10 Tips to Lose the Festive Fat

Buzz Gym owner, Adam Stowell, gives his expert tips on shifting that festive fat.

1. Hit a water goal (bw (kg) x 0.39 divided by 10) = Litres of water to drink per day
2. Eat a High Protein. High essential fat breakfast – Eggs are a great option try poaching and adding some seeds to top!
3. Detoxfiy and regulate hormones by drinking lots of Green Tea try adding a mug after each meal for estrogen metabolism and starch breakdown!
4. Weight train at least twice per week – resistance training will increase fat loss and metabolism to a greater extent than cardio alone so push, squeeze and pull those reps at Buzz Gym!
5. Fix your sleep – add in foods high in magnesium like spinach. mackerel or avocado to raise magnesium levels which will help evening relaxation.
6. The Protein meaning translated is ‘food of most importance’ therefore eat your proteins on your plate first to prioritse this macronutrient you will then be more full up and satisfied leaving you less likely to overeat energy foods like rices, pasta and bread.
7. One easy food plan is to only eat things that have grown, flown, ran or swam this means pop tarts for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch are OUT and a smoked salmon and bacon breakfast and sweet potato and chicken meal for lunch are IN
8. Alkalize the blood through food and drink, inflammation is now seen to be one of the main reasons for poor fat loss, reduce this by alkalizing the blood more drink your water with fresh lime in and keep intake of green veggies high in yur diet to alkalize even further, try Coconut water to increae hydration as well as alkalizing the blood PH.
9. Toxicity can be especially high after the festive period this means a high quality multi vitamin and/or vitamin C formula could help you and set up a better body for effective fat loss.
10. Feel the burn – when training aim for that burning feeling this is a byproduct of lactate levels in the blood rising this in turn will increase GH levels in the body which will help to burn fat and build lean muscle!

12 Days of Christmas

‘Strictly’ Comes to Reading!!!

It’s time to put on your dancing shoes, even if you can’t dance. Reading is about to go ‘Strictly’ mad!

If you want to get fit, fast, lose those unwanted pounds and have more fun than you can believe doing it, here’s some great news for you.

‘Strictly Come Dancing’ dance stars Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite have teamed up with six time world champion swimmer Mark Foster and a group of health and fitness professionals to produce a unique dance and fitness programme – ‘FitSteps’.

They have combined, for the first time, the best known and most popular Latin and Ballroom dances with proven fitness techniques, to develop a dance/fitness programme that is capable of delivering fast fitness results, with a heap of fun thrown in!

Just look at what some of the lucky people who’ve already had the chance to try FitSteps have been saying:

• ‘It was like a dream I really enjoyed it’
• ‘It was fab! Good and easy to follow’
• ‘YES! YES!’
• ‘Absolutely give it a go; you’ll love it!!’
• ‘You should go because it is amazing’
• Do it and you feel like you’re on STRICTLY!!
• It was brilliant! Fun and fitness combined.
• A workout that doesn’t feel like it, it’s so much fun!!
• Great fun, great music and a great workout, without even realising it.
• Great workout, fun, and makes you feel like a star!!!

And for anyone who’s thinking, ‘But I can’t dance’, there’s no excuse – you don’t have to able to dance! You just have to want to get fit and have fun.

And the best news of all is that FitSteps is just about to hit Advance Gym and Buzz Gym in Reading

So, if you’re ready to take to the floor and FitStep your way to a new you with Pam, who’s an accredited FitSteps Instructor, trained by Natalie and Ian in person, and book yourself in. NOW. Don’t miss out, there’s going to be a rush!
