Science was a cornerstone in the development of Kinesis.
The fitness industry has grown up and grown out of resistance machines that only move in one plane.

Kinesis brings a whole new dynamic way of training body, mind and soul.
It mixes functionality with creativity and in doing so enables an infinite number of exercises with Kinesis.
Used for sport specific, rehabilitation, endurance, explosive, young, old, novice and professional, the Kinesis really is for everybody and anybody.

The three pillars of Kinesis is strength, stability and flexibility. Kinesis achieves these three pillars by incorporating balance, proprioception on an uneven surface and controlling your body in space and all in an environment where you can fully extend the body.

Benefits of the kinesis is:

increased coordination
increased strength
increased balance
stronger core stability
increased flexibility
increased endurance
proper posture

In Kinesis training 30% more calories will be burned compared to traditional equipment training. A higher work volume can be achieved in a shorter period of tme.

Kinesis means movement. This type of workout is movement education for the ody and mind. This training is different from traditional exercise . Time in movement is the goal here, rather than reps. Movement training is FUN!

Fitness training is much more than just becoming lean, fit and healthier. Yes, we all go the gym to do that above all else… well most of us ( haha ).

Training your brain is equally important. A more academic word for this is Neuromuscular Skills ( NMS ). Basically, you want to make sure that you also challenge your brain just as much as you challenge your body. Obviously for sport this is very important. Hand and eye coordination drills, multiple and complex movement exercises is not just for the serious sports contender.

Simply put, the more you have to think about doing an exercise , the more you are developing your Neuromuscular Skills.

For example, doing a squat, while holding two different weighted medicine balls and moving them through three planes is but one example that you can train your brain. You have to focus on doing a squat correctly, while keeping your arm in line and moving them in a proper rhythm. You get the picture.

Also incorporating some boxing punches that combine different combinations isn’t just an arm toning workout but will develop your coordination.

Jab, jab, hook…  left, left, right hook etc etc… you get the picture.

Instead of just doing the old boring routine that uses nothing more than your arm going up and down, take it up a notch by working out a complex routine.

Another plus point is off course your muscles will work harder cause they won’ be used to such complex movements, which means they actually have to work.

I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you about the endless advantages, faster weight loss, more strength, better and quicker results.

So think NMS and open up a whole new world

Happy training!

Vibrational training isn’t really a new term but is more commonly visible these days in gyms as the Power Plate. Alot of people dismiss this simple but complexed piece of equipment… Be Aware!

One session with this machine and you’ll discover muscles in places you didn’t know you had.

Simply put, it works much more muscle fibers than conventional training.

Believe it or not but all your organs has a frequency that it vibrates at starting from about 5 Hz to 20 Hz. On the Powerplate you can set the frequency between 30 Hz to 50 Hz.

Bottom line… your muscles work more and harder on a Power Plate and that equals more strength and more fat loss.

My first session was really quite comic, since I felt that this was playtime instead of work-out time. Did I get a surprize?

A big YES!

Like I said, I discovered that I had muscle in places that i didn’t know about.

• BENEFITS OF THE POWERPLATE:
• Strengthening
• Increase in lean muscle mass
• Muscle development
• Increased metabolism
• Reduction of fat
• Increased human growth hormone
• Increased serotonin
• Increased testosterone
• Reduction of Cortisol ( stress )
• Increase in blood flow
• Decrease waste
• Decrease cellulite

The Power Plate can also be used for stretching and best of all MASSAGING. All you have to do is sit on it and magic…

Conventional Training has its place but don’t be scared to try new things, trust me, you won’t regret it.

Make sure you get instructions from a professional and vibrate away…

Happy Training!

VO2 max is the amount of energy consumed per kilogram of body mass per minute

In preparation for my Ironman dream next year, I went for a VO2 Max test. It is really a detailed assessment of where you are at the moment in terms of fitness, fat percentage, power, endurance, lactic threshold etc etc.

I would recommend it for anybody that is serious about their physical goals.

