Nutrition, Training & Weight Loss

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Management of carbohydrates is key along with an interval training program that is manageable for 4 days per week.

Clients should expect to see weight loss of between 7 and 14 pounds in the first 4 weeks

Posture and Exercise

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Correct posture and alignment are essential ingredients for speedy, effective training results.

At Fit4all, an induction session is carried out to make a full assessment on a client - it is important to understand what makes an individual function before ever getting into a strict training programme. Areas that we look at are as follows:

Resting Heart Rate

Target Heart Rate

Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure

Hydration levels

% Body Fat

Current eating habits

Strength assessment

Complete posture assessment - looking for hip hike, forward lean, flat feet, etc.

If a muscle is incorrectly balanced, it will not fire correctly and could also result in a client working in an incorrect plane of motion which will cause pain or injury down the line. Incorrect muscle alignment will also result in a lower metabolism that could ultimately effect the rate at which an individual loses weight!

The key is to eliminate all imbalances in order to achieve your goals effectively.
