It's not all about exercise!

Loosing weight, becoming leaner, stronger and healthier is not ALL about exercise!

In order to achieve the above we must multitask!

Its finding the right combination of exercise, time, budget and FOOD!

Too often I hear women loosing the motivation to proceed with their new fitness regime as they are not seeing the results they'd hoped for. Trainers can not do it all for you, we put in the time to tailor your programme to fit with your needs, goals, time and budget. Only you control what you consume!

If you lack motivation at times, say! Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Next time you hear your favourite biscuit or cake calling to you from the supermarket shelves, ask yourself 'will eating this help or hinder my progress?'.

If you go ahead and eat the cake regardless, own it! Try again tomorrow but remember its your choice, what is it you really want????

Stress and Weight Gain

The hormonal influence on weight gain.

Stress can have more powerful effects on the human body than is often thought, producing changes in the function of the endocrine system and therefore on the hormones the body produces. Hormonally speaking, there are a number of reasons why stress can cause weight gain. When we are stressed, the body releases adrenalin, in addition to corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) and cortisol. This potent mix gives us an instant energy boost and may in fact decrease appetite at first; however, this effect is short lived. This system is a classic fight or flight response, however, in the past when we made have needed to physically fight or run from the cause of the stress, now we often do not expend this energy.

Cortisol is a longer lasting hormone than the other two and is thought to remain at elevated levels long after the cause of the stress has passed with the role of stimulating hunger so that energy consumed during the fight or flight can be replenished. This increase of appetite can lead to an increased intake of food, simply due to hunger, although we have not burnt the extra calories our body thinks we have. High levels of cortisol also tend to result in accumulation of fat around the abdominal area, which is thought to be the most dangerous in terms of increasing risk of heart disease and diabetes
