A Moment with Coach Wes

July 3, 2017realadmin_adminTestimonial

Our much-adored Coach Wes has been in the industry for 14 years now and to say health and fitness is his passion would be an understatement. Wes lives and breathes health, he practices what he preaches day in and day out and with as much passion and enthusiasm as the day he started his journey.

 

Wes completed his studies and began working in the industry 14 years ago at Fitness First, Castle Towers. His career has been a successful one working as a personal trainer and health coach and helping his clients achieve their goals. His interest grew after reading a number of articles on different health and fitness topics, in particular technique and strength training. Once his knowledge grew so did his passion.

 

Wes says the difference in his lifestyle changes since 2004 has been more emphasis on training for a purpose; his focus on detail is commendable however that started when he studied more into effective ways of training. Programming for himself has seen great results and has increased his focus even more (if that is possible). Nutrition has come a long way since the beginning. His focus on macronutrients has seen and helped him achieve his particular fitness goals with a healthier and more wholesome approach to food and the benefits of following macros. More recently in the past 12mths Wes has cut gluten from his diet and in the last 3mths has cut dairy. His awareness for healthier alternatives has heightened and choosing the better options rather than the easier options has helped his “gut” health immensely. “Instead of wheat based pasta I will now opt. for quinoa based pasta. That includes milk as well which I have recently moved away from and towards macadamia milk or almond milk or even coconut based yoghurts. For personal reasons as well as health reasons.”

 

When asked what his number one health tip was, Wes’s answer was simple. Consistency. FULL STOP. “Consistency is key and I will never change my answer for that particular question. So many people ask and I keep telling them the same answer. Week in week out people or society in general are looking for a “quick fix” something “easy” but what they are forgetting is that the time it took for their bodies to get this way or for their health to be where it is, to the point where they realise it is time to fix it and do something about it!! It just doesn’t work like that.” As Wes is explaining his point nothing but passion and energy is coming across, it is so good to see him in his element and the elated expression on his face. “The smallest thing can derail someone’s focus and determination and that is what we need to learn to push past and stay consistent!”

 

 

Wes enjoys a H.I.I.T style of training for his clients to help them achieve their goals. His passion is with strength training however he says the method behind high intensity interval training is proven to be more effective at fat burning and helps mobilise the fat cells in the blood stream. It is a great tool to use and when used correctly and combined with strength training the results speak for themselves.

 

To catch Coach Wes in his element his class is on Monday nights at 6:30pm. Which of course is a hard hitting H.I.I.T class.

HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔 Being aware and mo HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔

Being aware and more present with our daily nutrition seems to be less and less common. What are some ways we can become more aware of what we eat?

1. Set an intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the day? Tired and lethargic? Or strong & healthy? If the answer is strong & healthy than packaged foods and sugar aren’t going to get you there.

2. Track your food. In order to become more aware we need to understand the calories that are coming in. By tracking your food you can understand what your food is made up of in terms of nutrient value.

3. Where your focus goes your energy will flow. Focus on consuming less processed more whole foods. Less alcohol more water. Increase your protein intake and your sugar consumption will naturally drop off. 

Combining these three things when deciding on meals for the day or week, writing a shopping list or when you are eating out with friends. These simple and very achievable guidelines will help you become more mindful and back on track after the festive season.

HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION With HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION

With the weight loss industry promoting new diets almost weekly that will shed fat, increase muscle mass, put you into ketosis, detox your organs, improve your physical performance and leave you feeling energised... But only if you exclude certain macronutrients, food groups or just eat meat and animal products only...?
It can be easy to see why people feel confused and lost when it comes to figuring out what they should eat. Today I am going to break it down into the 3 most important takeaways that will get you started on a healthy, balanced path:

1. Calories in VS calories out will always be top priority 🍉: if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will increase and the inverse is true. Your goals will discern how much or how little you should be eating but by complying with your calorie limit, you will achieve the result you are after
2. Protein Protein Protein 🥩: we talk about it all the time but it is seriously one of the most neglected macronutrients even though it provides the most benefit by far. Protein not only resynthesises muscle which promotes growth (therefore increasing our caloric demand meaning we can eat more) but it also increases satiety, meaning when you consume enough protein, you don’t feel as hungry for the snacks or sweets that will derail you long term 
3. 80:20 Rule🍔: this one is my personal favourite and where most people get stuck. If eating 1 burger on a Saturday night with some friends is what helps you stick to your nutrition plan for the rest of the week, eat the burger. When we don’t allow ourselves to indulge in the things we love every now and then, we inevitably experience burnout and give up entirely. Just remember 80% whole food: 20% soul food.
