Mmmm.
How are we team? Rob Masters here from Fit College NZ, personal trainer. Here today to talk to you about one of my favourite things in life, it’s food ok. Last time we caught up we talked about bear crawls and saber tooth tigers and buffaloes and we talked about the core and keeping that nice and strong. Today, we’re going to talk about what we’re putting on the other side of the core, that’s what we put into put body, to fuel us, to give us energy, to build the muscles and so forth ok.
Look, I’m not a nutritionist, I’m not an expert but I can give you basic some tips as a personal trainer, I am qualified to do that ok. What I just really want to say is that I’m the type of personal trainer that doesn’t harp on about what you should and shouldn’t have. What i will say to you though is there’s one word I really love and that’s moderation ok. Moderate what goes in ok and it’ll look after you a lot better. I have never ever told a client ‘do not drink alcohol’. I know it’s probably not the best thing in the world but I always tell them reduce the amount of alcohol you take. Why do I do that, cos i like a glass of wine on a Friday after I;ve done a 50 hour shift ok. So bring the levels down on what you are doing. You need carbohydrates, that’s where your energy comes from. You need protein cos that’s how we build our muscles ok. So think about what you’re eating on a day to day basis, a week to week basis ok. Is it the right thing? Is it too much processed? Is the fat level too high? Is there too much sugar in it? If it is, bring it down, take it out ok.
The other thing you can think about, some people know this, for some people it’s new. When you walk in that front door of the supermarket, stick to the outside of the supermarket. Those aisles all down the middle generally most of the foods in there is all highly processed ok. The stuff at the end of each aisles, those grab things, that bag of chips, those bottles of coke, steer away from those as well. The fresh fruit, the better food is generally on the outside of the aisle. So stick to that part of the ah, of the supermarket. You need food in your system, don’t turn up the gym on an empty stomach. You need energy to power you through the workout. The more food you eat, it lift’s your metabolism. It starts to burn fat. It starts to build muscle. It’s important that you have good healthy food.
Moderate ok. Think about what you’re doing ok. And put the right stuff in, good stuff comes out ok.
Alright, next week alright we’re going to talk a little bit more about body weight exercises in a high intensity type of fashion ok, that sort of exercise.
So I’ll see you then. Enjoy your food. Enjoy life. Exercise hard. I’m going back to lunch.
