Healthy eating doesn't necessarily mean following a strict eating plan, but giving your body a balanced diet will provide you with adequate energy at the right time to ensure your body burns the maximum amount of fat during training.

So what does that mean? It means ladies that you can have your carbs and still lose weight. When we say carbs we're talking good carbs at the right time of day! Think yoguarts, apples, bananna's, oats, broccoli.. all good carbs and a great way to get a burst of energy before your hypoxi workout!

After Hypoxi training its always a good idea to maximise the amount of free fatty acids your body metabolizes during and after Hypoxi so its important you don't consume any heavy carbs to keep your body burning fat in the stubborn areas.

• Stir Fry - lean beef or chicken stir fry with bok choy, green capsicum, onion, corriander, light soy sauce and lemon dressing.

It is also important to remember that water plays a big role for the detoxification process that HYPOXI® promotes. Always drink at least 2 litres water daily, and aim for slightly more on the days of your HYPOXI® sessions as water is lost through sweat during exercise.

I had a client come in the other day for a trial session who explained to me she couldn't understand why she wasn't losing weight. She's been to several nutritionists in the area, eats healthy, enjoy's running and works out several times a week and still nothing..

It's not uncommon for a women's body to struggle to reduce fat in the problem areas of the stomach, hips and thighs despite regular exercise and a healthy diet. Largely the culprit is poor circulation in the problem areas. This might sound familiar if you get cold hands and feet easily or don't sweat in the bottom half when working out.. which are all indicators circulation is sluggish.

Hypoxi is the first training concept to combine alternating high and low pressure with exercise to help target fat in those areas which just won’t budge. Our simple 30 minute workout is safe, pain free and completely natural and helps your body to tap into stubborn fat stores while you work out. In just 6 sessions our client has already noticed considerable changes in skin texture, toning and cm lost more than what she would expect through conventional training.

With so many of our clients complaining that they often lose weight from everywhere except where they want it most here's a challenge to all the pear shaped women in the local area. Come in and try Hypoxi for free! See if you like it and find out how Hypoxi can change your body shape, shed weight and reduce cellulite.

Till next time.

Have you ever come across that photo of yourself that you just couldn't believe was you? That you looked at and thought, wow have I really gotten this big? Its that moment when you admit how much weight you've put on & there's no denying that its' really time to do something about it.

So about this time last year that was me.. in complete denial about obvious weight gain that I was still calling "baby weight" when in actual fact my baby was no longer a baby! Looking back I let myself go for a number of reasons.. or should I say excuses..

Weight loss is a journey and one that everyone has to come to on their own terms. As much as others wanted me to do it, I had to want it for myself. Mostly I had to believe & take on all the day to day challenges of motivating myself to stay focused, keep eating well and yes exercise!

After my first 6 sessions of Hypoxi I lost 5 cm's on my stomach.. I finally started seeing my waist again and loved that results were easier than anything else I tried. After the first pack of Hypoxi I was so impressed that I wanted to open my own studio and motivate others that are overwhelmed by the challenges of weight loss.. And here I am 6 months later loving the results I've got and super inspired to motivate others make positive changes...
Being bigger back then I used to justify why it didn't matter.. I made myself believe that size shouldn't matter when really its about so  much more than that. But the reality is being overweight affects so many areas of your life starting from self confidence, your relationship with yourself, yr partner, children & then on a more serious level your health.

Its my goal this year to inspire and motivate 500 women and men to reduce 10% of their body weight which will in turn reduce their risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and many other weight related illnesses.

I genuinely hope you enjoy reading our blog where I'll be sharing news, writing about our latest success stories and including tips. We'd love to hear from you too and let us know about anything that's worked for you and what hasn't too!
