“Optimising Muscle Growth: Exercise Frequency with a Female Personal Trainer in London”
How often to exercise muscle growth personal trainer female weight
How long should you workout everyday to gain muscle
How Often, To Exercise Muscle Growth Personal Trainer London Gain Muscle London you go to the gym to four times a week Charles Poliquin and Paul Chek both agree and me to.4 times a week you get optimum results any more than that you’re overtraining and will not get results unless you’re on PED But in my opinion this is just pure cheating We can all gain up 30 lbs muscle within 12 weeks With the right exercise program and supplementation but many people don’t think this is possible Because they lack the knowledge and belief in themselves and probably have a typical program that is designed in their head not a program from science or from sports performance program.
Female do not get big in gym
Female need more power training. in gym
I’ve been asked this question many times. But, what is the best time to work out well if you’re a man, and you get a Stuffy in the morning is the best time if you get a Stuffy in the afternoon? Then afternoon is the best time. But for women, it’s completely different. They don’t get a Stuffy as far as I know. But I would say for most people, first thing in the morning. Or the latest, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, but I know many people do demanding jobs so they have to fit there and workout around their jobs, especially if you’re doing night work. but I would say try and quit your night job. And do something not going to make your body fat. in the long run, we designed want to be asleep at night and not awake so early from 6 am till 3 pm at the optimum time is the train if you train after 3 pm cortisol hormones are depleting because the body is getting ready for sleep so if you do train late you may sleep deeper or may not sleep at all because you’re jacking up your nervous system and your hormonal system so remember this if want the peak performance results 6 am to 3pm is best.
So the next question is how long should a training session last. you’ve heard of Arnold Schwarzenegger and other elite athletes saying They are training for five hours a day this is a complete and utter lie remember these guys are on PED Performance enhancing drugs Which enables them to train for longer and not get the overtraining response because of all the hormones are jacked up but really with a warmup stretching working-out and calling down your workout should last 60 minutes on average training my clients taking them through the process of warming up stretching then the workout is normally the workout itself 15 minutes so it’s a bit like hit training high intensity training which come out in 1952 it’s only recently become a Buzz word in the fitness industry So really your session should only be 60 Minutes coach Charles Poliquin says if you’re in the gym any longer You’re making friends you’re not getting yourself in shape and I totally agree with what he says I don’t train in the gym to make friends I train in the gym to have a great workout and to get peak sports performance enhancements.
weight are good for women’s bodies and bones
There’s a next subject is how much rest you really need between. each exercise that is depends on which reps. sets. and loads and tempos speed movement you’re doing in the gym if you’re training and doing a one rep max you need six minute maximum you should be resting from 4 to 6 minutes if you’re doing 12 to 8 reps and trying to gain muscle I would say one to 2 minutes depending on how you’re feeling more tired you are the more rest you may need Not really going down to lower reps from 4 to 6 means much more rest high reps 15 to 20 means less rest but you do the exercise much slower like a 3-3-3 tempo speed of movement.
women do not need to Cardiovascular then need weights

