Just came back from TRX Train the Trainer course conducted by Fitness Anywhere’s Fitness director (and my mentor) Fraser Quelch, together with his master trainers Neil Mallinson and Dan McDonogh! It’s certainly an honour and privilege to be the first 2 Singaporeans to be trained to become TRX master trainers in the near future.

All my clients know that I do not sell any supplements or equipments. That is about to change, with the TRX.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for more than 14 years – I find that the TRX is one of the most versatile and outstanding piece of equipment that everyone should have in their bags. Best of all, it’s for people of all Fitness levels – from beginner to elite athletes.

Benefits of TRX Suspension Training

There’s too many benefits to the TRX. I’m just going to list down a few here

1. It’s ‘All core all the time’
2. It’s fun, and functional
3. It can be easily learned and resistance level adjusted so that those at ground zero fitness can work on it. The TRX can be very challenging elite athletes.
4. The TRX is small and light – fits in a bag and weighs less than 2 pounds and can be used anywhere
5. I personally thought it was expensive until I’ve used it for my own training. In all sincerity, the price is low for the benefits that you’ll get in return from your workouts. I strongly recommend everyone to invest in one if you’re into fitness.

Here’s what you can achieve (for beginners or the advanced) just by using the TRX alone, in 1 month.

1. Improve your strength and balance
2. Improve your flexibility
3. Improve your cardio and endurance
4. Improve your functionality

Make your body your machine

TRX® Suspension Training® harnesses your own bodyweight to create resistance as you train. That’s all you need – the TRX and your own body. No additional weights required.

Unlimited Versatility

We’re all unique. Not only is each individuals body built a little differently, but we each fill our lives with a mix of physical activities that can require specific training. TRX Suspension Training allows you to instantly adjust not only the level of difficulty for each exercise, but you can easily customize any workout on the fly.

Maximize your training time

You can easily switch from exercise to exercise in less than 15 seconds. This allows you to maximize your training time and enables circuit style workouts.

Build core strength

Killer abs are great, but more importantly, having a strong core will prevent injuries, improve posture and increase overall strength. This is because all of our movements are powered by the torso – the abs and back work together to support the spine during everyday activities and exercise. Suspension Training builds core strength with every exercise by creating an element of instability that calls on your core to provide balance and coordination.

Life doesn’t happen sitting down

In real life, our bodies move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. Shouldn’t we train the same way? Unlike traditional weight training that tends to be linear and follow one plane of movement (sagittal), Suspension Training encourages multiplanar training (frontal, sagittal, transverse) which integrates all your motions and mimics real life movement. This will bring a muscular balance to your body, increasing performance and preventing injuries.

ALPHA OEIII… BRAVO OEIII…!!

HPB waved to you to come on board. You took the plunge. You braved yourself. You grooved to the beat.

You made it – you’re with the most efficient and effective group of Fitness seekers for 3 months, and with the most Motivational and Creative Fitness Professionals here in Singapore.

It’s been 4 weeks. How time flies. Now what?

Think back, 1 week before the start of your first Fitness Bootcamp. Where were you? How were your standards in fitness? How FAT were you?

You’ve lost 3 to 7 kilos. You’ve lost inches. You’re now so much fitter.

Your Body is Now Conditioned for Fitness

NOW WHAT?

It’s time to Raise the Standards and Step up to the competition. You are your own competition.

In order to progress you have to STEP UP.

If you keep the level maintain and not increase your Standards. You will be that – at maintanance level. We’re now into the Performance Level.

In order to improve you have to STEP UP!

Walk faster. Jog longer. Climb Higher.

If you think you cant, You MUST. Do you want to get your body to love fitness and endorphins that you’ll crave to exercise beyond these 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and more? Start NOW.

STEP UP!

Assignment 4

STEP UP!

It’s time to Raise the standards. Raise the bar. Raise YOUR BAR.

(a) What can you improve and how much more of it will you do?

