Les Mills BODYPUMP

Les Mills BODYPUMP TM is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body.  This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls.  Great music, awesome instructors and your choice of weights inspire you to get the results you came for - and fast.

The world is just too busy.  And your life, well forget about it, thereís just no time in the day when you can manage to squeeze a little bit of exercise into your schedule. Someone is always calling and interrupting your exercise routine anyway.  The emails are not going to answer themselves.  The bills need to get paid and donít you really deserve to spend some quality time watching television. Thatís pretty harmless stuff, right?  And itís your life anyway and what right does someone have to tell me how I should be eating or exercising or doing anything for that matter.

Any of those ideas sound familiar at all?

If they do not, count yourself lucky.  Because thoughts like these seem to appear out of thin air just when you decide to start an exercise program to lose some weight.   It is almost like there is a hidden force in their minds that jumps right out in front to prevent them from starting an exercise program.

Of course, exercise helps you lose weight.  The amount of weight you are going to lose depends on the amount of exercise you do and the intensity.  Now, if you eat more than you did before with the rationalization that since you are working out you can eat more, you are probably not going to lose any weight at all.  But in general if you exercise more and eat less, some weight is going to vanish into thin air.

Starting a new physical workout schedule is the kind of thing that will really change the way you look and feel. You will also find that your entire mood will change. You feel better, you feel more alive and you will feel the kind of happiness that comes from knowing you are doing something good for yourself.

Increased energy, increased happiness and decreased weight; those sound like terrific reasons to start an exercise program as soon as you can. No reason to delay all those benefits and once you start you will never want to go back to the way you were.

Cost is no excuse, Gold Coast PCYC currently has a 7 day free trial for Group Fitness and the Gym if you are new to the club.  Creche is included in the cost and available 9am - 12 O'clock.   If you join before the 7 day trial is over we will waive the State Wide PCYC Membership fee of $30 for adults, $20 for children or $60 for the family.  You can get unlimited Gym, Boxing Room and Group Fitness visits for $16 per week direct debit or unlimited Gym and Boxing Room for $10.99.

Cardio for weigh loss

Cardio Workouts For Weight Loss - Simple And Enjoyable

If you are interested in losing some of the extra kilos you have been carrying around then cardio workouts for weight loss are just what you need to help you achieve your goals.  Let us be honest for a moment, shall we? Most people don't like to engage in exercise.  However, the combination of regular exercise and healthy eating is the best way to lose weight.  You should be aware that your cardio workouts need to be done on a consistent basis.  Therefore, if you are able to find exercises you enjoy, you will have an easier time sticking with your weight loss plan.

That raises the question of what the best way is of making a workable weight loss and cardio workout plan that fits in with your lifestyle. Here are some things to consider as you develop your plan:

Boxercise

1. Time. I understand that you are very busy, but everybody is busy. Perhaps you feel that you don't even have a spare minute to spend on exercising. If so, then I have a question. How much time do you spend watching television or mindlessly surfing the internet? Would you be willing to give up 15 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week, if it meant you would lose weight and feel better than ever before? 

Les Mills RPM class

2. Ability. You are reading this, so I will assume you want to know about weight loss. In turn, it's probably a safe assumption that you are not in peak physical condition. When you first start doing cardio workouts, select exercises that are within your level of ability. It's okay to push yourself to some extent, but you don't want to injure yourself either. Be sure to check with your personal doctor before starting a new eating plan or exercise regimen. They will most likely be thrilled that you want to be healthier, but they can also alert you to any underlying medical problems you have, and how best to deal with them.

3. Enjoyment. Generally speaking, exercise doesn't sound all that enjoyable to most people. They only think of it as work, but it doesn't have to be if you select activities that you enjoy. It stands to reason that the more you look forward to your exercise, the more likely you will be to stick with it. Here is a short list of some of the best exercises for cardio workouts for weight loss that we have at the Gold Coast PCYC.

Tennis
Zumba
Cardio Fit

Running
Walking
Boxercise
Les Mills Body Pump
Boxing
Elliptical trainers
Bicycling - Les Mills RPM

FOR OUR TIMETABLE VISIT www.goldcoastpcyc.com

You should now have a good idea of what type of exercises you will be doing and when you will do them, but that's only part of the picture. You also need to have an end goal in mind. If you don't, you won't know when you get there, and it will be easier to get discouraged when you don't see results right away.

Tennis is for all ages

Doing cardio workouts for weight loss is one of the best ways to take of extra pounds. Now that you have a better idea of how best to do it, it's up to you to follow through. You'll be glad you did and we are here to support you.

Gold Coast PCYC - Cheerleading

Cheerleading on the Gold Coast is a growing sport. 

What do you think of when someone mentions Cheerleading?  If your answer is Pom Poms, banners and cheers at a football or basketball game you would be correct.  But also add manoeuvres, correct posture, music, strength, stamina, acrobatics, gymnastic moves and you have an enjoyable sport which is becoming more popular both recreationally and competitively.