Golf I’ve been working On My golf core strength
SCOTT BRYANT
Fitness update
Week 2: I’ve been working on my core strength
For those of you who didn’t read my blog last week you will have missed the fact that I’ve signed up to what is effectively ‘Boot Camp’ for my body! The idea is to spend six weeks working intensively with leading personal trainer and golf biomechanics’ expert Scott Bryant so that I become fitter, healthier and most importantly, get a body that is much better conditioned to swing the golf club. After all like most golfers I turn up to play a competition every week with little preparation other than a few quick swings in the grass by the first tee – no wonder I complain of a bad back afterwards.
Scott is one of the leading golf fitness experts in the industry. He has studied at the C.H.E.K Institute and his knowledge of the body is second to none. This week Scott has given me a series of simple exercises that will help strengthen my core – the muscles that run down the centre of your body, just like the core of an apple. For the golfer the core is the vital focal point of your body, it helps to support and stabilise your golf swing. If you have weak core muscles then you will be putting a lot of pressure on your other muscles throughout the golf swing. A strong core gives more support and will help you hit the ball further!
Scott testing my core
Scott performed a couple of simple tests on me to see what core strength I had. The first is to stand up against a wall and then hold one arm up at shoulder height, bent to 90 degrees so that your fingers point to the ceiling.
Now get a friend to push against your hand and see if you can stay fixed in a stable upright stance. Without my core muscles activated I immediately toppled backwards (see picture 1 above). Then Scott showed me how to activate my core by pulling my muscles in around my belly button. With this strong centre established he repeated the test and hey presto I was still standing firmly upright – and Scott is a strong man! (See picture 2 above)
Core release with Scott Bryant.
The second test was to sit on a fitness Swiss ball, tilt back into a sit up position and engage my core muscles with my arms rotated and outstretched at my sides. My body immediately started shaking, a clear indication that my core muscles are weak, and I was only able to hold the position for a few seconds. Scott has given me this exercise to practise along with one final exercise and that’s a deep squat. Simply stand upright with the Swiss ball positioned between the middle of your back and the wall. Now slowly bend your knees and squat down, focusing on keeping the core muscles activated and the body in the same upright position that it started in. The deeper the squat you can make the harder the challenge.
Scott also taught me a great way to take this test to the golf course and challenge your core muscles to work on the tee. Address a drive, focusing on engaging your core muscles – you should feel strong. Now get a friend to tie a piece of string around the centre of your body. The goal is to hit the drive keeping your core muscles engaged. To do that the string must stay in place. If your core muscles relax the string will drop down.
Along with these simple exercises I’ve been following a healthy diet plan and drinking lots of water and I can honestly say I’m feeling a lot fitter already.

Did you know that 53% of Male and 45%
0f Female golfers suffer
From lower back pain?”
Every week hundreds of emails land in my inbox and I have to confess that most end up in the trash. But one particular email caught my attention last week and prompted me to follow up. The email started… “Did you know that 53% of Male and 45% of Female golfers suffer from lower back pain?”
It was a statistic that instantly struck a cord with me. Being a keen golfer I’m only too aware of the stress and strain I put my body under smashing the golf ball around the course a few times a week and I have to say that over the last few years I’ve been suffering with a terrible bad back. However like most golfers I do very little about it. I have a few warm up swings in the net, I try to avoid carrying my golf bag in favour of a trolley in the winter months, but that’s about it. The thought of going to the gym and training on a treadmill like a hamster on a wheel has little appeal and as for weights I wouldn’t know where to start to actually improve my physique to benefit my golf game.

Step in Scott Bryant – a personal trainer with a difference! Scott was once a doorman kicking out unruly pub goers but he knew he wasn’t fulfilling his potential in life so he decided to change career paths 11 years ago and has overcome severe dyslexia to study at the C.H.E.K Institute – one of the leading authorities on golfing fitness and well-being in the world. Since then Scott has been known as ‘the body mechanic’ and is working hard to becoming one of the leading experts in the industry. What sets him apart from other golf trainers is that he doesn’t just look at your physique but actually uses a holistic approach to improve your golf swing, looking at every aspect of your body as a whole before trying to improve it – what you eat, how you breathe, how the body functions and so on.I met Scott at his gym in central London and he spent a few hours assessing my body function. The shocking truth was that nearly every muscle in my body had some kind of restriction and that’s having a negative effect on both my golf game and my life. The encouraging part is hearing of Scott’s other golfing clients who have arrived in equally poor physical condition and many much worse… “I had one lady golfer come to me a year ago because she had been told by her doctor that she’d have to give up golf because she had a nasty knee injury,” explains Scott.
“They had operated several times unsuccessfully so I really was the last resort for her. But what the medic had failed to recognise that her physical restriction wasn’t just the result of walking around the golf course every week, it was a combination of lots of factors in her lifestyle right from her eating habits and throughout her daily routine. After working together for 12 months she’s not only playing the best golf of her life, she no longer has any knee pain now.”
After spending just a few hours with Scott I was totally convinced that I should start to follow a golf conditioning programme. After all, I want to play golf pain-free even when I’m an old lady! So over the coming weeks I’ll give you a brief insight into every aspect of my golf conditioning that Scott is working on. I know that this will require 100% commitment but I also know that the end result is that I’ll be a fitter, healthier and happier golfer, so watch this space…

