Well it’s now November and I think we are now in the safe zone to mention the big man and Christmas!! The shops are all gearing up to it with the introduction of Xmas foods ranging from mince pies, cakes, chocolates, biscuits and the booze, wines and spirits.
At this time of year, we are in two minds, work out now to get into that new Xmas outfit or wait for the January rush when we jump on the get fit wagon.
STOP…. THINK…START NOW!!!!
You have a chance now to build up your fitness, the gyms will be quieter than January so you can take your time to learn how to use the machines properly and build technique and form and to understand the training regime you want to adopt. Try a few classes and get comfortable in the gym surrounding. Many are looking for weight loss:
Here at PECS exercise is a yearlong activity, it is important to remember that it is a full lifestyle change when we exercise for health and fitness. Not only do we exercise for image to change how we look, but very much a full body change inside and out. I would recommend that any individual embarking on a new or a resumed training programme should also do so when they are 100% sure that they are ready to start and carry on, not just at Christmas, in January, but the whole year through, and hopefully for life.
Here is a list of essentials to remember when working out as a long-term gym goer, beginner or novice.
- Always have a good reliable training partner (If you choose to train in a pair)
- Always stay hydrated, drink plenty of water
- Train in the right gym/ environment
- Always warm up before working out
- Respect your workout area, always put away weights after use
- Eat good nutritional food, proteins, carbs, good fats
- Get a good amount of rest/ sleep
It wouldn’t be realistic to be expected to eat totally healthily over the Christmas period, its only right to make the right choices and compromises when looking at the nutrition side of your diet. Here at PECS Fitness we do offer our RIGHT BITE PREPPED MEALS.

PECS MONTHLY CHALLENGE
Our august challenge was the crucifix hold (lateral raise dumbbell hold), the men used 5kg dumbbells and the ladies 3kg. Our winners did a great job with a lot of competition.
Male winner: Wayne C with a time of 2.04
Female winner: Theresa B with a time of 2 minutes
Our September challenge was how long you could hold a plank on the elbows for. We had some partnership rivalry to start our competition until eventually the winners were
Nathan Munn plank hold 2minutes 21 seconds

Amazing results, especially from Lisa who is a previous winner.
