Now Personal Training really can change your life, let's see how and what benefits you can get and achieve, how about to 2 dress sizes down in 30 days for a start!

Good training starts with understanding good posture!

We begin with the Postural Observational Assessment. This is THE most important assessment and here's why. The term posture is the most overused, misunderstood term in the fitness industry. Instructors inform their clients to maintain good posture, when they themselves have little if any appreciation of what good posture involves. Posture can be described as "The position in which the body maintains optimal length-tension relationships between agonists and antagonists and the optimal alignment of joints". So assessing the body's structure, pinpoints structural muscle imbalances and postural deviations. Bad posture must be corrected to avoid injuries, to heal injuries and create the foundation of core strength needed to attain the future results within, endurance, strength and power exercise programs.

Poor technique in gym workouts coupled with bad posture is epidemic in today's gyms. People rush through workouts with no idea or appreciation of what they want to achieve. So I focus not just on exercise posture but daily 24 hour posture, how you stand, sit and even sleep. positions of daily living (PDL's). We now focus on range of motion and movement pattern assessments. Checking flexibility and the body's movements through the kinetic chain during movement is key to understanding the structure of the fitness program I need to design you. The neuro-muscular system is made up of slow twitch and fast twitch muscles each having a different role to play in the body. We can break these down into, phasic, tonic and mixed muscles. Nerve impules get to tonic muscle first before phasic, because of there lower excitability threshold. This means that put under faulty repetitive loading, tonic muscles shorten and phasic muscles weaken thereby causing bad posture, weakness and in short very little results in a gym setting. This directly affects your posture, overall body strength and your chance of future injury. The lower back especially can be injured, you then enter the pain spasm cycle. Poor postural position leads to increased muscle activation, increasing muscle ischaemia, then muscle reflex contraction, equals pain!

Lower back pain is on the increase and understanding the muscular relationship between core and lumbo-pelvic stability is key for me to eliminate your back pain for good. Stabilising the sacro-iliac joint by increasing form and forced closure through corrective and core training techniques is employed. Increasing the structural integrity of this joint through the ligamentous structures that increase forced closure, particularly the sacrotuberous ligament and the long dorsal sacro-iliac ligament. A workout designed from these assessments of your body, will give you incredible abdominals and a pain free lower back for good.

So this initial core phase is paramount importance. Core stability provides central body control and allows you to generate power maximising the efficiency of your muscular effort. Its the ability of your trunk to support the work and effort from your arms and legs. Then muscles and joints can perform in their safest, strongest and most effective positions. Remember you are only as strong as your weakest link, so if your weak link IS your core you will need to train this specifically.

After the breathing assessments diaphramatic breathing is taught to correct incorrect breathing patterns so clients breaths correctly during exercise and all day in fact! This initial stage of postural correction is known as weak link activation. The transfer of forces from the extremeties transfers to the core efficiently. Bad posture promotes faulty force transfer and predictably injury, weakness and lack of performance. From this foundation program you can now progress through the energy systems, movement patterns and planes of motion to give you THE most effective workout ever. After this you can experience the awesome endurance, strength and power integrated fitness programs I utilise and design uniquely for you.

personal training throughout essex - diets and nutrition

Diet, diet and diets!!! There is a 1000 diets and 1000's of so called diet foods. Well think again. In my new show 'Six Pack in Four Weeks' you get the exercises that give you amazing abs. You'll need the diet too. Remember you are what you eat. Never has a saying been so true. For the past 10 years my clients and I have followed the Blood Type diet. It has been the most successful and healthiest way for me to get the ripped healthy body I need. Take a look at my clients' photos to see their results too.

According to Dr. Peter DÁdamo, author of Eat Right For Your Type, a chemical reaction occurs between your blood and the foods you eat. This reaction is part of your genetic inheritance. This reaction is caused by a factor called Lectins. Lectins, abundant and diverse proteins found in foods, have agglutinating properties that affect your blood.

So when you eat a food containing protein lectins that are incompatible with your blood type antigen, the lectins target an organ or bodily system and begin to agglutinate blood cells in that area. Different lectins target different organs and body system.

Fortunately, most lectins found in the diet are not quite so life threatening, although they can cause a variety of other problems, especially if they are specific to a particular blood type. For the most part your immune systems protect you from lectins. Ninety-five percent of the lectins you absorb from your typical diets are sloughed off by the body. But at least five percent of the lectins you eat are filtered into the bloodstream and different reactions in different organs.




Your blood type diet is the restoration of your natural genetic rhythm. Your blood type diet works because you are able to follow a clear, logical, scientifically researched plan based on your cellular profile. Each food groups are divided into three categories: Highly beneficial (food that acts like Medicine), Foods allowed (food that are no harm to the blood type) and Foods not allowed (food that acts like a Poison).



The Eat Right for your Type book is a great way to get on track. The next step is my Six Pack Diet which is a whole new world giving consistent fat reduction. This diet takes some explaining... Watch this space!
