Get Inspired - Two New Online Personal Training Transformations!

If you're looking for some inspiration to get started moving toward your ultimate health and fitness goals, here's a good place to start. We're very happy to announce two of our latest online personal training client transformations!

Our first success story is Trish, who had been exercising for thirteen (yes, thirteen) years, yet just couldn't manage to accomplish her ideal physique. After two childbirths, she had seen some results yet couldn't quite manage to obtain the toned body that she desired. Over just a 12 week period, she accomplished this jaw-dropping transformation:

Trish reduced her waistline by 13.2cm and her hips by 7cm! Be sure to check out Trish's complete story!

Our second success is Adrian, who had also been exercising, just without seeing the desired results. He really wanted to lose 5kg of weight and build some muscle mass too. Although he certainly didn't have a clean run and had very limited training equipment, he pulled off an outstanding transformation:

As you can see, he reduced his waistline significantly - by 13cm in fact! Adrian lost 8.5kg (3.5kg more than his original goal. Further, his posture improved considerably in only 12 weeks; notice the improvement with his neck and shoulders in the two photo's - in the original shot there was a much more prominent forward tilt with his head/neck with slightly more rounded shoulders. Better yet - Adrian did this all only with some dumbbell weights and a gym ball at home! You must read Adrian's transformation story.

From all of us at Amino Z, congratulations on your amazing results Trish and Adrian!

As People Gain Weight, "Overweight" Becomes a Relative Term

It may seem odd that even after all those years and all those burgers you’re still able to squeeze into a size 6 but you’re not able to fit into your old pair of jeans.

Adrian - 12 Week Transformation

Adrian had been trying to accomplish a 5kg weight loss and toning goal on his own without success. He enlisted our online personal training services and lost a staggering 8.5kg, whilst reducing his waistline by 13cm!

All Dietary Fat is Not the Enemy

In our efforts to eliminate most or all dietary fats from our lives, we may be doing ourselves more harm than good.

Can Eating Fast Food Help You Lose Weight?

Healthy menu choices are appearing within fast food outlets. But how appropriate is eating fast food to help you to lose weight?

Exercise Therapy Best for Knee Pain

A new study from the Netherlands shows that supervised exercise therapy can be a more effective solution than usual care in reducing pain and improving knee function.

Supervised Strength Training Better

A supervised resistance training workout has been demonstrated to be far more effective than training in isolation.

How to Avoid Mindless Eating

There are many factors that may lead one to overeat mindlessly, from sitting in from of the television, to larger plates that result in bigger portions.  Our busy lifestyles can cause many over-eating issues, most without us even noticing.  Much of this problem is not so much what we eat, but how we eat.

What You Eat After Exercise Matters

It's not necessary to starve yourself after exercising in order to gain some of the most important health benefits of that exercise. According to a University of Michigan study, low-calorie meals eaten just after exercise do not improve insulin sensitivity any more than regular meals that match the calories expended during the exercise.

Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements Help Prevent Fractures

A large study has determined that daily vitamin D and calcium supplementation can reduce the risk of bone fractures.

The Role of the Brain in Fatigue

When you feel tired after an exercise, or "hit the wall", is this really a result of your body becoming tired, or your brain signalling that it has had enough?

Having a Pear Shaped Body Protective Against Heart Disease

There may be health benefits to having a larger lower half than top half. A study completed by Oxford University researchers showed that having a pear-shaped body is not only less dangerous than having an apple-shaped body, it is actually protective against heart disease.