Some areas you want to talk about – the domains of your life pertaining to Fitness -

1. Physical (Progression, Intensity, Duration, Variety, etc)
2. Social (More workout time with family, play sports with friends)
3. Psychological (Confident, Self Esteem, Energetic, etc)
4. Knowledge (Learn new exercises, Read on Nutrition, etc)

Please include Before, Current and After today plans.

Eg:  “Prior to joining the programme, I can’t climb more than 3 floors. Now I’m able to do 10 without panting. I’ll push myself to the next level and will do 15 in my next workout!”

(b) OPTIONAL – What have been stopping you from working out and raising your bar since 4 weeks ago?

Bootcampers OEII….

Superb work! Your dedication to getting fit is truly inspiring and I have to say that most of you are shining stars – not only that you have a high level of motivation for yourself, but to cheer your teammate on, to nudge them a little further, to work and move together as a TEAM.

Let’s now take it a notch higher and increase the tempo – let’s progress and increase the intensity from where we left off!

Take Massive Action

 Week 3 have gone and passed. We’re in the next chapter now.If you’ve been riding the wave (of the Lose to win challenge) passively.. I urge you to step it up and make it an ACTIVE one. We’re all forming a habit here – to have exercising and making healthy living part of our lives. In case you’re not sure of what action to take – here’s two broad things you should do:

1. Energy Expenditure
   Increase your physical activity
   3 to 5 times a week
   30 to 60 mins each time
   Make it fun and social
2. Energy Intake
   Lower your food consumption
   Eat 5 *small* meals a day
   Have 19% less, portionwise
   Choose healthier food
   Learn to love salads (with little dip)

Just like a smoker who is addicted to nicotine, a lot of us are addicted to food (me included). A lot of willpower and strength is needed to say no to changing our eating pattern *initially*, and if you’re able to do so, you’re on your way to a beautiful and healthy life.

The reason why some of you are NOT losing weight yet.

Some are not losing weight / not losing a lot of weight.

First of all, are you working out enough and eating lesser already? If not, what are you waiting for?

From the data we collected, on average we’ve lost about 3 kgs so far – which is GREAT. It is in accordance to Health Promotion Board’s Weight Loss guidelines. A 1kg a week weight loss is healthy and is also recommended by the ACSM (leading international fitness authority).

We also have individuals who have lost 5 to 6 kilos in the second week!! Nice – while it is a little too fast a rate for us (who’s driven by guidelines and recommendations from research), we are also aware that this is possible and good IF you’ve been good and exercising – BURNING CALORIES. If you’ve been on a Crash Diet – that is totally unacceptable and not recommended as it is (1) unhealthy (2) results in a Yo-Yo diet which means you will gain back the weight that you’ve lost in the near future. We want permanent weight loss. However, if you’ve been exercising (5 times a week), thats great! Do remember that your bodies need a lot of rest and sleep to recover from working out hard, so…. please remember to sleep and rest.

For those who have not lost weight. Do not despair! Please allow me to go into a little bit on this:

To healthily lose weight, you should

1. Increase Muscle weight
2. Lose Fat weight

By increasing muscle mass, you’d have a stronger and more functional body (based on the exercises that we do), and it will also increase your metabolism.

Increasing metabolism helps you to burn fat while you’re resting, eating and even sleeping! You’ll also burn more calories when you’re exercising.

As we increase our muscle mass, our weight may increase – this is healthy and good.

To see a weight loss, you will need to burn Fat weight – if the fat loss is greater than the increase in muscle mass, you will see a net weight loss.

There are many instances that the muscle weight increase as much as the loss in fat – which in turn shows NO CHANGE in weight.

For example:

Muscle increase by 10kg
Fat decrease by 10kg

Your weight will remain the same, your strength and endurance have increased (this is great!) but your fat content would have gone down by 10kgs!

How should you measure Fat Loss?

