Days/Times etc to be confirmed depending on interest - all ages and abilities would be welcome

In order to lose body fat there has to be a reason as to why we want to achieve this, is it to make you look good, for health benefits such as reducing heart disease and lowering cholesterol or for a holiday or competition for example.

There are tons of reasons why we choose to get to low body fat, but to achieve your goal in a half-arsed fashion will not work!
Remember that the body likes to be at a stable point of body fat and will do everything it can to maintain this balance by slowing the metabolism down, or by holding body fat and using muscle tissue, the body is extremely clever and it has evolved over thousands of years, so were not going to trick it into changing over night

You have to take action and plan your life around wanting to change! Your aim/goal must be clear, precise and measurable with clear reason as to why you want to achieve it.

Set a start date and use your friends and family as support by informing them of your new goal. You will need the support from the other people whilst you are embarking on this new journey. It is not always easy to achieve a low body fat percentage and you must be 100% committed to your aim.

Dear All,

1st March, spring it on it's way and I remain ever hopeful, that as we have had such a long slog of bad weather, we will have a long hot summer (my pint glass is always half full...).

I hope that you are all doing well and are striving to be the healthiest person you can be. If the answer to this is "no", don't fear, as with "Red Nose Day" just around the corner, I have devised a little plan/fit test that EVERYONE can take part in. No matter what our age or ability.

Why wait to feel and look great, start today and book yourself in for a FREE Personal Assessment and Trial Session, either in the comfort of your own home or at your place of work. Don't fancy doing this alone, why not pair up with a partner or buddy and take advantage of my new couples rates and share the costs.....

Exercise:

Red Nose Day Fit Test…

Red nose day is almost upon us again, and as you can see from my latest posts on Facebook, health and fitness is at the forefront of the nation’s medias.

So with this in mind, I have devised a little fit test for you. There are 13 exercises in total, at a minute a piece, with the idea that you are to complete as many of each as possible in the allotted time of 13 minutes!! You need to do this every day from 1st to 15th of March. Record your results and post them back on here, either each day or with your final scores, click here to print off you score card sheet. Don't forget to record your results by downloading my "Fit-Test score card, and email your scores back.

You do not have to raise money, but it can be just for fun and giggles, health and inquisitiveness and can be done on your own or with a partner or friends. If however you do feel like raising a few pennies for Red Nose Day, then I would suggest that for every extra exercise you accomplish throughout the 2 weeks, you put between 10p-£1 in a pot and donate it at the end of the 2 weeks.

Watch your results and see how an extra 13 minutes of exercise a day makes a diffirence, this can't be a bad thing. For this Fit Test, you will need a kitchen chair, an exercise matt of sorts (to lay on), some space and of course your "wonderful' selves"!

Get yourself onto the "Exercise and Recipes" page and have a good look.

Whether your already ahead of the exercise game or whether your a beginner, the mini test I have designed will only take you 13 minutes. It has been designed for everyone from beginners to the more advanced.
Work when you can, take rest when you need it and try to push yourself outside your comfort zone and work to your limits.

Try it for two weeks, record your results daily (videos welcome) and post them back by clicking here... More routines added regularly! Don't forget to download your "Fit Test Score Card" from www.soultrainer.net

With personal training starting from £35 a session, there's nothing to loose and everything to gain....I hope to see you soon.

Cutting fat from your diet

Hands up who’s ever checked a packet and then rejected your food choice based on the fat content? If you’ve ever been on a diet, we’re guessing your hand is probably up.

For many dieters, fat seems like the ultimate enemy. However, opting for low fat products can be much more of a diet disaster than opting for those that contain moderate amounts of fat.

Watch your results and see how an extra 13 minuets a day cant be a bad thing.
For this Fit Test, you will need
A kitchen chair, an exercise matt (of sorts/to lay on), some space and of course your wonderful’selfs!

