Aspire Personal Training

4 years ago. Lovely memories of my punk rock grrrls 🥰

Here's your reminder that HIIT to be fit is at 7am on Tuesday 🔥🏃‍♀️👟💪 Message me to book on.

It's going to be too hot 🔥☀️🌡 for HIIT this week. I'm thinking of doing an earlier class over the summer holidays so we can avoid suffering in the heat too much. Drop a comment below if interested. ⬇️

This came up in my memories. Written a year after I started Aspire. https://aspiretobefit.wordpress.com/2017/07/12/business-with-a-heart/?fbclid=IwAR0WNHTYVz-3XhkdXgj1qseeiw6d5WxRiyCifoyB8eyR59_gCt3-j1LZamQ

Business with a heart Aspire Personal Training started as an idea in my head when I was heavily pregnant with Minnie and my husband had lost his job.  I felt like I needed to train for a career that could earn us e…

Please note HIIT to be fit is taking a break this week due to sports day tomorrow. See you again next week!

Are you thinking about trying HIIT for the first time or maybe getting into it again? Here's some great reasons to make some space in your life for it. Class today is at 12pm. PM for a PARQ:

🔥 HIIT burns more calories during and after a workout than continuous aerobic training. Short bursts of exercise at maximum intensity increase calorie expenditure & after HIIT this continues in the two hours post workout.

👟 HIIT boosts endurance. Working at your maximum during these workouts means your running, weight training, cycling performance and ability to do the school run without flipping out will also improve.

🤸‍♀️ HIIT is fun and workouts are short meaning you can fit it in to your life and you are more likely to be consistent with it. Those endorphins will keep you wanting more. I have found that during that special "monthly time" a HIIT workout has actually filled me with energy for the rest of the day.

🫁 HIIT increases VO2 max. This is the maximum rate that the heart, lungs and muscles can use oxygen. Higher VO2 max means better physical fitness, heart health and glycemic control lowering risks of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.

What to eat after a HIIT workout:

Potatoes are a great option. As a carbohydrate-rich food that also contains high quality protein, potatoes as a post-exercise meal has the potential to not only replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores, but to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (building new muscles) as well.

High in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon offers a healthy way to jumpstart your muscle recovery. While the protein (containing all 9 amino acids) works to repair damage to the muscle fibres, the Omega-3’s help ward off illness. 

Green beans are high in vitamin K, and they also contain a decent amount of calcium. These nutrients are important for maintaining strong, healthy bones and reducing your risk of fractures.

Well done grrrls for a great HIIT session in the midsummer sun today 🌞 🙌🏃‍♀️👟
