So this week I have a guest post who will give you the ‘TOP 5’ today . James Daley is a Personal Trainer and a Cage Fighter who kindly offered to guest post this week.
I thought I would give some really good general tips that are simple and
easy to follow:
1. Keep your gym sessions intense, this means interval cardio work.
Try one minute intense and one minute at a slower pace either with running
or a safer option, using a bike.
You can either follow this with compound resistance exercises or the long moderated intensity version:
Compound resistance exercises consist of squats, overhead
dumbell presses and the lat pulldown machine. Have minimal rest period
between sets or you can circuit the exercises back to back.
The long moderate intensity version with no weighted exercises, which seem
to be a ladies favourite, will take up to 250 minutes plus of an, I’m already
guessing, busy week. This alternative given would be 25 minutes in 3
separate sessions per week if the goal is weight loss.
2.Avoid ‘low fat’ goods, they usually have added salt or sugar to make up for the lack of taste.
3. Avoid a low fat diet, fat can help stop sugar cravings and keep you
fuller for longer
4. Eat as many green leafy vegetables as possible as they are stacked with vitamins and minerals.
5. Do not be afraid to engage yourself in strength training, strength training is for everyone.
Check out the video I posted of my 64 year old mum dead lifting 87kg after losing over 2 stone of body weight.
