The wedding season is upon us and the call are coming in for personal training sessions to make sure both brides and grooms are fit for their weddings. Nothing is more motivational than weddings to get people fit and toned. Statements like ‘I’ve been measured for my wedding dress and can’t put on any weight now, help’, ‘I must remove my beer belly by the big day’ and ‘my arms must be toned because I’ve bought a sleeveless and strapless wedding dress’. These have all been mentioned in the past month alone. Its amazing how much you can achieve, especially with toning in just a few short weeks. Its not too late to achieve the your desired results. HomeHealth Fitness have a couple of wedding specific training programmes that can be tailored to the individual and produce guaranteed results.

Guaranteed weight loss, tip 1, in detail

After some important but vague ways to loseweight, below are some details for the 1st tip, increase your heart rate above 100 beats per minute for 45 minutes per day. The good thing about this goal is that you need not get all sweaty in doing so. Therefore, walking the first 30 minutes of your daily commute becomes a possibility. Then with a little walk the other end you have completed your exercise for the day without too much special effort. That is not to say that a specialist exercise session for 45 minutes is not a good idea, it is, and is in fact better. Another idea, with the weather improving is cycling to work. Again, there is no need to race there, a nice cycle in the morning will wake you up, save you money, and be your exercise for the day. The final easy to implement idea is a walk after work in the evening. With lighter evenings this becomes more appealing. Most people have a chat on their mobiles to friends for at least 30 minutes every evening. Instead of doing this sat on a sofa, get up and go out, ‘walk while you talk’ before you know it you have done some exercise.

This group of muscles at the front of the thigh that arises in the hip and pelvis and inserts as a strong tendon below the kneecap (patella). The quadriceps straightens and helps stabilize the knee. It is the great extensor muscle of the knee, forming a large fleshy mass which covers the front and sides of the femur. It is the strongest and leanest muscle in the human body.

Exercise for the less able bodied

Communication the the key to training the less able bodied. Discuss exercises types fully before attempting them, make sure you have fully considered the area in which the exercises are completed. Plan for any falls, so how you might get them from the floor back to a comfortable position for example. Be very positive, only in the most severe cases can no exercise be completed at all, its just a matter of slightly adjusting exercise to accommodate the individual. Any movement is better than none, some of it may have to be assisted by the trainer (best use therabands or dynobands). Boxing for example can be very effective from a seated position. Adjust, communicate and be positive. Feel free to call Michael – HomeHealth Fitness, with any further questions on 07980 545324.

Either of the two large flat triangular muscles that run from the back of the neck and cover each shoulder. They help to move the shoulder blades and draw the head backward. The trapezius muscle has several other functions:
to move the shoulder blade in toward the spine, to rotate the shoulder blade so that the topmost part of the upper arm faces up, to move the shoulder blade up and down, to bring the head and neck in a backward direction, to rotate and side bend the neck and to assist in breathing. A common exercise for the Trapezius muscle is the seated row.