FIT TEST
1: Jog on the Spot
This is to warm up the muscles and to prepare your body for the exercise to come
2: Double Leg Sit to Stand
Starting in a seated position (on your chair), your feet off the floor and your hands strait above your head and stand before going strait back into the start position.
3: Single Leg Sit to Stand (Right Leg)
This is similar to the above move, however your hands are by your side (not to touch ANYTHING) and your left leg is to remain off the floor. You can use your arms for momentum only. Come to a full stand before sitting back down (keeping your remaining foot off the floor) and starting again. (Modification: Place the tip-toes of your left foot on the floor, this should make the move easier)
4: Single Leg Sit to Stand (Left Leg)
This is similar to the above move, however your hands are by your side (not to touch ANYTHING) and your Right leg is to remain off the floor. You can use your arms for momentum only. Come to a full stand before sitting back down (keeping your remaining foot off the floor) and starting again. (Modification: Place the tip-toes of your Right foot on the floor, this should make the move easier)
5: Squat Jump
Stand up straight with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes following your knees. Bring your arms loosely to your sides. Squat down as deep as comfortable by bending your knees and reaching your hips back as if to sit down in a chair behind you. Throw your arms up as you jump in the air as high as you can. Land softly in the same spot you jumped from. Bend your knees as you land so as not to hurt your knee joints. Drop your arms as you land and repeat. (Modification remove the jump and perform squats)
6: Push-Up/Press-Up
Chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, your feet together and parallel to each other. Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under. Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor. Keep your palms fixed at the same position and keep your body straightens. Try not to bend or arch your upper or lower back as you push up. Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position. Keep body straight and feet together until back to the start position and repeat. (Modification perform this on your knees.)
7: Burpee
Stand with your feet hip width apart. Extend your arms and hands to the floor and quickly jump out kicking your legs out behind you while supporting your body on your arms and land in a push-up start position. Jump your feet back to your chest. Pull your knees to your chest and plant your feet under you. Jump up. Push off the ground with your hands and simultaneously quickly jump to a standing position. (Modification, remove the last jump)
8: High Knee
Run on the spot with short, quick bursts, pumping your knees into the air as near to your chest as possible flexing your hip, knee and foot. Keep your chest up, pump your arms and land on the balls of your feet. (Modification jog on the spot)
9: Split Lunge
Stand with one foot forward and one leg back. Both feet should be facing straight ahead. Your front foot should be flat on the ground and your knee should be bent slightly in front of your ankle in line with your shoelaces. Your back heel can rise of the ground. Your torso should be vertical with your chest lifted and shoulders open and relaxed. Bend both knees and lower your body weight down towards the floor keeping a 90% angle between the upper and lower leg. Then push up explosively and jump off the ground. Switch your legs in mid air and then land with your opposite feet forward and back from where your started. As you land, bend both knees so as to soften the landing. Push back up again explosively and switch your legs around back to start position. (Modification removes the jump and perform alternating lunges)

10: Tuck Jump
Stand with feet shoulder width and knees slightly bend, Bend your knees and descend to a squat position. At the bottom of the squat, powerfully explode straight up bringing your knees toward your chest while in midair. Release your legs, control your landing and descend into the squat again with soft knees to avoid impact I the knees. Avoid doing these drills on concrete and use a soft, flat landing surface until you are comfortable with the exercise.
11: Jumping Jacks/Star Jumps
Start with feet together and hands by your side, jump both feet out to the side and raise your arms out to the side until your hands are just above shoulder height, return your feet together and hands to your side, Repeat
12: Mountain Climbers
Bend down and put your hands shoulder width apart on the floor. Place yourself in the basic push-up position with your arms in line with your chest and your legs extended outward. Rest on the balls of your feet while bringing one leg (for this example we'll say left leg) forward to your chest and back to its original position. Keep the right leg tucked during the forward and back movement of the left leg. Check to be sure your bent leg and hands carry the weight of your body and that you hold your head up during the back and forth leg movements.
13: Squat and Jab
Squat down as deep as comfortable by bending your knees and reaching your hips back as if to sit down in a chair behind you. While in this position keep your abs tight by pulling your belly button into your back, and keep your body upright. By holding a fist with both hands, jab forward alternately with each arm, hold this pose and punch your way through the last minuet….
Remember to record your scores and let me know what you got!
Good luck!
