1. Carbohydrates aren't the enemy

Do we need to reduce carbohydrates (carbs) under most circumstances in the fat loss phase? Yes. Do we need to cut them out completely? No. Cutting out a complete macronutrient (fat, carbs, protein) from your diet does not help to achieve your goals. In fact, every macronutrient is an essential part of a healthy diet. Carbs in particular give your cells, tissues and organs energy. It keeps everything going. You see, banning them from your plate will leave you tired, with no energy. When it comes to carbs my biggest advice is to choose quality over quantity. Not all carbs are created equal, the quality is important. For example a piece of white bread does not have the same beneficial impact as a bowl of brown rice. The goal is to avoid quickly digested and refined carbs as much as possible. These foods include products made of refined grains such as bread, pasta, cereals, cakes. Instead, go for slowly digested carbs that keep your blood sugar stable.

Stable blood sugar levels means focused energy throughout the day, you will feel energized.

"Not only is the quality of the carb important but also the timing of when you eat it. "

We all have different body types and different body composition. What works for you, doesn't necessarily work for someone else. However, you never go wrong if you stick to the rules "carbs are earned after exercise". Your body requires good quality carbs and protein after exercising to help repair muscle tissues and help to build lean muscles.

2. Weight training does not make you bulky

I remember when I thought lifting weights would make me "bulky". I thought I would end up looking like a female body builder the more weight I lifted. Let me assure you that weight training does not make you bulky. Really, it doesn't. You need to train A LOT, and eat A LOT, to look like a bodybuilder. There is a reason why it's a professional sport. If you train with weights 2-3 times a week, do cardio, stretches and eat lean, your body will look defined and toned but certainly not bulky.

Also, I was never sure whether to give my muscles a rest in between sets or incorporate loads of intensity techniques such as jumping jacks, circuit training as an attempt to burn more fat. Here is the thing, if we techniques to increase intensity as described above, that simply means we can no longer use a heavy enough load help increase and tone your muscle mass. Strenght training should be hard and heavy, with the appropriate rest intervals. Speaking of rest;

"you won't achieve better results if you train every day"

In fact, too much training interferes with gaining muscle. Your body doesn't change in the gym, it largely occurs outside.

3. Crunches won't give you a sixpack

Crunches are certainly not the best exercise choice if you are trying to work on your abs because they strengthen only a few of the muscles in your core. You're better off doing some moves that work the entire core area such as varieties of planks, bicycle legs, ab wheels and more. Your abdominal muscles will only show if your body fat percentage is low enough. Doing core exercises but still sticking to an unhealthy, high-calorie diet will not give you a defined mid-section.

4. Flexibility and stretching

Sitting the whole day at the office in front of a computer didn't do anything for my flexibility or fitness. Sooner or later my lower back started to kill me and touching the floor with my fingers used to be a real struggle. Not the best place to be when you are in your mid-twenties. I never really took stretching seriously or thought of yoga as an addition to my workout routine. In fact, I thought it was a waste of my time. Well, the worse my back pain got the more open I became to the idea of giving my body a good stretch. The result speaks for itself; I not only got rid of my back pain but also gained a new range of movements and my form at the gym to lift weights to much better. I only can recommend stretching to everyone as part of the injury prevention portfolio. Do it regularly and you soon will feel a change in your body and well being.

5. Professional coaching

My first experience in the gym was intimidating. I had no idea what to do and how to use the equipment. Instead of getting professional advice (because I was a student and broke) I just tried to copy the people that looked like they were gym experienced. As a result, my form was sloppy, got injured, and my progress, if any, was very poor. Steve and I work out a lot together and his cues on how to adjust my  posture when performing an exercise, how to isolate and engage the target muscle made my workouts much more efficient. Time-wise as well as goal oriented. Time is precious; don't waste it in the gym with poorly performed exercises that might result in an injury over time.

When training people physically, you could argue that they can be broken down into two distinct groups; people that like to stay in their comfort zone, and people that like to be uncomfortable.

