sit ups don't give you a six pack | Durham PT

Durham Personal Trainer | Glenn Hill | 07983570574

I have discussions about this very subject on a daily basis, one of my gym members (no names) recently was telling me i was wrong and that we need an Abs class because these classes and sit ups give you a flat tummy or six pack.  If i had a pound for each time i have heard this i would'nt be living in Chester le Street in a 3 bedroom rented house.

Nearly everyone  wants to get rid of the fat in a specific area of his or her
body. When clients tell me they want weight loss, in their minds they are really referring to that specific layer on the hips, thighs, belly or arms. This common feeling shared by people of all shapes and sizes has birthed an almost universal belief that fat can be removed from a problem area by exercising that specific area, for example abdominal work for a six pack....Nooo.  Celebs still claim their flat stomachs come from hundreds of crunches, then they bring out an exercise video - the truth in that scenario is more often than not is they have paid for a Personal Trainer and have been getting beasted and nutritionally guided for months.

Unfortunately, the promise that you can lose fat on a specific “problem area”
by exercising that area is a myth. Also known as “spot training” or “spot reducing”, this myth continues to thrive despite the massive research, which disproves its claim. When we exercise certain areas of our body, such as doing crunches, we will strengthen our abs, but it will not remove fat from our belly. 
Muscle and fat are made from different material and thus one cannot be turned into the other. Fat is stored on our bodies in a certain order that is determined by gender, genetics and blood flow. When you gain weight, it usually goes to your “problem area”, and when you lose weight, your “problem area” is usually the last area to lose the fat. Consequently, “spot reducing” just leads to newly developed muscles hidden under a layer of fat that just
won’t go away.  However more muscles are always good as more muscle means more calories used at rest (metabolism).

The truth of the matter is the  only way to lose fat in a specific area is to lose weight in general. In order to lose weight in general we must increase our exercise and in particular our lean muscle percentage which in return will reduce our fat percentage (start seeing our abdominlas).  Exercise routines should incorporate the movement of large muscle groups for efficient calorie burning. As you develop and strengthen muscles, you also become leaner and increase your metabolism.  Thankfully, as the weight slowly comes off, you’ll notice the fat on your “problem areas” start to disappear as well.

So sit ups and abdominals for a flat tummy? absolutely not, you would be better off doing weighted squats for a flat tummy.( when done properly all of your leg muscles, abdominals and lower back are working together)

Set up a free consultation to learn more how to physically and mentally develop yourself.

What are the Durham PTs like?

Picture
So i am looking at helping more people out with my specialist brand of Personal Training but this time in Durham.   I have no idea how good, great or bad they are, there are probably some excellent Personal Trainers in Durham, however i am looking into helping more clients in that area.

My pond is getting smaller you see, i already have helped so many Cestrians by improving their lives and now it's time to help our friends in Durham.  My reputation in my little pond is excellent, but it's time to expand.

Hopefully by November i will have been crowned gym based Personal Trainer of the year 2014 at the National Fitness Awards, if not i am still very pleased to be in the top 7 (shortlist). 

My Personal Training involves a no stone unturned look at the mind/brain and body, i bet some of you are thinking the mind and brain are the same thing? mmm.  Today for example as an average day i was just waiting for my PT Client Coreen (who has upper body injuries so we can only train lower limbs) when a gym member came in complaining of an injured back.  Some PTs cannot help but because of my Sports Massage and BodyMap background i had removed the painful back within 5 minutes (BOOM).  One very impressed  gym member and then onto helping my client.

Coreen had been working very very hard for a couple of weeks and was stiff so we never carried out exercise today, instead we conducted a BodyMap assessment which within 15 minutes improved all of the mobility and function issues for Coreen.  Then we carried out some basic sports massage removing painful nots and then Sports Massage and PNF stretching.  Basically my intuition told me that the best thing for my client today would be a (Full Brain and Body MOT) to get everything back to good working order to ensure better results in the future.

She left her session feeling amazing and ready for our next one.

That is the difference  between what i do and what others do.

If you are in County Durham and would like to work with a Personal Trainer with an excellent reputation then get in touch.

teaching the NHS about health in South Tyneside Hospital

Personal trainer chester le street

So not sent a blog in a while, this one is about me and my grumpy assistant teaching the health professionals about health.

I have been giving out some freebies again, this time trying to help a great bunch who are a brilliant resource, the NHS.

Nursing staff and other hospital staff are renownded for being over worked and under paid, so i thought it was my duty to help them out.  I thought a free plan with some clever knowledge, some short exercise blasts and a great weight loss nutrition plan all of which can be done at home or in the work place.

My aim was to help people change a unhealthy habit for healthy ones and if they lose some weight in the process then that is great.

So the staff of South Tyneside Hospital have received my chose to lose campaign, done over three different times to ensure i can help as much staff as possible. 

  • Talk about metabolism, after burn and golden hour
  • Indroducing the plan and ourselves
  • Demo fitness session
  • Free nutrition plan
  • Free home exercise plan
  • Free weight loss recipe book
  • Free motivation for weight loss ebook
  • Free metabolism ebook
  • Free alcohol ebook

They weigh and measure themselves at the start of the challenge and at the end.  Ta Da they lose weight, feel great and learn some stuff in the package.

Habits hopefully changed for good.

Does your other half have a big one?

6/25/2014

Dont be so rude..

Does your other half have a big nose? the reason i ask is..  you see having high standards is like having a big nose and i should know i have both.

  1. Every one can see that you have a big nose or standards.
  2. Some people don't like the look of a big nose or high standards   generally because they have nil standards and are probably scrounging layabouts that always chose the easy path.
  3. A big hooter gets in the way some times, kissing etc. However high standards can be a pain too because doin things properly and to the best of your ability takes much longer than doing it half hearted.
The point i am making here is that high standards are something some people just have and i/we are making Ladies at Leisure / Personal Training /Beauty Spa and New Salon all about high standards.  This doesnt mean expensive it just means professionalism, diligence, customer care and a strong work ethic.

If you see it not happening in any of the facilities or staff just let the management team know and we will endeavour to improve things. 

Our new Hair salon is opening on the 5th of July and is called "Hair Kandi", we have a brilliant head stylist and are proud to offer a discount of 50% off the full works for our members for first cut etc and for everyone for the entire first week.

weightwatchers workout (County Durham-Chester Le Street)

Workout
in Chester Le Street/County Durham..

We are still in the planning process, however i have been visiting local weightwatchers groups and talking about the extra benefit of exercise along with what they are already doing.
You see adding the right sort of exercise to weight watchers could double or triple the weight loss/ would'nt that be great?  

The problem as i see it is that lots of the Weightwatchers members are just like my Personal Training Clients.  They are a little low in self esteem and confidence and would find joining a normal class a bit daunting and that's the idea behind WWW.

Come along and do an exercise class that is solely designed for Weightwatchers members and only frequented by these members too.  Not only can you train with your friends, you can get fit together and build a greater rapor and  team.

Th class would comprise of big compound exercises that burn a lot of fat, however all of the exercises would have an easy and hard variation to ensure maximum benefit to members.

If you would like to see WWW in your area please email:  i.trainhard@yahoo.co.uk or telephone/text :   07983570574

I have designed a large number of 4 minute home weight loss mini workouts.  Ideally do 3 or 4 of these a day with a few hours in between each one to maximize the after burn fat burning effect.

Subscribe to my youtube channel to make it easy to conduct these workouts.
Watch the exercise demonstrations and remember them and when the timer starts do the exercises at 100% effort and then wait for the results...simples.

Click the image above for my channel and the video below for a workout.

You are welcome and enjoy
