Training & fitness

It is important that we train correctly in the gym to get the best results. Bad form can cause injury and contribute to slow development in the gym. Make sure that you are lifting correctly and if you are unsure book an appointment with a personal trainer. It’s worth its weight in gold. Here is a list of general mistakes made when training.

• Breathing incorrectly
• Lack of control through range of motion
• Using a weight that is too heavy
• Incorrect posture
• Overtraining

There are many reasons so do your homework. It will pay off in the long run, contributing to a better you and in a much quicker way than you would’ve thought possible.

Correct diet

A good diet is the most fundamental part of any training regime. Eating correctly can influence your training progress immensely. A very high percentage of your success in the gym is governed by the food you eat and the timing of food intake. Watch your calories closely and you will lose weight if you are burning off more calories than you consume. A recovery drink, a good meal replacement (SIM-PLEX)or pre workout formula (TWISTER) is ideal for fuelling your body correctly for an intense workout.

Minimise your meal size

Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day for the best results. High protein diets are great for losing weight and increasing muscle size and definition. It will also contribute to a faster metabolism, again improving your chances of burning unwanted fat. Eating small meals more regularly will decrease your chances of binge eating as you will have less time between meals to feel hungry. A good weight management product (THERM X) can help lose those unwanted pounds. Why not get the beach body of your dreams? See our weight management section of products.

Supplement your diet

It’s easy to say, eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, however, this is not always possible with most people’s hectic life styles. Why not substitute your daily food intake with a well balanced meal replacement shake (SIM-PLEX). If time is an issue take a (SIM-PLEX) sachet to work or a meeting, add water in your shaker and you have a complete meal in seconds. You can also substitute a meal with a high protein shake (PREMIUM WHEY) or weight gain formula (MASS GAINER) depending on your training goals.

Drink lots of water

Water intake is vital to a healthy lifestyle. Drink 6 to 8 glasses a day, or more if you’re a professional athlete. Correct hydration is good for cleansing the body of toxins and promoting good digestion.
