Gazpacho2

Looking to lose weight or maybe just improve your diet? Gazpacho soup could be the answer. This soup is unusual as it is served raw with ice cubes. This soup has been enjoyed for many years in italy as part of a healthy diet and now you can enjoy it's amazing weight loss benefits.

I have the pleasure of knowing a great professional chef and he has written a recipe just for my website. If you would like to know more click below to see how it's made.

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 17:10:35 -0700 Overweight? Why cardio isn't the fix... http://personal-trainer-in-london.posterous.com/overweight-why-cardio-isnt-the-fix http://personal-trainer-in-london.posterous.com/overweight-why-cardio-isnt-the-fix

Treadmill

Why do people use CV to lose weight?

Cardio vascular training / aerobic training has been used by many to lose weight as a means to burn calories. Many people who adopt this principal state that they do this to burn more calories than they consume.

 

Treadmill_1

What I have against aerobic execise as the primary weight loss technique.

  • boring
  • repetitive
  • causes injury
  • promotes efficiency
  • No progressive effect

If you eat badly, aerobic training will have little effect. Jogging for 45min uses less energy than two chocolate bars, so if your diet is not what it should be you could be wasting your time. Also exercising on a treadmill is boring, repetitive and doesn't stimulate the mind. Your mind should be as excited as the body to replicate real life activity and to promote the necessary chemical reactions and hormones in the body.

After a while your body will become more used to this form of exercise and it will cause you to become more efficient. This meant that you will have to do more and more of this repetetive training to acheive the same effect and that increases your risk of injury through repetitive strain and impact.

 

Ok so what should you do to lose weight effectively?

The best way to lose weight is to combine a healthy natural diet with resistance training. Resistance training can come in many forms but your aim should be to build lean muscle tissue. This training method has several benefits. Not only will this training cause you to you to use energy in the gym, but the damage you will cause to your muscles will cause your body to use energy to repair for 3-4 days, leaving your metabolic rate soaring.

The main reason why resistance training is more effective than standard cardio is it's progressive effect. Over time you will create more and more lean muscle and as living tissue it will consume your energy on an ongoing basis. Thus your metabolism will continue to increase.

Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:15:50 -0700 (RE: London Personal Training) Hard work pays off in the end right? ;) http://personal-trainer-in-london.posterous.com/re-london-personal-training-hard-work-pays-of http://personal-trainer-in-london.posterous.com/re-london-personal-training-hard-work-pays-of

Computer_nerd

As you may know already I have just moved to London and I am continuing to personal train in a gym just north of London city in Angel Islington. To stablise my business I have a new London personal training website and I am working on this around the clock to get it optimised for London.

Because of this I literally work very long days 7 days a week for very little returns. I am exhausted, but at the same time hopeful and slightly excited. If I manage to pull this off I will be in a better situation than I have ever been.

I have boosted a personal training site to the top of google for Leicester, but never for anywhere with as much competition as London. This is really going to test my skills. Anyway wish me luck as I am going to give this London personal training site everything I have!

Mike :)
