TRAINING TIPS

TRAINING TIPS FOR EVERYONE
Here are a few tips that are suitable for all of you!

• TRAIN FOR YOUR BODYTYPE - find what works for you!
• A combination of resistance + cardio training works best!
• You grow and repair on your non-training days, so get lots of rest!
• Consistency is the key! Choose a routine that works for you and stick to it!
• Be sure to change your exercise routine every 8 weeks, so that your body does not become accustomed to the exercises. You need to shock your body to get results.
• Diet & supplements play an important role in a training regime, whatever you are training for.

EXERCISES DURING PREGNANCY

As a rule, every woman should consult with her GP whilst pregnant and either continuing or commencing an exercise program as we all fall under different health status and circumstances.

If you are a healthy mum-to-be, you can participate in any exercise routine you were involved in before falling pregnant, but are warned that this is not the time to commence or take up a new sport or fitness routine, unless it is light walking, swimming or supervised Yoga.

Regular exercise during pregnancy can prepare your body for labour and the demands of a new baby. Pelvic floor exercises are especially beneficial.

Benefits of exercise during pregnancy include:

• resistance to fatigue,
• stronger back muscles,
• preparation for physical demands of labour ,
• improved posture,
• stress relief,
• faster recovery after labour,
• smaller gain of body fat,
• improved sleep patterns.

One of the most common reports from the medical profession about pregnant women is that they may not realise when their core body temperature rises, they may not feel hot or dehydrated, but they may very well be.
When exercising, pregnant women should avoid lifting heavy weights, must wear lose fitted clothing and must be able to maintain a conversation when exercising. They should also drink lots of water, try to stay out of the sun and listen to her body!!

Female Fitness Model Sherry Boudreau

 

Certified Personal Trainer/Aerobics Instructor

Biography:
 
I am a lifetime natural athlete, born in Victoria, BC. I lived in Richmond, BC up until 1982 and then I moved to Pender Harbour, BC (Sunshine Coast) After graduation, I moved to the Lower Mainland and completed my degree in Cosmetology. Just a few short years after I became certified in aerobics and weight training. My most recent accomplishment is becoming a BCRPA certifed personal trainer and certified Zone Planner for Fitness World.
 
I am currently in the process of writing a book about my entire life called "Start Today, Tomorrow Never Comes". This book is going to be dedicated to my children and the people who believed in me. However, don't hold your breath for the book to be released anytime soon as I have had a very interesting life so far and there is much more to add to it. I can assure you that it will inspire and motivate anyone that reads it!
I decided to start competing after my second child and after each category I experienced, my fitness friends would introduce me to another. I love the challenge and work involved in maintaining a healthy, fit and positive lifestyle.
 
In 2003, I went down to Austin, Texas to be trained by my new trainer and now good friend, Dave Goodin.  He has won many titles and is also a WNBF Pro bodybuilder.  He educated me so well that when I returned back to Canada in July 2003 I was able to share my experience and knowledge with Fitness World members and staff and move up to the next level of my career.
 
I believe you have to go after your dreams and goals and live life to the fullest. I want to teach my children to do the same as well as teach them that you can do anything your heart desires if you make an honest effort and stay positive along the journey even if it gets bumpy.

Natalie Minh, Another Look

Here's another look at the lovely WNSO FAME Euro Fitness Model Champion, Natalie Minh.
This Vietnamese-American fitness competitor seemed pretty popular last time, so I thought another picture wouldn't hurt any.

Despite coming in 1st Place in the Ms. Bikini division at the 2008 Muscle Mania/Fitness Universe Italian Championships, winning 1st Place Fitness Model, and 2nd place Bikini Model at the 2008 FAME European Championships and 3rd Place Swimsuit in the swimsuit division at the 2008 FAME World Championships, this lady is way more than just a pretty face.
She is a a Structured Finance Analyst for a Fortune 100 financial services company, she has a a BBA with dual major in Management Information Systems and Management, a MS in Finance, and a MBA, all from the University of Michigan.
AND she was a UNIX Systems Administrator specializing in CAD/CAE environments for six years.
To paraphrase Monty Python, "She could think you under the table!".
