If you could only do one form of exercise to lose weight what should you do?
Hi Everyone,
I recently asked my subscribers and clients for questions about health & fitness that they really want the answers to. I had plenty of replies and have got plenty of questions to answer. I will make my way through them all over the next couple of weeks. Here is the first one:
If you could only do one form of exercise to lose weight what should you do?
You should exercise your self restraint and stop shovelling too much food into your mouth - this will definately lead to weight loss - haha. Sorry, I'm not funny I know.
Well, this is a tough one for me as I can't honestly say that there one type in particular and if I had my way everyone would be doing a combination of resistance training & cardio-vascular (aerobic) training. Why, because one stimulates muscle activity & tones muscles which boosts metabolism for 48-72 hrs resulting in more calories burned throughout those days and the other burns fat calories whilst you do it. I hope you know which is which :-)
But , I guess I should answer the question so here it is . Absolutely anything that makes you sweat and sweat lots. Yes, you too Girls. Never break a sweat? Try a boxing class or a spinning/cycle class and you will.. Here are 2 options , an outdoor & an indoor:

Outdoors
- Running is an all time favourite weight loss activity. Why, you are carrying your weight around against the pull of gravity and this leads to a large consumption of calories thus resulting in lots of flab being burned. You can do it practically anywhere and don't need any special equipment - making it convenient and therefore less excuses for you to not do it. Start slow with a walk/jog and then progress to a jog/run and then to a run. When you can run 30 mins non-stop at good pace (this means not so slow that a powerwalking mum over takes you with her stroller) then you should add sprints or/and hills to the mixture. By the way, if you cannot walk/jog then just walk and then walk/fast walk, just try to do a little faster or longer each time and you will soon be running.
Indoors
- In my opinion you can't beat Spinning/Cycle classes. They are high energy and drive the heart rate high and then lower it again . This has been shown to burn more fat than a steady consistent pace and gets you bloody fit in the process, meaning a strong & healthy heart as well as a lean physique. If you have not done this class before you will need to start slow and follow your instructor's guidelines. As soon as you are able - push yourself hard & watch the fat melt away. By the way, I know some of you hate cycling so you should do a high energy class like Body Attack or similar, as always start slow and work at your level of fitness, if you feel faint or dizzy - immediately panic and shout at the instructor for help - NO , don't do that - i'm kidding! Don't worry, just stop straight away and lie down with your feet up against the wall at about 45 degrees if you can - this helps blood flow back to the heart. Now just concentrate on your breathing - big breaths in through the nose (fill the lungs) and slow exhale through the mouth & repeat - you'll be fine in no time at all.
Ok, so that's about it for this question. I could go on and on but I'll leave it here. You'll notice I haven't mentioned resistance training/weights even though at the start I said everyone should do it. That's because weights routines will vary for different people and you should not just go to the gym and do whatever. Yes, we all need weights but we need structured routines and proper guidance. See a good Personal Trainer to have a proper program designed for you.
Bye for now, your fitness friend,

Dangerous Exercise To Avoid In The Gym!
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post to warn you of a very dangerous exercise that is being performed in gyms. You MUST NOT do this exercise ever! Check it out below:
Just a quick post to warn you of a very dangerous exercise that is being performed in gyms. You MUST NOT do this exercise ever! Check it out below:
HAHAHA, sorry - I couldn't resist , who doesn't need a good laugh every day.
Laughter is medicine - remember that! And, you get a mini ab workout too :-)
Ok, seriously though . This demonstrates the importance of safety in the gym and being careful about what you do and how you do it. This dill was not seriously hurt but he could have caused a painful injury which would have prevented him from continuing with his exercise program. These stupid machines are unnecessary and a waste of time. GOD gave you all the tools you need and a pretty good musculo-skeletal system to work them so don't go looking for the next amazing machine to use.
So, before starting a new exercise program make sure you get a proper fitness assessment and then make sure you are shown a safe and functional program that starts with the basics and then progress at a steady pace. If you are not sure if you are doing the right things in the right way then I suggest you invest a few bucks in a Personal Trainer and get it right from the start. Not only will you get better results but you'll prevent injuring yourself and injuries are a major cause of why people quit their exercise programs.
So, train safe, progress steadily, don't overdo it! Consistency first - intensity later :-)

Mr. Inta-Fitness Talks Multivitamins , Do You Really Need Them?
Hi Everybody,
I'm always asking my customers & clients if they take a multi-vitamin and more often than not the response I get is 'NO'. Hmm, I think , so then I say 'ok, so you must be eating at least 5-7 serves of organic fruits & vegetables/salads everyday along with good quality wholegrains/lean proteins/raw nuts and wholesome carbohydrates which have hardly undergone any processing (think brown rice, lentils, sweet potatoes etc) - right? Well, I bet not but thats what it would take to ensure you are getting the right balance of vitamins & minerals on a daily basis!
So, in my opinion , everyman & everywoman should be taking a good multivitamin/mineral suppplement on a daily basis. Men should take a man's formula and women should take a women's formula as we have different micronutrient requirements. Why should you bother when you go to the toilet and pee it all out - right? Wrong! Think of it as nutritional insurance, providing your body with a back up system for times when you aren't eating the perfect balance of healthy nutritional foods everyday, which we are all guilty of :-( You will only pee out what you don't need and I gaurantee you that you will notice a difference in the way you feel - especially if you excercise regulary because regular exercise will deplete your personal stores of vitamins and minerals and if you don't put them back then you will feel flat or lethargic and even get sick easier as your immune system struggles to function optimally. I have many clients whom have added a decent multi to their routine and were amazed at the difference in how they feel and perform - much better that is!
What if I already eat a very healthy balanced diet full of fruits , vege's , good quality unprocessed carbs, salads, lean proteins , raw nuts etc? Well, that's great and keep up the good work but the truth of the matter is that even the best diet these days is probably lacking in key nutrients due to the fact that the food is being harvested from lands that have been leached of their nutrient content through decades of farming. Not to mention the chemical sprays that the foods have been drowned in! So, I am one of these people who eats this way and I still take a mult-ivitamin for piece of mind....
So, get a decent multi-vitamin into you daily and you'll be sure to be giving your body a boost in the battle against the evils of poor breakfasts, lunch's, dinners, pollution, alcohol, stress, lack of sleep & exercise and not enough fruits & vegetables. Oh, by the way I would prefer you ate the healthy balanced diet and took the vitamins for insurance - is that wishful thinking?
When I say a good multi-vitamin , I mean one that has sufficient levels of ingredients and comes from a trusted manufacturer. My personal favourites are the 'Swiss' brand and the one I use personally is Opti-Men for the guys or Opti-Women for the girls which we stock in our store. Other than that the general rule of thumb is don't buy from the supermarket - go to the health food store, they are better qaulity with more active ingredients and more mg's per serve.
Have a great week & eat a little less & move a little more :-)