Week 1: The truth hurts!
A full physical assessment with Scott lasts four hours and is extremely thorough. It’s not cheap (Scott charges £500 for the assessment) but as my golf coach husband tells me you get what you pay for – see this as an investment in yourself. During the assessment Scott examines every aspect of your body and lifestyle by asking thorough questions and getting you to undergo a whole range of physical assessments, everything from can you touch your toes to how well do you sleep at night! I was shocked at my lack of range of movement and the number of restrictions I had throughout my body.
World Of Ladies Golf Personal Trainer London
Among the findings Scott discovered that I don’t breathe properly – I’m a chest breather which basically means that I don’t fill my lungs with air properly, and this is one of many contributing factors that could be causing my lower back pain. So my homework this week is to spend 20 minutes every night practising a deep breathing exercise and learning to breathe in deeply so that I fill my lungs up fully from the pit of my stomach upwards. I learn to do this by placing a water bottle on my belly button and making sure it rises as I breathe in.
The other task I have to do is fill in a food diary for the next 10 days so that Scott can analyse what my daily food and drink intake is. He’ll then use this information to identify my metabolic type – what food groups such as Carbohydrates and Proteins my body requires to function effectively and he’ll set me a suitable diet.
I left the assessment with mixed feelings – negativity towards my current physical condition but inspired that this is a logical process that I can follow with the end goal of achieving the body and the swing that I’ve always wanted. This is just the start of my golf conditioning process but already I’m feeling excited!
Over the coming weeks this is what my golf conditioning programme should do for me…
. Improve my flexibility – I’ll be following a personalised stretching programme.
. Improve my postural alignment and endurance – essential for being able to set up correctly to the golf ball, make a good swing and play 18 holes of golf.
. Improve my game by reducing stiffness and pain in my muscles.
. Eliminate faults in my swing – my backswing turn in particular is restricted by tight muscles.
. Get strong, and be able to generate power – hit the ball further – yes please!
. Avoid injury and have more fun!
. Improve my swing and improve my scores.

Obesity levels in children
Obesity trainer London
At all time high in the UK,
Scott Bryant is a top personal trainer and CHEK Practitioner, he shares his views on children in our society today
What has gone wrong ? Some school dinners?
Too much home work? too much stress to do well in tests and examinations?
Not enough play time outdoors?
Morbidly Obese Help
Obesity Levels In Children At All Time High In The UK Also, in a lot of busy households, mum and dad are eating poorly. As we grow up we mirror our parents, as they are our closest role models: we see mum and dad sitting in front of the tv eating pizza and we think it’s cool. On top of that we have pc’s, lap tops, ipads and play stations – which I think we should rename “fat stations”.
Treats for kids are almost always terrible for the body – Coca Cola, why on earth would you want to give your kids something that is strong enough to disintegrate a tooth over a 2 day period. Would you be happy to give your child paint stripper? no thought not.. then why do we happily give children sweets and ice cream which contain diethyl glycol — a cheap chemical used to take the place of eggs, which is also used in anti-freeze and paint removers and Acetate, again common in most ice creams and sweets, can also be used as a paint solvent and it’s vapors have been known to cause chronic organ damage! – Fun food in reality is nothing by poison.

