Summer Tone 2012

The first session of the 'Summer Tone' module went really well. Seventeen clients all doing Pilates at the top of the hill...amazing feeling working outdoors with a warm breeze and the sun shining. Well done everyone xxx

Eat well and train well

Training burns calories - listen to your body and eat when you are hungry.  An ideal training diet is high in carbohydrates, low in fat with a good mix of protein, vitamins and minerals.

All foods provide energy (calories) but don’t waste time with empty calories - make sure each mouthful is nutritious. Try to eat fresh, natural ingredients,’ good’ calories if you can and select any processed foods carefully, checking the labels for those lowest in hidden fats and salts.  Remember to drink plenty of fluid throughout the day : )

Plan meals and snacks around your exercise as you will fatigue quickly on empty and so won’t achieve the best results.  

Eat and drink immediately after an endurance session.  Recovery is extremely important so rest after a hard work out session to help the muscles to repair.
