If I can collect a dollar for every time someone asks how to get off a weight-loss plateau, I would be driving a swanky luxury car right now.. So if this applies to you, here's a useful, tried and tested (by yours truly) tip :-  I am a sucker for experimenting on ways to overcome this bane of my existence. The PLATEAU !! And one of the best tools I find most effective is Zigzag eating ie; dropping and increasing calorie intake each day. Fluctuate your daily calorie intake. For example eat as you normally do today, and cut down the calories by half tomorrow, and load up the following day back to your normal intake. Do this for a week while still keeping to your workout routines. The idea is to keep your metabolism guessing. There's no magic number that works for everyone, so you'll have to experiment until you find the right calorie levels for you. I usually observe a full-day fast every other day and it works great for me !

This is what Fitness Expert Steve Edwards had to say about zigzag eating - "What happens when you zigzag is that you force your body to choose how many calories it needs to recover from the rigors of your exercise program. Most people who hit a plateau are undereating. If you are indeed undereating, adding calories for a few days, then lowering them again, will help you force your body into a hormonal response that will not only help you break out of a plateau, but—as you learn to recognize the signals—will teach you how much food you should be eating." 

Well, there's one way to go... There are more tips coming up on this subject so stay with us... Good luck, guys !!!

UNLEASHED 2012 #Fitness Revolution... February 25 & 26, 2012 in KUALA LUMPUR, #Malaysia

 

Its not enough to know that you need to incorporate movement in your lives. You need to know WHY too... And once you do, you will automatically want to know HOW ! Throughout the years, the science of exercise and fitness has evolved so much and so fast that what we swore by when we were younger are most likely deemed obsolete and even dangerous now. The human body, like everything else, has evolved too. Our lifestyles and habits are constantly changing with the times, altering our immune system, compromising our strength and resistance. We are not as durable as our forefathers were, at least not physically, The younger generation is cut out from a more sedentary cloth, customized for indoors and limited movement capacity. And that has borne forth a multitude of complications health-wise simply because the human body IS indeed specifically created for movement so the lack of it weakens the body. The good news is, more and more of us are aware of this predicament and are making efforts to make changes in our lifestyles to rectify the problem. The bad news however is that most of us did not know where to begin.

This has made it absolutely necessary for everyone, not necessarily just the fitness industry movers, to be updated on the latest findings in exercise science and updates on fitness tips on safety and effectiveness.  And that is what makes our mission statement. To educate and enhance your knowledge on exercise and fitness in general  the best way we know how; fitness symposiums and seminars, workshops, masterclasses and for the professionals, certification courses.

Running your own fitness business requires you to be an expert in a lot of different areas and sometimes that can be an incredibly challenging position to be in.

All of that ‘stuff’ is important.  Even crucial.  But if you want to be successful, you need a foundation. This is what this workshop will give you. An edge to be not just the awesome fitness instructor or trainer that you already are, but to be the most in demand. So whether you are selling personal training or group aerobics packages, you need to first know how to sell yourself. Definitely NOT to be missed by any fitness professional in the same timezone !
