If you’re looking to get rid of some excess weight then you might want to consider factoring in regular strength training to your weekly work-out schedule.  It is a very effective method for weight loss but, not on its own.  Strength training is a great way to push your body to work really hard, particularly when you use heavy weights.  It builds muscle, increases overall strength and helps to tone you up but do remember that it doesn’t burn calories in the same way as cardio activity (for example, an aerobic activity such as step, swimming, running, cycling or power-walking).

Based on some of the things you hear online and in the news, you might not believe this, but carbohydrates are good for you as long as you choose the “right” carbohydrates and understand how to consume them as part of a healthy diet.  They are essential to your good health and wellbeing and they give you slow-release energy which, properly used, will stop you reaching for a sugary snack when you hit an energy slump.  Unfortunately, we have all been conditioned to think that carbohydrates are bad news for weight loss or maintaining a healthy weight.  That’s mainly down to the food indu ..read more

Squats and deadlifts are two of the best types of exercises you can perform, certainly for increasing strength and building lean, taut muscle.  Most fitness routines will feature compound exercises such as deadlifts and squats.  Both of these work a variety of different muscles. Not only do they both increase strength in the quads, glutes and hamstring, they also encourage a stable core which results in better balance and works the whole body.  The muscles that you use during squats and deadlifts include the rectus and transverse abdominis, the external and internal obliques and the s ..read more

Sometimes, no matter how hard you train, that excess fat just refuses to shift – sound familiar?  Luckily, there is scientific evidence that proves that by simply tracking what you eat carefully, you can spot patterns in what you eat.  By spotting patterns, you can eliminate the foods that are the fat-storing culprits and even shift some of that extra weight. It’s a far easier process than carefully weighing out every meal, counting up the calories and logging the amount of protein, carbohydrates and fat you consume.  That in itself is immensely time-consuming and usually removes all ..read more

5y ago
Since the golden era of modern bodybuilding in the 60s and early 70s isolation resistance training (training more specific body parts) has increasingly become the dominant methodology in strict form resistance training.  Arguably the emergence and popularity of Crossfit and obstacle course races like Tough Mudder and Spartan Race have bucked this trend to some degree in most recent years.  However, most training plans commonly available are focused around training certain related body parts on different days. Much of the reasoning for the growth of isolation training came from the dev ..read more

Perhaps a long life isn’t just down to genetics, nor is it down to just what you eat or whether you lead a healthy lifestyle.  The secret to living longer could actually be down to lifting weights regularly (and that doesn’t mean they have to be the heaviest weights), but it doesn’t have to be massive weights.   According to a medical study carried out at the Penn State College of Medicine in the USA, if you want to live longer, then it is simply down to sessions of strength training on a regular basis.  The study’s findings tell us that weight lifting or resistance training reduces r ..read more
