SOCCER READY FITNESS WITH TOTAL BODY FITNESS 4 SOCCER

KICKSTART YOUR SOCCER FITNESS TRAINING WITH TOTAL BODY FITNESS 4 SOCCER

After a harsh winter like the one we’ve had with ice storms and damage caused to surrounding trees and more snow than we’ve seen in over 30 years, we should be happy to move into  a new season…spring!  However, warmer temperatures and melting snow does not necessarily provide ideal playing conditions for athletes practicing and playing on grass terrain.  Wet, muddy, uneven terrain can put a damper on an athlete’s soccer season with a higher risk of injury due to the field condition as well as risk of falling tree branches.  Why not, kick start your outdoor fitness early  on Total Body Fitness artificial sports turf  providing optimal training conditions. Ideal for individual as well as small group sports conditioning.  Come and see why Total Body Fitness has been voted #1 in Brampton year after year!

Ian King Helps Local Athlete Rise To The Top

Many young athletes have dreams of making the “big league”, dreams of making it to the top.  Well, Total Body Fitness is proud to say that one of our dedicated clients, an 18 year old aspiring soccer player in on his way there.  After months of preparation, between two and four times a week of intense strength conditioning with our very own sports conditioning trainer Ian King, our client was finally ready for his tryout.  It was not just about preparing his body for the challenge, it was also about preparing his mind.  The physical conditioning was a necessary component to ensuring his success at the tryouts but the confidence building was the critical component to securing him one of only a few spots on League 1 Brantford in England. When training with Ian, our young client received a lot of encouragement and motivation to help him to “believe in himself”.   He landed the spot because after training with Ian he knew he was physically ready AND he “believed” he could DO IT!

Total Body Fitness Stresses the Importance of Eating Well

Last week I decided that I would not watch what I was eating all Thanksgiving weekend long.  Everyone who knows me knows that I exercise daily and eat well  too.  The muscles I’ve built through my strength training over the years are well established and act as a great fat-burning mechanism in my body.  But it’s not enough that I exercise daily, I must eat regularly and eat the right amounts and the right types of foods too.  This is the magic combination I use to maintain my high fitness level.  A three day long weekend was upon us and I was on a mission to see what impact it would have on my body if I didn’t control my eating over this period.  

Day 1- I started off at 173 lbs in the morning and ended up at 178 lbs in the night.  I exercised for an hour that day on an intense strength training routine.

Day 2- I started off at 1785.8 lbs in the morning and ended up at 178.3 lbs in the night.  My diet this day included my first turkey dinner and all the fixings as well as wine to celebrate the occasion.  I skipped desert as eating without limits that day seemed to upset my stomach.   Earlier in the day,  I had exercised for an hour on an intense strength training routine.

Day 3- I started off at 175.8 in the morning and ended up at 178.3 by night.  Earlier in the day, I exercised for an hour on an intense strength training routine before heading out to my second turkey dinner which included more wine and minimal dessert.  After dinner, I ventured on a 3 hour intense cycling trip which exceeded a distance of more than 30 kms!!! 

 This morning’s final weigh in arrived at 176 lbs!  Despite more than 3 hours of intense strength training over 3 days and more than 3 hours of intense cycling, I still managed to put on 3.7 lbs just by not controlling my diet during this same period.

The moral of this story….. You can exercise well and frequently but you will not get the body you want unless you monitor and control your diet as well!!!
