Food, Exercise and Weight Loss – an article from the New York Times

Monday, June 28th, 2010

I came across this article over the weekend. It is outlining some discoveries into the role exercise plays in weight loss.

As I always say, changing your eating habits is the key to real weight loss and what they have found in this article is that exercise should play the role of maintaining weight once you have lost the weight through diet and regular exercise. In other words, don’t rely on exercise alone for your weight loss.

The article is far more in depth and interesting than that and definitely worth reading all the way through! The sections on hormones and appetite and how both can change when you exercise regularly are very interesting.

Outdoor Group Personal Fitness Training Centennial Park workout of the week

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Although it was a little chilly this morning, this was an awesome workout to start the week. Well done guys!


For those interested in joining, we perform X-fitness once per week. It is based on CrossFit methodology and is a great way to test your fitness as all workouts are results based by either time or repetition.


Workout 1
On the minute every minute perform one of the following depending on your fitness level;
a) 5 sit ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats
b) 10 sit ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats
c) 15 sit ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats
Repeat for 10 minutes

Workout 2
On the minute every minute perform 20 mountain climbers
Use the rest of the minute to do backwards walking lunges until you reach a total of 200 lunges
Every minute the timer will beep which means you have to run back to your towel and do your mountain climbers then carry on your lunges from your previous count.

Workout 3
Run 60 seconds
Rest 60 seconds
Runs will increase by 30 seconds each time all the way to 3 minutes
Rest will stay consistent at 60 seconds each time
When the runs reach 3 minutes in length, they will decrease 30 seconds at a time all the way back to 1 minute

See you all in the park soon- Troy Shipsey
