Just photographed this out of LIFELAB, The latest medical research news from QIMR Berghofer. I won’t mention the Doctor but she’s head of the a department. - Notice the words “Louder”. - This is serious shit people. - We as humans can’t keep stuffing our faces with what ever we want and expect no repercussions. And not just now but for the children of the future. - #realtalk #nutrition - I’m not your average PT 🤔 and I make no apologies from screaming from the roof “eat better!” - #thefutureisfit #pronutrichef (at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5U1OOnY_b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vthm3z3mbfgj

Mount Cootha you were a maze of steep ups and long downs!! Will definitely be seeing you again soon. - Still testing out my nutrition along the way. - Practicing nutrition before a marathon is as important as practicing running and recovery strategies before race day. Everyone needs something a little different. And this is time to find out what you’ll need based on what you like, how your digestive system- Gastrointestinal tract responds to foods. - Before a race, as in the days leading up and especially the night before you’ll want to make sure there are some good healthy whole grain carbs in there. Good healthy low glycemic carbs. Race day is different. In any endurance sport the body will want fast acting carbs or high glycemic carbs. Usually regarded as unhealthy. But in this instance the body doesn't need to work in breaking down whole grains. It needs quick digesting and an easy load on the stomach as all the other systems are working to keep the muscles firing, heart and lungs racing along. - My goal is to keep energy up naturally but also preserve muscle. It’s hard to tell when it’s cardiovascular fitness slowing or energy levels. So as long as i’m still moving and being consistent it WILL happen! Today was probably overkill with the sugary snacks and drinks but i’m also very cautious about not under eating which could be detrimental to muscle mass loss being lean already. So over snacking as long as my tummy isn’t turning or I need to run the bathroom i’ll be fine. I can always reduce the carbs during the week to only what’s essential (what we all should be doing anyway) if I’m body fat is increasing too much. - Time to eat- Slow cooked lamb, braised with cracked wheat ‘salad’. - ⛰🏋🏻‍♀️🥊🤙🏼 - #fightingforfitness #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #personaltrainingbrisbane #albionpersonaltrainer #albionpt #marathon #trailrunning #ultramarathon #training @endurasportsnutrition @thebarcounter #pronutrichef (at Mount Coot-Tha) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwgfdWVnioL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=42tgs0jgeuk1

Try a lighter weight as an intro to these banded back squats. ✅ Try keeping the knees tracking (in line) with toes as you squat. Squat as low as you can. The tension you keep on the band will give you some added activation on mostly the ABductors but you’ll feel it all through your legs most likely. ✅ This is a great way to train your knees tracking over your toes. If you want start with banded body weight squats first. ✅ You’ll almost always see me with my clients squatting with some variation. Never underestimate the basics. Repeat as often as possible and mix it up regularly. ✅ For a realistic no bullshit approach to a gym program getting you good at the fundamentals of basic human movement come say hello in the gym. I don’t give a fuck about keeping up appearances or chasing happiness. I give a fuck about your results and my results.

Having a play with banded squats. Considerably harder at the top. I think I’ll alternate week to week (with & without) and see how it feels. . Finished the session with deadlifts, behind the neck press, BB back hypers and maximal effort DB snatch. 🏋🏻‍♀️ . Was feeling pretty drained during this session. . #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #squats #personaltrainingbrisbane #TFIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt 🧢 (at The Future is Fit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsm0rm3HCP7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bn0bjqepsnla

The road to Snatch my body weight was long underway in 2018. Here 30kg Snatch looks heavy and very wobbly but so far is the best I’ve done to date as I squat down and return to standing. After some of my sets I would have to trigger various points until I could do it pain free. This was the result. I’m happy with this for now. Next goal is to simply get this smooth for 5 reps. Then add more weight. Stay tuned! 🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️ . #olympiclifting #olympicweightlifting #snatch #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #personaltrainingbrisbane #FIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BskZW59neQD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzcvxe0gsnnb

Salad season is a perfect way to get everything in one bowl that you like. A few simple tips to follow: 💭pick something sweet like cherry tomatoes, blueberries or sweet potato. 💭look for something salty like bacon pieces, olives, smoked salmon or capers. 💭choose your protein. Chicken, hard boiled eggs, frittata (bit sized cubes), thinly sliced Beef, tin pink salmon. 💭Find lots of colours. 💭Add some seeds or nuts. 💭Get creative with legumes such kidney beans or chick peas. 💭Don’t be afraid to mix anything you want. Flavour combinations are infinite. Most work but some don’t. Have fun with it. 🍽🥣🍵🍴🥣🍵🍽🍴🥣 #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #squats #personaltrainingbrisbane #TFIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqElOqUHdDk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tjuidn7tz34r

Dips for shoulder joint and tricep strength. Use full range and only do if your shoulders are healthy. Elbow 90% at the bottom and lock out squeezing the tricep at the top. Dips! Do them! 👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓 #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #squats #personaltrainingbrisbane #TFIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpwDoXDnAGT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=159l6ht9cjvtv

How low do you squat? Are you not giving your butt muscles the love they deserve by only going half way down or worse ⅔ of the way down. Of course if you’re limited by pain, tightness sort that out first with a PT or EP. If you’re not strong enough to get back up or too scared you need to reduce the weight and earn your time under the bar with plenty of practice. That’s why they’re called repetitions! My lifts are very far from any elite level. It takes time. Years. Come for the journey! I’ll make it fun!! Be patient get help if you need and enjoy the journey. See me for a squat workshop. Usually 3 sessions will be enough to get you on the right track with some homework. May your future be fit! #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkFJW2FFcH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15husmmuiz1nb
