WHY JOIN OUR LADIES NEW YEAR NEW YOU CHALLENGE??

​Men and women are very different in the way they eat, lose weight and respond to exercise.

During exercise women tend to be worried about bulking up, tend to lift lighter weights and focus more on cardiovascular fitness, while men tend to gravitate toward the kind of heavy lifting that boosts muscle composition and metabolic rate.

Then there’s our hormones, in women, ghrelin - the 'I'm hungry' hormone - spikes after a workout, while leptin - which tells the brain 'I'm full' - decreases whereas this does not happen with men. So post-workout, women tend to eat more, which puts them at risk to gain weight. Men don't experience this same hormonal fluctuation.  There are also a variety of emotional and behavioral issues that impact on the way men and women approach weight loss.

This is why we love doing our Ladies New Year New You Challenge, it gives us the opportunity to teach ladies how to exercise to boost your metabolic rate - no you won’t look like Helga!  We will also give you life tools you can take away and use in the future to keep up a happy healthy way of living.
