Mon, October 11, 2021

Which fuel source would your style of training benefit from most? Carbohydrate, protein, and fat each play distinct roles in fuelling exercise. The intensity of what you’re asking your body to do, as well as available existing energy, dictates which fuel is used most Carbohydrate – Carbohydrates provide a highly efficient source of fuel….

Want to improve your squat? 🏋️

Swipe 👉 to find 3 Exercises you should be incorporating into your routine to get stronger:

1. Box squats
Box squats give you the opportunity to overload the movement beyond a weight you might lift for a regular back squat. Lower into the squat until you touch the box, then pause for a second to eliminate any momentum... squeeze your glutes and quads as you finish the movement, while maintaining a neutral spine.

2. Loaded Ankle Mobility
Increased range of motion at the ankle can allow for the hip and knee to move with more ease, and could also change your torso angle for the better! Try this as a warm and up and incorporate it into your daily routine to help improve your range of motion when you squat...

3. Goblet Squats
Lower loads will allow you to focus on new positions. Most find they can then sit deeper in a squat, and with more ease.

REPOST @starksonline_

What are energy systems? 🫁🫀Let @jack_coachedbyjack give you the rundown…

Look at the energy systems our body uses to power us through day to day life and of course exercise. In the simplest way of explaining things, we can group energy systems into aerobic and anaerobic...

— Aerobic —

I like to define aerobic training in two zones, aerobic ‘fitness’ is the capacity to exercise in activities where the energy is supplied by the oxygen utilization process and the oxidative system.

Aerobic ‘capacity’ is the highest amount of oxygen consumed during maximal exercise. Aerobic capacity, aerobic power and maximal oxygen uptake are terms that are often used interchangeably.

Having a higher aerobic capacity will allow an individual to take on board and utilise oxygen at an increased intensity. Someone with a lower aerobic capacity will quickly switch to anaerobic fuel sources.

— Anaerobic —

Anaerobic exercise is intense activity requiring energy production without using oxygen. ‘Anaerobic’ means in the absence of oxygen.

The primary fuel source used here is glucose or glucose stored as glycogen. All exercise starts with this energy system, the continued duration and intensity then dictates whether or not you remain anaerobic or aerobic.

Anaerobic ‘threshold’ defines the upper limit of exercise intensity that can be sustained. The anaerobic threshold is attained during more intense exercise.

The onset of blood lactate accumulation and lactate threshold essentially mean the same thing, at this point the accumulation of acidity in your blood rises and may impair your ability to perform at the same rate or intensity.

Today is World Mental Health Day, an international

Today is World Mental Health Day, an international day for global mental health education, awareness and policy advocacy 🧠

A stressful situation can be all it takes to set off the stress response. Spending time with friends, family and loved ones can actively reduce stress by stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system.

To mark Mental Health Day, bring a friend along to Starks gyms next week. Spend time with your loved ones while releasing those endorphins together! Please email memberships@starksfitness.co.uk ahead to secure their spot in a timetabled class for free ☺️

Mental health and wellbeing are two different things - whilst tending to your mind, body and soul is important for mental health, sometimes it isn't enough. If you can, practice healthy wellbeing habits, but always seek help and advice when everything feels like too much... Talking about your feelings and asking for help is part of taking charge of your wellbeing, and we are always here to listen #NeverAlone
