Losing weight and toning.

Recently i have been trying to lose weight for summer to look leaner, lighter and perform better for the sport i play!

I started this diet back in December and i have lost over 3 stone, i have tried a bunch of different things before regards different diets, different training methods and even personal training(which works).

The thing i found after reading through countless training, diet and nutrition books is that everyone is different, everyone has different metabolic rates, fast and slow twitch fibers , aerobic and anaerobic capacity, stress levels, working hours, how physical and demanding work is, family.

Everyone has different dedications and different reasons why they can and cannot train. i would say try something that works for you, try different diets and foods and mix things up, keep the body guessing!

We can help your training here at the fitness hub. our highly qualified and experienced staff can help you with your programmes and diet! I have tried and tested diets that work for me and tried and tested almost every training  method/ routines that have worked. We can help you achieve!

Going back to the diet i have also found that you do really need to mix it up, i plateau after about 6 weeks of the same diet and training so i mixed it up, started doing carbohydrate cycles, adding and taking more calories on different days, eating more meals but smaller, eating fresh foods instead of processed,  add super sets and mega sets into my training, less rest periods, and getting decent amounts of sleep.All these different things i have added and subtracted during my few months of dieting and found the best way to get results is to train hardcore but keep changing it up also you wont get bored and becomes easier and more sustainable!

Also supplements which i have been a bit negative on before, but such natural fat burners and thermogenics such as chilli burn and green tea have helped to aid my weight loss and toning!

I am hoping to lose a further half a stone to get the last bits of fat off, this has helped my sports specific training and general well being, in the coming months i will be looking to change my diet again and go into competitions with fellow fitness hub member Mike Kempton who will be entering bodybuilding competitions later this year and we wish him luck.

All this information is attainable at the Fitness hub Portishead where we can help you achieve your goals and promote a healthy lifestyle.