Based on the above, the personal trainers at Team Fitness Guru always go for the:

1. Reduction of inches  in your waist and  hips instead of the change in number on your weighing scale.
   For men, you should use your belt as a gauge.
2. The drop in shirt/ dress size.
3. The before and after photo
4. The comments and remarks from friends, family members (they may not notice this if they see you everyday) or people who you’ve not met for a long time.

How should you measure success after every week?

Besides the numbers, we also know that regular physical activity promotes holistic wellness

1. More energy (Yes now you know that exercise creates energy!)
2. Improve mental health – reduce stress, boost confidence
3. A feeling of happiness! – Exercise releases endorphins (happy hormones)
4. Improvement in your sleep
5. Increase in fitness levels – cardio, strength, flexibility, balance, function, agility, etc (Some of you are able to climb up staircase all the way up easily now!)
6. Increase in bone density (reduce the chances of arthritis) – by doing the modified weight bearing exercises
7. Improve body chemistry – cleans your arteries of fatty plaque deposits (LDL) & halves the level of insulin (lowers the chances of diabetes)
8. Improve internal mechanisms – Our bodies also process carbohydrates more efficiently, this in turn stabilises your blood sugar so that you will less likely to be hungry but rather have more energy

For those who REALLY, REALLY need to see the weight loss as measured by the weighing scale.

You get all the benefits above by being in the programme, plus the ability to make exercising as a lifestyle beyond these three months.

But if you’re really looking at weight loss and not seeing it on your scale, and you’re unhappy about it -
DO A REFLECTION.

1. EXERCISE (Caloric Expenditure)
   Have I exercised enough in a week as prescribed by the trainers?
   5 times a week is recommended, if not, go for 3 or 4
   Are you training hard enough? – Ensure that you’re working at a level that is of a *slight* discomfort
2. FOOD (Caloric Intake)
   Have I lowered my food intake?
   Am I eating the right things?
   Am I still eating after 7pm?

Always check and balance. Correct your lifestyle habits and find solutions.
NEVER, EVER GIVE UP.

Assignment 3

A lot of us set goals and work very hard for the first few weeks and then it fizzles after that. We need to tap the power of our brains to push us and endure in the pursuit of our goals. One of the strategies is to list down our motivators.

We’re all driven by these two motivators.

Why do you want to lose fat and gain fitness?

(A) To avoid pain (fear of failure)
(B) To gain pleasure (promise of reward)

List them down and check back here whenever you’re feeling down and have a reduction of enthusiasm!

____________________________________________________

Let’s increase the momentum and push forward – together!
Do remember to go for a fun physical activity at least 2 or 3 more times in a week and eat *Not* to the point that you’re full. Stop earlier.

You’ve already the knowledge on how to achieve your goals effective and efficiently.

You must now Take MASSIVE ACTION towards your goals.

GREAT THINGS TO DO

(A) Your Activity List

1) Do two or three more 30 minutes session by yourself or with your friends. If cannot afford twice, then do one more time.  Play sports, go for a brisk walk, do bodyweight exercises, climb up staircase, etc. Just move!

2) Cut back your food consumption by another 10%. Which means, you should be eating 81% of your normal food consumption prior to session one of bootcamp. Throw or give the other 19% away. You should not be wasting the ‘extra’ food in your body – it’ll just be converted to fat if you don’t burn it away.

(B) Your Online Homework
(this is homework #2, please do #1 if you’ve not done so)

FITNESS PROGRAMME ANALYSIS

1) Write down the strengths and benefits of your exercise programme (Lose To Win programme and Your own workout).

- The benefits of exercising (Other than weight loss) – think of other areas in your life (eg social, confidence, health, energy, business, family, medical costs, etc)
- The strength of group training
- The advantage of working with professional trainers

2) Write down the weaknesses of your fitness programme. Als0 include what problems that may stop you from achieving your fitness dream now?

- The negativities of exercising
- The obstacles that’ll be in your way to going for Fitness Bootcamp and your own exercises
- The obstacles that will stop you from eating 10% less and healthy food.

