| Want to lose weight and tone up |
but don't know where to start? |
| In basic terms, in order to reduce fat and lose weight you need to consume fewer calories than your body needs to maintain weight. It is a common mistake however, to think skipping meals is an effective way of reducing calories and therefore achieving weight loss. In fact, quite the opposite! Missing meals reduces your metabolic rate and allows blood sugar levels to drop, which in turn reduces your energy levels. To combat this, at PureTrain we recommend that you eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day to reduce hunger and speed up your metabolism. To maximise your weight loss, the combination of a healthy diet, dietary supplementation and |
| an effective exercise regime is vital. This will give you faster and more sustainable results than diet or exercise alone. We have therefore created an easy to follow PureTrain Healthy Eating Plan that tells you what to eat and the optimum times at which to eat throughout the day. Simple Tips: When trying to reduce fat and lose weight aim to keep your carbohydrate intake low (ie fruit, vegetables, alcohol etc) whilst keeping your protein intake up (ie most meats, skimmed milk etc). It is also important to drink sufficient water regularly throughout the day to stay healthy and maximise your fitness regimes results. |
| Using dietary supplementation as part of a daily fitness regime can help increase performance by aiding in areas such as muscle development, increasing endurance and reducing recovery times. There are many products available, so at PureTrain we have made it easy by identifying the five key dietary supplements that have been proven to enhance personal fitness and performance. By referring to the PureTrain Healthy Eating Plan you can visually see exactly which PureTrain dietary supplements to use and at what time of the day to use them in order to maximise your training results. |
| It's as simple as remembering 123... For further information about any of the recommended supplements please go to "Why Use Dietary Supplements" You will find helpful advice on what these supplements are and how they can help when used properly during training. For example: It has been shown that using a supplement such as PureTrain Whey Protein not only preserves muscle when dieting but you'll suffer less from hunger and reach your weight loss goals more easily. |
| It is important that regular exercise becomes an integral part of your day to day life if you want to achieve your health and physical fitness goals in the short term and be able to sustain them throughout a lifetime of fitness. At PureTrain we have worked closely with Dominic Marsh, a professional Personal Trainer to develop the highly successful PureTrain Training Programme to help you lose weight and tone up. Muscle is metabolically active, ie it burns calories - even when you are inactive! If you lose muscle, your body demands less calories, hence your weight loss is harder. The best way to preserve muscle and give your body that attractive honed look is to train in the gym with weights following a routine based on a 2 week cycle of 3x60 minute training sessions a week, alternating |
| between heavy and light weeks. By rotating in this way you work on different muscle groups in each session depending on where you are in the training cycle, maximising muscle growth and therefore your fat loss and fitness gains. Additionally in the evenings, we recommend doing a high intensity aerobic session (ie skipping or cycling) 2 hours after your last meal for 20 minutes to increase calories burnt therefore increasing fat loss. Note: It may be tempting to try to lift heavy every time you train but it is impossible to push every muscle group to its maximum in every session. It is also important to leave at least a day between each training session as the body builds new muscle tissue when you rest, not when you are in the gym! |
