Women Power, seeing is believing !!

Friends,

Seen video is one of the members of Gmaxx Fitness, one of the clubs which we undertake management for training and sales.

Her age is 51 and she is squating 135lbs with 10 reps, absolutely amazing, she is capable of 160lbs plus, but did not have good prework out meal, which is very important especially if you are training legs.

Working with EDS as a senior project manager, says that I feel like Iam 30, all my knee problems are vanished and have lost 6 kgs FAT in 2.5 months at this age.

Friends, this is the beauty of weight training which is always misunderstood by women.

Great going...!

Sports and Fitness - Must read blog !!


"Sania Practicing Kickboxing"

Many times it is misunderstood by common man for sports as fitness.

Playing badminton, TT, cricket, tennis etc is being taken granted for fitness and expecting a miracle result, like weight loss or may be fat loss.
I would certainly say that any one involved in any kind of sports will never get the desired results until and unless they are associated with fitness.
How??

Over a period of 10 years of mentoring in fitness have seen that people who play badminton or tennis for instance just to maintain fitness, surprisingly come with a complaint of severe knee pain or hip joint pain?? If a sporting activity is used for fitness why such complaints then ?
Well, sports is not used for fitness, its other way round, fitness is necessary for sports.
People who are associated with tennis or any ground sports should workout with weights to avoid knee injury. Infact I know people who have been playing ground sports over years and have replaced knee joint.
Any sporting activities were start and stop action is there won’t allow you for best fitness levels, you need to take consideration of max heart rate (MHR) to increase your stamina or your fitness levels.

Weight training and stretching is very important and to have good conditioning does help a lot in playing tennis says Rafeal Nadal (Worlds no 1 tennis player)

All professional players spend different time for sport specific training (exercise) to get best and avoid injuries.

At last, I also insist that diet is key, if you still eat traditional Indian breakfast and typical Indian diet after any sporting event, Iam sorry to say you will never achieve best fitness levels. Sports nutrition is must.

So guys, who are associated with sports, pull up your socks and be ready to lift weights to show your best in the field of sports.
