Back to Front
An Article in the Sunday Times Style Supplement 1st November 2015 caught our eye. The article “Back on Track” stated that: “the spine is the fitness industry’s latest obsession”!
Pete Fraser Fitness trainer Huw Owen explains the background and importance of core stabilization and how any personal trainer worth their weight should already be taking the spine into consideration when planning your exercise progression.
How may times do we read and hear the term “FAT BURNING” or “BURNING CALORIES”? Possibly every day!
Has anyone actually questioned this physiological impossibility?
Pete Fraser Fitness would like to be the first in the health and fitness industry to categorically state and reveal that humans are not combustion engines and do not somehow set light to fat in order to release energy. Steam may occasionally be seen coming out of our trainers’ ears but only when we hear the words “FAT BURNING”!
Want to learn exactly what does occur in the human body when we create energy from fat, carbohydrates and protein?
Quinoa is a nutty-flavoured wholesome grain, similar to buckwheat. It’s a good source of fibre, plant protein and minerals. It’s definitely in our recommended top foods list.
The `Glory` Handstand Press-up
This movement requires a great deal of upper body strength to complete and is not for beginners. At Pete Fraser Fitness we perform this with our fittest clients, who enjoy pushing the boundaries and need a challenge.
Here’s something explosive to improve your speed & power – Olympic Lifting
Most gym based resistance exercise is orientated around basic barbell, dumbbell and machine movements with limited real life application and even less for sport specific improvement. At Pete Fraser Fitness we challenge our clients with lots of exercise variation and Olympic Lifting is a useful method to build functional power into a varied training routine.
Let Pete Fraser Fitness trainer Alex Philipp show you how to perform an Olympic lift and fill you in with the benefits.
No. 2 The proper press-up
The press-up is a fundamental upper body movement for strengthening the major upper torso structures. At Pete Fraser Fitness we use them regularly to improve our clients’ upper body strength and power.