Kids are getting less and less exercise because they spend a lot of time sitting around: in the car to and from school, at school all day and then evenings and weekends in front of the tv, play station etc, When they come home from school they have snacks and meals full of fat and sugar and then they go to their room to sit in front of their pc, do their home work and then the ‘fat station’ goes on till 10 pm or even 12 am.
This is why some of our kids are getting fat. And the presence of TVs and PCs etc. in their bedrooms means that there is lots of electro-magnetic pollution which stops the body from going into the deep sleep which their young bodies need for healing and cleaning.
Bad food too late at night, too much stress from school and not eating as a family. This could be the biggest mistake as we de-stress when we eat with mum and dad and we learn to enjoy good food. The breakdown of families and and the stress from school and too much home work and the stress to be the best is greatly contributing to making kids fat.
There is so much bad food in the shops and on tv that we just don’t know what to buy any more. 40 years ago we did not have such a problem with fat children: we lived differently:
no school runs in the car; less homework; lots of family time; getting to bed on time – fewer late nights; fresh meat and vegetables, more water to drink; more exercise, and less ‘sitting’. All this would improve the health of our children and reduce the incidence of obesity.

When it comes to hyperactive children, I think it is too much bad food, and sweet drinks, some school dinners which are still loaded with fat and sugar and not enough exercise. Sugar is the biggest drug on the the planet and it’s legal. It is in all processed food: the food companies know it is addictive that why it is in everything from baked beans to bread and cakes, and of course soft drinks. Microwave meals and processed meat products also often contain sugar.
You put bread in your kid’s packed lunch along with a chocolate bar. They get no exercise at school. At home, mum and dad are too busy to play with their kids or to take the time to give them good food, but stress them out to do their home work. Hyperactive children become this way because of bad foods, no love from mum and dad, and too much sugar.
Aspartame is another problem. It is toxic. It replaces sugar in chewing gum and lots of kids’ sweets and fizzy drinks. People think that because the products are sugar free they are not bad for you. The opposite is true. It is a drug and is not a food that the body can recognise. At 100 degrees, in the body, it turns into formaldehyde that is used to embalm dead bodies.
Children’s bodies are like plants: they need fresh water, good food, lots of loving care, sun light and movement and sufficient rest at night. If you play loud rock music to a plant it will not grow in the way it should – this has been scientifically proven. If you water it too much or too little it will die.
This is where we are going wrong with our children`; too much stress, too much homework, bad food, too much sugar, not enough exercise, too much tv and computer games, and not enough love. FEMALE FIRST.

How To Set Up Home Gym

Do you need treadmills rowing machines and power bikes for your home gym, no not at all you can have a fantastic cardiovascular workout using kettle bells club bells and dumbbells when you have a great program design and you could probably save yourself 2 to £3000 on buying equipment that you don’t really need we have to remember that the cardiovascular system in the strength system is not working independently The opposite is talking to Personal trainer is because the fitness in the city wants to make money from these bits of expensive equipment which I was not really needed So if you only buy what I mentioned that the above post it will save yourself thousands of pounds and you won’t need to have extra room in your home to put the expensive power bike rowing machine or running machine remember these bits of kit breakdown discuss in more money but dumbbells, barbells kettle bells club bills T–Rex is and Swiss balls really ever break
Exercise equipment you don’t always have to buy brand-new you could check out your local charity shop to see if they have some dumbbells or Swiss balls but they may have lying around that you can buy very cheaply or Friends and family if they have any bits of equipment that they don’t use anymore unfortunately about January time lots of people have great intentions, but they give up after two weeks this could be an ideal time for you to really save a lot of money on buying their fitness equipment for them I’ve purchased a Bosu from a charity shop for £10 when it was online for £45 So keep a look out but if you really wanna train on no budget Bodyweight exercises are excellent but your body will adjust to it within four weeks, so you need to change what you’re doing I’ll get a program designed to make sure you keep improving don’t start guessing about your improvements, make sure you get assessments so you can quantify how are you are improving
Scott has been working out in a home gym and the park for over 32 years Scott does love the gym like that any person, but if you’re on a tight budget that you still wanna get great session by buying the bit kits got recommend, it will save up to £504 on your gym membership and not have the stress of waiting for equipment when the gym is busy and.to have the freedom to exercise whenever you want, but if you need motivation and somebody to guide you along the way Scott is more than happy to do this for a feeEquipment Scott has recommended he’s been using for over 2 1/2 years and Some bits of equipment for more than 20 Scott would not recommend anything unless he has tried and tested it himself so you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch hope you enjoyed the blog