You get hooked to a computer that records your breathing and pumps out data that gets translated into figures for you to understand. Check out some pictures of me doing my VO2 Max test on my MY IRONMAN JOURNEY page.

Anyway, it gives you a good indication of your strengths and weaknesses and helps you to train more specific. My entire year’s training program is pretty much based on this test.

It doesn’t cost much and takes roughly about an hour. There is a run test or a bike test, but the bike test is more accurate and you can get much more data from that.

I had fun and it has helped me a lot and pretty much gives me the facts straight up.

Hope the training is going well!

I am so excited!

I bought a brand new heart rate monitor. It is a Garmin Forerunner 405. And I’ve been having so much fun with it. I went for a quick run yesterday and I absolutely love it. It gives speed, distance, pace,time obviously and so much more. I t has a virtual buddy that you can run against. It was really worth every penny.

I’ve used other more basic HRM before that just gives the basics and it works fine, but I am having so much fun with all  features of this HRM.

I’m also psyched that this is my first piece of serious equipment for my first Ironman race next year. I already feel a bit closer to accomplishing my dream.

I would definitely say that investing in a good HRM is a sound choice for anybody and there is really affordable ones out there and ones that is slightly advanced… like mine…haha.

Fitness is important!

Whether you like it or not or whether you agree or not, this is true. It is certainly a fact a you can find a fitness activity that you like and this can certainly surpass the traditional walking, running or cycling. What’s important is that you enjoy it and this will, in time, bring down your risk of cardiovascular disease,  cut body fat, increase your fitness and improve your overall health and the way you feel. ( Exercise causes the release of endorphins that makes you feel good)

There is a couple of basic steps that you can follow if you are inspired to get into a fitness routine.

• sit down with a personal trainer and discuss exactly what your goals are and what you enjoy doing
• sit down with a nutritionist and workout a meal plan that will take into account how many calories you need
• commit yourself to your program and give it time, it won’t happen overnight

There is an infinite number of benefits of doing this and to try and list them here would just make this article super-boring. (I hope it’s not)

Believe it or not but one of the biggest reasons that people claim that exercise didn’t work for them is that they stopped. As obvious as this may sound, it is true. Starting a great exercise routine, not seeing results quick enough and then stopping is very common. We live in an instant age where everything happens quick and easy. The misleading advertising of weight loss products has conditioned our minds to believe that weight loss and fitness is a quick, instant process. Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you but it is quite the opposite. Fitness is a slow and gradual process that takes time and commitment.

More importantly, it is a gradual change in lifestyle. Obviously it doesn’t mean that you should become a health freak however making little changes over time will give you the benefit of a healthier you and will add years to your life. After all, if we don’t have our health, what do we have? I’ll leave the answer up to you.

Happy training!

Whether you’re brand new in the gym or a seasoned athlete, RECOVERY time applies to everybody. Bottom line: your body needs time to rest. In fact, your recovery time is more important than the workout itself. This is when the body actually really gets to work. It is during this time that cells and muscle tissue gets rebuild and becomes stronger and more efficient and prepares itself for the next workout. Without sufficient time to recover, you’re going into a training session with a broken down body and that is what do not want.

Recovery is the time you give your body to… well… RECOVER. But equally important than the time in between your workouts is also the food that you put into your body. This plays a vital role in the body’s ability to repair itself, not just physically but also mentally. The food that you put into your body feeds body and mind.

Obviously depending on what kind of work you are doing, depends on what kind of food you want to put into your, body but one thing is universal. Your body needs the right combination of proteins, carbohydrates and fats as well as vitamins and minerals.

If you are focusing on losing weight, focus on lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and plant fats. If your focus is endurance like me, carbohydrates is important, however lean proteins and fats is equally important. Whatever you are doing, always try and get a balanced meal into your body right after your session, whether in the form of a meal replacement, which is a good option if you are a busy professional,  or a healthy prepared meal if you have more time.

Signs of over-training and lack of proper recovery is:

So, in conclusion, realise the importance of rest and give your body the break it deserves and you’ll find that you’ll be able to perform better over the long term.

Enjoy your training
