Holford - Recommended Reading

With books such as The Holford Low GL Diet, and a list of others, these books provide a thorough guide to eating the right foods for optimum health, lifestyle and energy levels.

The book is a guide to healthy eating which educates the reader about what is doing your body good, and what ISN'T.

For those who enjoy carbohydrate with everything they eat, prepare yourself for some unwelcome revelations about what it is doing to your health. Unless you are performing an extremely active job, it is likely that your calorie intake is more than double that required to survive. Inevitably, the result of excess carbohydrate and fat is stored fat under your skin.

The GI or GL theory is well known, and Holford is the best exponent of it on the shelf. He goes into a lot of detail which is convincing enough to persuade you to alter the contents of your trolley next time you buy the groceries.

Follow the Holford theory, and watch your energy levels rise, reduce your periods of daily fatigue, and reduce the weight and size of your stored bodyfat.

Touch Marketing

If you need a top of the range website, look no further than Touch Marketing and Design, of Blackburn, Lancashire.

They produce a very good website for me, and somehow translate my non-artistic ideas and requirements into shapes, words and pictures onto PWRs website at www.pwrpersonaltraining.co.uk.

Daniel and David are committed to high quality output. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them if that's what you seek.

Keep up the fine work, lads.

Summer 2009

Congratulations on all my clients so far this summer. If you thought running in sleet and a wind chill factor of minus 5 centigrade was bad, just ask any one of my clients what it feels like to run in 28 celsius heat!

Most were wise to take on increased levels of drinking water, but nevertheless found the June sun a real challenge to exercise in. Well done eve

ryone.

In recent weeks I have seen clients reach varying targets, not all of them fitness based! Russell blitzed the Manchester 10k without any trouble. Swapna returned to the bodyshape she wanted despite a very busy schedule of work and motherhood, and one lady became pregnant. Nothing to do with my training methods, but clearly she had plenty of energy after her training programme with PWR.

It is sometimes all to easy to curse the heat, but a moment of reflection on the long winter months between these brief months of lengthy days of fairly warm and fairly dry weather !!! should remind us to enjoy every minute of it.

A chance to get out and enjoy exercising in the daylight and in decent conditions. Its less of a chore when the sun's shining, and the more we can do,

the more the benefits will be to our health and fitness.

I'll be starting my kettlebell class at St. Augustine's Fitness and Sports Centre in Avenham, Preston, in September, in addition to some exclusive small group fitness masterclasses within the fitness room at certain times to be arranged.

I also stock a range of top of the range and top value exercise nutrition products which genuinely expedite the achievement of physical improvements. Just ask Chris Hall, who has lost nearly 20lb in weight since having a small number of workouts in the winter, and who uses a Meal Replacement shake to ensure correct nutrition through the day, to boost energy and prevent snacking on fat and sugar.

Keep your eyes on this blog for regular updates on what's happening in the fitness world, and within the world of PWR Personal Training.

Happy Holidays to everyone.