Physical adaptation occurs when your body is challenged in new ways. When it experiences stimuli it has never encountered before. It grows and changes, gets stronger and faster and enhances it’s ability to be resilient, only when it is forced into situations where it becomes uncomfortable.

Every system in your body, no matter how micro, or macro that system may be, works in a continuum of performance and recovery.
All of your systems, including you as an entire being, require a refractory period, where it can recover from the stimulus that has been applied to it. This is a fundamental principle of human physiology (change) and performance alike.

Training your ability to recover, in the same way as you train your ability to perform will result in a large increased overall training performance, and will allow your body to make the changes that you train for. You have to assume that if you aren’t able to fully switch yourself off, then inherently you will lack the ability to fully switch yourself on. You will exist somewhere in the purgatory between your performance ceiling and floor, never quite being able to reach either.

Whilst there are many strategies you can employ to improve your ability to recover from exercise, ranging from smaller interventions to help you recover from, for example an interval run, before you commence your next run 30 seconds later, to recovery from long weeks of training and workload.

Here are some examples:

1. Learning how to diaphragm breathe properly and use it to aid in affecting the parasympathetic nervous system (think the de-stress part of your nervous system).
2. Learning 3 stage breathing (breathe ups) to once again affect the parasympathetic nervous system.
3. Get more sleep.
4. Eat a better diet.
5. Improve the quality of your soft tissues (trigger point and foam rolling work)
6. Stretch.
7. Visualization of the next performance you are about to embark upon.
8. Meditation.

To gain precise control of a system that functions linearly, only two points of control are required; a braking system, and an accelerating system. Your nervous system essentially features this in the form of sympathetic innervation (think high performance requirements, but also situations of constant stress and failure to relax and recover) and as mentioned, para-sympathetic innervation (the opposite of sympathetic). Like anything, your ability to gain a measure of control over these systems is trainable.

In the life you lead when you aren’t looking to improve your performance physically, the ability to engage your para-sympathetic system is critical. Anyone experiencing constant self described high stress environments, poor sleep, fogginess of thinking or constant sub-par performance socially and professionally, will find that utilizing techniques to improve recovery and mindfulness (presence) will begin to improve the afflictions listed above.

Having an addiction to past evaluations as opposed to a present one, is a cognitive bias which severely affects your ability to continue to grow and outperform your prior self. Changing your mindset around what performance is fundamentally, and approaching it from a new angle, could well prove to be the silver bullet cure you are looking for. By simply taking a few deep breathes into your belly (diaphragm breathing) and returning to the present moment and choice, you will begin to experience the impact the para-sympathetic nervous system can have on your social, professional and training goals.

Try the following;
Hold your palms in front of you, fingers facing up, a few centimeters apart, shoulders relaxed. Now breathe in, while gently expanding your fingers putting your mind on all your fingers. Your breath and mind should softly shoot to the end of your fingers. This inhalation is slow and purposeful, gently pulling oxygen into the bottom of your belly, about 5 centimeters below your navel, then moving that energy from here to your fingers. Once complete, gently exhale and release your fingers. Let your mind fall asleep. Relax your hip joints and let everything relax into soft, quiet awareness. Once exhalation is complete, re-energize and begin again. Do this for a minute, and see how you feel.

Why wear compression garments?

Strenuous physical activity can induce muscle damage, which may lead to decreased range of motion, swelling and impaired muscle function, all increasing the likelihood of injury.

• Compression clothes can help reduce physical impact and damage associated with strenuous physical activity

• Compression wear promotes blood lactate removal which enhances recovery and helps injury management

• Compression sportswear improves the efficiency of the muscle and joint pumps

• Compression gear assists blood flow back to the heart and makes you more aware of your body's movements. Compression increases proprioception, which heightens senses and awareness for enhanced sustainability, agility and improved technique

In short - your energy is harnessed to help you perform better, for longer, so that you enjoy the activity more and recover quicker.
