Why yoga is helping millions…

February 1, 2017realadmin_adminMovement

Yoga is a type of movement, which involves body awareness through different poses and breathing. Through this, it creates a sense of relaxation and calmness. Yoga is not just for people looking to increase their flexibility, it is literally for everyone. No matter who you are, you can receive benefits of completing regular yoga whether it’s health benefits such as lowered blood pressure or mental benefits such as relaxation.

One thing that may be preventing people from coming is preconceived ideas about what yoga is really about. That yoga is only for flexible people or that it’s only for women or even, that it’s only a young persons exercise. But once you go to one session you will realise that this is not the truth. That yoga is literally for everyone, of any age. Learning the poses may seem tricky at first but once you practice you will find it easy and the meditation involved in yoga will leave you feeling relaxed like never before. Once you see the benefits and reduction in stress for yourself you will be hooked!

In life everyone has a certain amount of stress and sometimes it can overload us. This stress usually cannot be avoided but what can be changed is the way you deal with this stress. Yoga is the perfect way to do this. A study completed by the University of Utah concluded that those who completed regular yoga were more capable of dealing with pain and stress overall. A German study completed in 2005 also provided evidence for the health benefits of yoga. In the study those who completed yoga reported they felt lowered levels of stress, depression and anxiety after just 2 yoga classes a week for 90 days!

Yoga has physical benefits which include:

  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Decreased heart rate
  • Increased flexibility
  • Improved endurance
  • Lowered cortisol
  • Reduction in tension

All these benefits aid in providing lowered stress levels when completed regularly. Yoga also helps to create a sense of mindfulness and can easily put whoever completes it into a good mood. A reduction in stress leads to greater productivity, improved sleep patterns and a general happiness with life.

🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your 🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your meals🥬

Fruits and vegetables pose many health benefits and play a crucial role to living a healthy lifestyle. It is essential that we are adding plant matter to all of our meals because;

🍆They provide colour and texture and make the food we are eating more appealing.
🥦Fruits and vegetables are convenient and are quick and easy to eat.
🍉Plant matter contains high amounts of fibre which helps keep us fuller for longer and keeps our digestive system happy.
🍌Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories which is of more benefit to us as they are nutritionally rich but low in calories.
🌱Plant matter foods contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals which help us stay energised and feel good.
✅Eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce your risk of lifestyle diseases.

So start of by adding some greens first to your meals with some fruits in between should help in increasing your plant matter intake and watch you start reaping the benefits.

LEGEND OF THE WEEK Congratulations to this super LEGEND OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to this super star 🌟 Joanna B! 
Joanna joined our community a little under 3 months ago, armed with some big strength goals; including performing a bodyweight chin up. This has been the jumping off point for her training plan in which she completes:
3x PT 🏋🏻‍♀️
2-3x Sweat 🏃🏻‍♀️
Having never lifted a weight before coming to RFT, in the last week Joanna performed a:
• 50kg back squat for 8 reps
• 60kg deadlift for 6 reps
In under 3 months! This is largely due to her get in and get after it mentality; her determination and curiosity about what her body can do is unmatched and makes her a genuine delight to train.

Aside from that, Joanna brings such a warm and kind energy into the gym that is appreciated by all the staff and members, and makes us proud to have you as part of our gym, so thank you Joanna!
And congratulations to this Legend! 🌟🏋🏼‍♀️🤩

What’s The Most Important Part Of Your Training What’s The Most Important Part Of Your Training Plan?

Strength or Sweat? 🏋🏼💦
Yoga or Run? 🧘🏼‍♂️🏃🏼
Small daily walks or long walks a few times a week? 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚶 

Everyone wants to know what their training plan should look like to give the best possible outcome! ✅ It’s great to be excited about training initially but over planning and underperforming will only lead to disappointment and reduce motivation! 

The truth is that the best training plan is the one you are compliant to!

COMPLIANCE always wins! 🥇 

There’s no point in planning to strength train 5x a week and run 4x a week when realistically you will only fit 3x strength and 2x runs in a regular week! 🗒 

Trying to do too much of one thing and failing to do so can cause a spiral where you just don’t do anything or do even less than you should’ve! ❌

Stick to the plan laid out by your coach, trust the process and stay COMPLIANT for the best outcomes for your health and training!
