Questions anyone?

Just a short one to ask for some interaction from any of you out there who are reading the blog.

<>Over the next few weeks I am going to look at addressing some of the great old fitness myths and misunderstandings. Well, any sort of fitness question in general, so if you have anything you would like to see explained or have a question regarding anything to do with wellbeing, give me a shout and I will do my very best to answer it.

As always you can contact me on trainer@foresight-fitness.co.uk, or through the website www.foresight-fitness.co.uk.

When Summer Finally Gets Here

When the sun shine finally starts breaking through and we can actually see that the seasons have changed. Why not take this point as an opportunity to mix up your training a bit? Training routines can get very stale if just left the same over a prolonged period of time. A mainly gym based routine can be mixed up with some more outdoor type training, such as walking, running, athletics, or team based sports!

The sun can always make a walk/run that little bit easier and more enjoyable! So why not get out and enjoy that sun? After all we get very little of it here in the UK (and especially in Manchester) so don’t put it off, do it today!

If you would like any advice on what activities you could get involved in feel free to contact me on the usual e-mail (trainer@foresight-fitness.co.uk).

Enjoy the sun!

Fad Diets

Do they work? Well most of the time NO, and if they do they are rarely what would be considered healthy.

Fad diets that are often marketed in a range of magazines, and this really annoys me. I get a large number of clients who come to me and say they have been reading this magazine and such a Caleb is only eating celery, should they follow that diet? No, No, No.

<>I try and encourage my clients to get out of the dieting cycle, of starting a new diet which is so restrictive you are already set up to fail, failing, going on a blow out, then having to start an even more restrictive diet to make up for your failure.

<>You need to ensure you are not starting something that would be near impossible to complete. What you should be aiming for, although seen as less glamorous by the magazines, is a well balanced healthy diet (high in fruit, vegetables, fibre, and water with the right amounts of protein and carbohydrates for your lifestyle). One that is not restrictive, and although might take some effort to stick to it is not impossible. <>I am deliberately trying to stay away from offering any specific dietary advice. You are all different, each and everyone of you have different goals, needs a different plan of action to improve your nutrition. But if you would like more information please feel free to contact me on trainer@foresight-fitness.co.uk. <>

Until next time, eat sensibly.
