In a modern day society where the pressure to perform, whether it be at work, home, clubs, committees, or community commitments, takes a huge toll on our available time and energy, more people are neglecting to move enough to sustain optimal health and we are seeing an epidemic rise in the number of people succumbing to modern day degenerative illnesses.

We all know we feel better when we move more, and with the current push to get more people active thru programs such as “Push Play”, most of us know that we should be exercising regularly. For those of you who already make regular exercise a priority in your already busy lives- well done, stick with it and don’t let the pressures you often feel get in the way. For those of you who are just having trouble getting started, there are so many reasons why you should! A well balanced exercise program including some kind of cardiovascular activity, exercise to improve your strength, and stretching or yoga has huge benefits, least of which are making you FEEL better mentally and physically, and a nicer person to be around!

 

Cardiovascular exercise

• Strengthens the heart and lungs, and helps reduce the risk of developing heart disease thru lowering blood triglycerides and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol
• Improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (helping to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes)
• Reduces the risk of developing some cancers
• Lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure
• Increases energy expenditure, helping to reduce bodyfat and prevent weight gain
• It is also known to improve mood and relieve tension, therefore reducing depression and anxiety.

 

Resistance training

• Improves psychological wellbeing thru improved inner strength, personal belief, and body image
• Improved bone mineral density-the only proven method
• Reduce bodyfat and increase lean muscle mass therefore improving muscle tone and firmness
• Increases energy expenditure helping improve weight control
• Improves strength and endurance
• Improved glucose metabolism, reducing risk of type 2 diabetes
• Better posture
• Reduces low back pain
• Improves cardio respiratory health thru reduced blood pressure and improved cholesterol profile
• Increases independence in women and seniors-in particular with heavy chores around the home
• For women- strengthens the pelvic floor muscles-only 4% of women who lift weights suffer incontinence vs. 38% of runners
• Improves sport/athletic performance

 

 

Stretching and yoga

• Help to maintain flexibility as it lengthens muscles shortened during exercise or long periods of inactivity
• Lengthens the range of movement of a muscle and around a joint which can improve performance
• Balances the body helping to prevent or correct postural imbalances which can lead to injury
• Improve body awareness
• Improves mood through calming and relaxing effects therefore d ecreasing anxiety and depression
• Improves the flow of Chi, or energy, thru the body.
• Can improve digestive function, fluid elimination, circulation, and help normalise metabolism thru massaging internal organs and stimulating the hormonal system

 

 

So, as you can see you have a lot to gain, and only fat and stress to lose!

When do I start?

Information Seminar and Registration: 4th March 2007 (time and place TBC)

OFFICIAL CHALLENGE START: 12th March 2007

We will be running information seminars to educate and help you to understand the concept of the 12-week challenge. Anyone interested may attend; you do not have to be a member of Pro-Fitness or registered for the challenge. We do ask you that you register with Reception at Pro-Fitness Northwood (ph 03 3662221 #1) so that we have enough seats.

How do I start?

We start with a goal setting and planning seminar to help you get started, and then monitor and motivate you through your journey with controlled measurements, mentoring, and teaching you how to reach your maximum results from the effort you put in.

You can transform your body and make permanent lifestyle changes through our planned 12-week challenge program. With prescribed exercise, optimal nutrition, and motivational assistance from your Results Based Trainer and education through a series of seminars.

How can it help me?

Simply, it works at helping you throw away old habits and set you on a new path. Completing the 12 week challenge will give you a new understanding of how to create a more balanced life with more energy to continue to set new and exciting challenges for yourself.

By taking control of your health and fitness, you are able to successfully undertake other challenges in your life- family, work, study, relationships, and life in general.

I've been on lots of diets and weight loss programs that don't work, what's the difference?

Diets don't work. This is not about deprivation, it's all about moderation and choice. Successful weight management is a lifestyle choice, not a quick fix. You take control of your weight and maintain positive lifestyle changes with the right knowledge, the right nutrition and the right exercise choices.

You will be given the tools, information, and guidance every step of the way. You will be encouraged and motivated to make the right choices that will finally see you achieving your dreams...

I have learnt for me;
* Weight loss is not about kilos, its about centimeters
* All food is ok to eat…. in moderation
* Daily exercise does not have to be like taking a journey to hell and back each day

In January of this year I joined Pro-Fitness and was assigned a personal trainer, James Thomas. In March I joined the ‘Onelifefitness’s’ 12 week challenge led by Leanne Roulston.

I won’t bore you with the reasons that I have become overweight, the fact is, although I believe my reason is valid somewhere in that reason I have made an excuse to become what I was earlier this year. Prolonged bad food choices and lack of exercise does not innocently happen.

During the 12 week challenge I lost 71.5 centimeters and 6.2 kilos. The amount of kilos I lost pales into comparison when I look at the centimeters hence I am now driven by centimeters rather than kilograms.
This of course would not have been anywhere near possible had it not have been for James and Leanne.  James and Leanne both presented me with different solutions, ideas, support and encouragement to reach my goal of losing centimeters.

Leanne and her team presented so much outstanding information on nutrition, goal setting, training and long term better health options, as well as providing an extremely motivating, friendly and accessible environment in which to discuss ideas, problem solve and have a laugh.
The extra group activities, circuit class, Bridle Path walk, Burwood Forest outing and the trip to Roxx proved that exercising can be fun and not all grind.

James, what can I say, this guy has an incredible ability to relate to people, he gets the very best from me, he pushes me when I think I could not go on, he has helped me achieve targets I did not think possible. 
I always wondered what sort of person has a personal trainer and why if someone wants to exercise they need someone to ‘hold their hand’. I now realise that having James train with me, I am more accountable for reaching my goals, that I do need to be pushed and made to go that bit further, that without a James I would be soft on myself and make excuses for my lack of effort.

If anyone reading this is remotely thinking of stopping making excuses and start losing some centimeters then Pro-Fitness and Onelifefitness have a team that can get you looking the way you want. My before and after photos speak for themselves, go on challenge yourself, I guarantee along with losing some centimeters you will meet some fantastic people in the process. I’ve only told you about two of them.

 

We invite you to join us on a journey of self-discovery, achievement and transformation. It could be just the motivation you need to kick start your winter exercise program so you feel good all year round, and look great when its time to shed your layers in spring! Whether you are an experienced exerciser, or a novice, now is the time to achieve some of those goals you have been dreaming about. These benefits are all yours for the taking, so go on-give it a go!
