I see customers walk into my Pilates classes who are aerobically fit from high-performance badminton, running or tennis but can&#8217;t touch their toes. \u00a0I see beautifully bendy stretch yoga bodies but their lower back is achy and sore because they have overextended over a long\u00a0period of time. \u00a0The secret to great performance is to alter your workouts.<\/p>\n<p>You will get fitter and stronger not by working harder but by varying your workouts across a spectrum of exercises.<\/p>\n<p>The three platforms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Cardio\u00a0&#8211; getting out of breath for at least 20 minutes.It takes at least 20minutes to get the fat burning going in your body and burning aerobically so anything less isn&#8217;t working<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Weight Bearing Exercise &#8211; women in particular need weight-bearing exercise and women of a &#8216;certain age&#8217; need weight-bearing exercise EVEN MORE. \u00a0Not only do you need it for your muscle tone which supports your skeleton frame but also for your muscle strength. \u00a0Pick up your weights ladies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">PILATES &#8211; obviously\u00a0I would say that. \u00a0Pilates is THE platform for everything you do from swinging a tennis racket to swimming or walking. \u00a0Pilates helps your back to be strong, corrects your posture and prevents injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Better Health - 3 things you need to know\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ROs3jLaUPeM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #eb1950;\">Nutrition &#8211; your food choices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Eating fewer carbohydrates and eat more protein and fats is the key to easy healthy success. \u00a0Dietary advice and science are changing. \u00a0 With the help of key medical journalists and researchers like Gary Taubes, Nina Teicholz\u00a0and of course our own Michael Mosely, attitudes towards fats and sugar are developing. \u00a0Losing weight and maintaining a healthy heart\u00a0is becoming simpler and more straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>To explain where we are now we have to consider where<\/p>\n<p>It all began&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In the 1950s two scientists were battling it out for &#8216;nutritional&#8217; supremacy<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #eb1950;\">Yudkin<\/span> a UK-based scientist from University College London was researching the concept that sugar and carbohydrates as sugars were making the nation fatter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #eb1950;\">Vrs<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #eb1950;\">Keys<\/span> a USA\u00a0based scientist was louder more charismatic and had the ear of President Eisenhower was proving to his satisfaction that FATS were causing heart and health issues. \u00a0His study was based on the infamous &#8216;7 country study&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>At the time Key&#8217;s charismatic arguments won the day, and now in hindsight, we can disprove his theories and we have been left with a hangover of out of date science.<\/p>\n<p>In summary Key&#8217;s original study was flawed, it omitted\u00a0huge fat eating countries like Germany and France. \u00a0Their heart disease and obesity levels are nowhere near the USA and these countries eat fats, saturated fats.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #eb1950;\">Counting Calories is a myth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Who has time to count calories or even add in every entry of food into an iPhone app? \u00a0If you have a job, a family, your valuable time and mental energy on weight, measuring and obsessing about what you eat.
