TRY SOMETHING NEW!

By Paul Peroy

Are you happy with how you look and feel? If so, congratulations, you are part of the 16% minority of people who are living their optimal life, or surrendered to the fiction that you can’t change it. If you answered no, why put up with it? Make some simple changes and find the health and happiness that is your right!

mix it up!

Speak to a Professional

If you are new to exercise speak to your Dr about starting a new training regime & what you have in mind.

If you are currently exercising at the gym and have an eating plan, have a quick chat to a health professional. Ask your group fitness instructor, personal trainer or any member of the team at your club about how to get the results you want. Book in for your free program or session with a personal trainer. Follow these few simple tasks to get the best results:

  • Set a goal: fit into those jeans, lose 5kg, run the City to Surf in under 60mis etc. (makes sure to give yourself a realistic time limit to achieve these goals)
  • Keep a diary of what you are eating & what exercises you are currently doing for a few weeks. It is important that your fitness advisor knows where you are at.
  •  Ask them for advice on what changes you can make to your routine to get the results you want.

Mix it up

You may be part of the few who motivate themselves daily and exercise alone. Try and shake it up a bit. Change your workouts ie. the type of exercise and intensity and/or duration. Watch your intake of calories, fats and sugars. Ensure not to miss out on protein and essential vitamins and minerals. Rest and recovery time is also a critical element of your training.

Whatever it is you are doing try something new. If you are one of those people on those Cardio Machines, get your butt into a Group Fitness Class NOW!!! They are the most effective way to do your cardio. The Professionals will guide & motive you to a new level of fitness. NO! You don’t have to wait to be fit enough or be coordinated as there are classes for every type of fitness level and coordination ability. All classes allow you to work at your own fitness level. Classes such as:-

SPIN requires the least amount of coordination as you are stationary and you control the amount of resistance on the bike (so you don’t need a few months on the cardio equipment to get fit enough, it’s actually a great calss for beginners as well as experienced exercises).

BOXING requires minimal coordination and is great for getting some of the built up aggression out of your system, while sweating and getting that heart fit & healthy.

BOOTCAMP is group personal training at its best. Drills and exercises designed to get your fitness levels in tip top shape. It is something that everyone can follow and achieve their fitness goals.

BODYPUMP, BODYATTACK, BODYCOMBAT and BODYSTEP require minimal coordination and after a couple of weeks you will be able to follow the class just like the best regulars in the front row. Just because you don’t get every move doesn’t mean you won’t get a work out. These programs are designed for beginners to the most advanced athlete’s.

Take comfort in knowing you are not the first person to enter a class for the first time (not even that day). Nor are you the first person to not get every move. You may feel self-consious (as we do when starting something new) but the reality is that everyone else in the class is busy trying to work hard & follow the class themselves so they aren’t looking at you.  Our team of instructors ensure you remain focused on achieving your fitness goal so within the first 5 minutes, any nervous feeling you had will pass.

PERSONAL TRAINING is an awesome way to get that one on one attention in your workout. The trainer’s sole purpose is to get to know your limits, challenge them & get you to your goals. They will mix it up for you and keep you motivated and inspired, while ensuring your safety with proper execution of each exercise.

If you’re not getting results mix it up. If you’re doing the same classes each week, try a new one. Never done a class, try one.  Not doing any weights, add some in. Missed your class or workout this morning go for a run!

If a change is as good as a holiday & we all know how great they are, what are you waiting for?? Get on the phone or web contact your gym to find out what new activity you will be trying today.
