowl containing a mixed salad with cold cuts of meat or fish. The salad could contain, raw spinach, pepper, green beans, asparagus, sugar snap peas, tomatoes or spring onions to name just a few. Add a little dressing in the tune of seed oil or vinegar and hey presto you have a very healthy lunch.
