Personal Training Testimonial (Brisbane)

Always nice to see these types of feedback from our clients.

——————————-

This morning I had my first training session with Brendon – I made it! Haha

No doubt I was stuffed afterwards and had a couple moments when I needed to stop but Brendon was excellent with support and knew how to get just one more outta me!

This is exactly what I needed. I am feeling parts of my body that I haven’t felt in a long time and I am really tired. Somehow I think I will sleep well tonight.

Thank you Anna for your support and I am keen to see what you put together nutrition wise. Brendan said that if I had any ideas that I should send them to you. I know my food diary wasn’t that great. I do have my good moments like lunch at work I get those steamfresh vegie bowls (they are new) and I put a can of tuna with it….  I do struggle with breakfast – need help there.

Thank you again – I know this is the beginning a wonderful relationship with both you and Brendan – even if it’s a little painful for me!

Today was above my expectations!

Regards, 
Fiona

Caveman Training Poll

Fast Twitch vs Slow Twitch

Fast Twitch muscle fibres have lots of nerves going to them, can generate lots of force and are able to get alot bigger. Explosive movements such as plyometric training, short bursts sprints all require fast twitch muscle fibres.

Slow Twitch muscle fibres have small amount of nerves going to them, they don’t increase in size that much, and aren’t very strong, however great for Endurance training, such as marathon runners, cyclists and any type of training that requires you to go the long distance.

Why your muscles get stronger when exercising?

The nerves that cause them to contract develop a better motor pattern and recruit more muscle fibres in the right order. That means that they can generate more force. Also their actual structure alters, so that when they contract they can move more force.

How Muscles Work

A muscle is made up of fibres that sit over the top of each other. Little hooks attach these fibres to each other. When a muscle contracts, the fibres pull in the hooks and the whole muscle shortens, which generates the force you need to lift or pull weight. Muscle fibres are divided into two types fast twitch and slow twitch.

Diet

80% of your diet comes down to you getting results with your weightloss. No matter how hard you train or how long you train for if your nutrition is not right you will stay where you are right now, STUCK! with the endless battle of the bulge! We need to eat 5-6 small meals per day to keep your metabolism alive. Portion control plays a big part in your body digesting your food properly. The best way to get started is to keep a food diary of everything you eat and drink throughout the day, this way you can start to recognise small patterns and fine tune them. If you still struggle with food get professional help from a personal trainer or nutritionist. www.executiveresults.com.au or email anna@exexcutiveresults.com.au for more info relating to this article.

Stress can make you Fat!

Fat in the abdominal area functions differently than fat elsewhere in the body as it contains a greater blood supply as well as more cellular receptors for cortisol (a stress hormone). Our cortisol levels rise and fall throughout the day, but when you are under chronic stress it stays elevated,  Cortisol isn’t metabolized well. With alot of stress and high levels of cortisol more fat is dumped in the abdominal area. Fat cells in this region are very sensitive to cortisol, and they tend to grow in size when they hook up with this hormone.