3) What are the solutions to (2) the weaknesses that you listed down. For negativities, do benefits outweigh costs? If so why?

4) Tell us how many kilos you’ve shed so far!

Looking forward to reading your analysis. Let’s share and find solutions for each other!

Please sign off with your Name, Team (West or East Side) and Company name (not Alpha or Bravo, but your ‘workplace’ company )

Thank you and live healthy. You should have a total of 4 to 5 physical activity sessions in a week, and enjoying them all.

Take care!

With lots and lots of love,

Sharm’s thoughts on the 2nd workout

• For beginners
  • Do 5 repetitions each
  • For the tougher exercises, you may want to modify it accordingly – for instance Decline push ups – Do modified (knees on the floor) exercises instead.
• For advanced
  • 10 repetitions each
  • If you do not have Kettlebells, use dumbells instead. Remember to keep your back straight and chest up – check your posture.

Have a great TT workout!

While most of those who attend our fitness bootcamp want to lose weight (fat), there are those who want to gain weight. Here’s Corey Ritter (Personal Trainer from Atlanta, USA) explaining some basic but powerful principles that you can start employing in your daily lives in order to gain weight.

Copy and paste this into your notebook – these are the things you need to do to increase body weight.

1. Increasing your lean protein intake – 1 to 2 servings of protein – 1gm of protein per pound of bodyweight
2. Increase resistance in your weight training – 8 to 12 reps max
3. Increase workout drink during and after your workout
4. Have at least 8 hours of sleep a day – your body needs to rebuild, repair and regenerate.

In addition to Corey’s advice, you’ll also need to exercise correctly too.

Here’s my recommendations:

Basically, you’ll need to have a positive caloric intake -> the calories that you consume must be more than what you expend. As you’ll need to exercise to build the muscles at the right places, that means your enery expenditure will be higher – hence you’ll need to eat more in order to gain weight.

1. Do compound type of exercises that hit your large muscle groups
   - Push Ups (For beginners) (Chest, Triceps & some shoulder)
   - Chest Press (Chest and Triceps)
   - Shoulder Press (Shoulders and Triceps)
   - Back Row (Back and Biceps)
   - Squats (Butt, quadriceps, hamstrings, abs and back)
2. Get a personal trainer or a workout buddy to ensure that your exercises are performed properly
3. Have 5 moderate size meals a day (don’t overdo it – excess calories will just increase your fat level – you’ll want to put the weight at the right places), and ensure you have 2 servings of proteins (basic building blocks of protein) and vegetables (for essential vitamins and nutrients) at least thrice a day.
4. Write a food journal – it’ll help you track your food intake and a great reflection tool.

Have fun!

Workout effeciently when you’re at the gym. Personal trainer Ron Jett shows how to execute compound exercises that will work a lot of your muscles at the same time effectively.

Sidetrack: Here in Singapore, a lot of trainers are very professional when they’re training their clients – always checking for your proper form when you’re doing your workouts. There are also many trainers who text when their clients are performing the worouts (ouch). Some sit, and look from a distance (what?!). A trainer should always have 100% attention on the client. Correcting and checking for perfect, safe and effective form when the client is doing his exercise.

Check out how Ron Jett from Heritage College delivers his message across to the audience. Clear, concise and always bearing in mind the safety aspects of the exercise. I like the fact that he is calm and excellent with his method of instruction. He shows you how you can maximise the benefits from your workout.

Fitness seekers,

Here’s what he will be touching on:

Work your body work as many different ways at the same time – Use stability ball

• Train Balance and stability in addition to working the primary movers

Basic Exercise:

• Seated Dumbell shoulder press on a stability ball
• Chest Press on a stability ball

Progression:

• Seated Dumbell shoulder press on a stability ball
• Alternating
• Single

• Chest Press on a stability ball
• Alternating
• Single

Other Important Exercises

• Abdominals – Basic abs crunch
• Lower body – Wall Ball Squat

Enjoy your workout
