Dieting not working? Hit a plateau?

Well.. there are a few reasons this could be! Firstly – for the purposes of this blog I am going to focus on fat loss as the main goal. (if you are after muscle gain – this is all still relevant!) To start let’s simplify some nutritional information for you (now remember – I am not a nutritionist or dietician, but what I am is a good researcher and know well documented case study findings when I see them) How the energy you consume each day is utilised by your body (TDEE): No

Too unfit to go to the gym?

Feeling “too unfit” to go to the gym? A bit like having to clean the house up a bit before the cleaner comes?? Well I want to tell you a little story about before I started not just exercising, but training (and I say training because we are training toward something, toward our own goals). It was around 8-10 years ago and all I knew was that I wanted to get into shape and have a body I was proud of; I hit up local PT Joel Bushy and booked my very first (and only -sorry Joel)

A Day in the life of a Strength coach

Why lifting weights will NOT make you bulky

Our bodies are very efficient machines only wanting to keep what they use. So the old saying; “use it or lose it” is very true. As we age, if we become inactive our bones will start to breakdown unless we use

5 Simple steps to make the most of your strength training

1. Have patience Strength training is one of the greatest ways to boost your confidence, build healthy muscles and bones and lose some excess fat (as well as other benefits like preventing diabetes, osteoporosis, cardio vascular disease, etc etc), But it won’t happen overnight.
