David Flynn, master PT at Bayswater 24/7 fitness, rugby league player 20+ years rugby league coach 5+ years, group trainer & PT 5+ years tells us more about the NEWFIT programs ...

"I am proud & excited to launch our brand new,  functional classes NEWFIT, this is a totally original concept I have designed from the ground up to be a constantly progressing results based program covering all fitness levels from absolute beginner to advanced athlete. It's designed to be functional, efficient & above all fun! We utilise our newly renovated functional class space with various floor markings & stations that cover a huge range of exercises & movements in a results based program. NEWFIT truly has something for everyone

NEWFIT will be an additional cost to membership as it is designed to be Small Group Training with an emphasis on results and personalised attention. Perfect for anyone seeking more individualised attention than they can receive in large group fitness classes. It's also a good addition to anyone currently using a Personal Trainer.   

Strength training – Are you trying to build muscle and getting no-where?

               As Felicity explains, it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it!

Technique- do not let your ego dictate how much you lift. Striving to get a personal best is one thing, but just paying attention to the numbers and no attention to form is a recipe for disaster. That’s an injury that WILL happen.

Whenever you are training for strength and conditioning, always try to understand what is that you’re trying to achieve by a particular movement. Your body is a system of levers.  The job of a muscle is to make the angle of a joint smaller – ie. pull two bones together. Therefore the object of an exercise on the weights floor is not so much to do with moving the dumbbell or barbell as it is about closing that gap between the bones.

See in the illustration below how the angle of the elbow joint lessens in a bicep curl- the forearm bones and the upper arm bones are pulled together by the muscle.

The upper arm remains static and the forearm moves to complete the action.

Too many people think strength training is all about moving the weight and forget that it is about contracting the muscle. This leads to the mindset of getting the weigh from point A to point B any way they can and using every muscle possible and momentum to assist. These are the people who are prone to injury and never seem to change their body shape. This is just one of our articles on strength and conditioning – stay tuned for more
