GUILT-FREE NUTRITION BY NATALIE ALEXANDER

Natalie is passionate about health and fitness. Qualified in nutrition,

and fanatical about fitness she is well placed to have a clear un-derstanding of just how essen-tial it is that we all pay careful and considered attention to our nutritional intake when look-ing at achieving our health and fitness ambitions. Natalie rec-ommends taking control of our

diet by knowing exactly what it is we are eating, and that starts by food preparation. “ We eat on trust , and I am afraid for me that trust is broken. There are far too many hidden sug-ars, calories, additives and carb rich ingredients not disclosed in the food that we buy. I pre-pare from scratch all the meals that both my husband ( Mr 5% bodyfat Scott Alexander) and I

eat, and it was after seeing first hand how easy it is with a little bit of imagination to replace bad with good clean natural in-gredients, that prompted to me to delicious, nutritious recipes so that I could help empower others to take control of food.

SECRETS THAT

NICOLE SCHERzINGER

HAS BEEN RAvING ABOUT.

1. Shoulder Press

Targets: DELTOIDS, TRICPES, TRAPEZIUS Hold the dumbells at your shoulders with your palms facing out. Keep your core engaged and knees soft. Extend your arms up and then slowly down.

Do 12 reps. Make sure your dumbbells are heavy enough that reaching the last rep is a challenge.

2. Arm Walks

Targets: CORE, ARMS Get into plank position and put your feet on the tea towels. Keeping your feet still, use only your upper body to ‘walk’ forward on your arms, dragging your body behind you.

Throughout, keep your core engaged and your body in plank position. Be careful that you don’t drop in the middle or arch your back. Keep your hips completely still so you’re not swinging as you walk.

Go 10 steps forward and 10 back.

4. Beats

Targets: QUADS, HAMSTRINGS, CORE, GLUTESStand with your feet wide apart. Squat deeply, keeping knees behind toes.

Jump, lengthening your legs fully, beat-ing them together quickly in the air.

Land back in a deep squat. Try not to bounce or reposition

your feet. Do 12 reps.

3. Squat jumps backwards

Targets: GLUTES, HAMSTRINGS, QUADSBegin with your feet hip-width apart and knees soft. Squat down, then launch yourself backwards in a jump.

Land in a deep squat with your heels on the ground and your bum pushed back.

Do eight big jumps backwards. Then jump to face the other way and do eight back to your starting positions.

5. Jumping Kicks

Targets: QUADS, HAMSTRINGS, CORE, GLUTES

Stand with your feet wide apart. Squat.Begin with your legs hip-width apart. Pull your left knee up to your chest as you jump with your right leg as high up as you can.

Your left knee should still be in the air as you kick your right leg.

The higher and faster you pull up your left knee, the more efficient your kick will be.

Do 12 kicks, then swap and do 12 on the other leg.

HIIT4FATLOSS Better results in less timE

Scott Alexander celebrity life coach

I want to talk HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). It is the buzzword in fitness. It’s a training protocol that has been used by

the worlds leading athletes for decades, loved by Hollywood actors to get fitter, faster and stronger in a fraction of the time, and employed by the worlds best fitness coaches to help furnace and torch fat from the body.

I have centred my entire fat loss and hypertrophy (gaining muscle) approach upon placing the body under varying stimuli which forces it to becomes fitter VO (2R) which mean the body sustains both fat loss and lean muscle gains.

As a coach, nothing melts fat faster than HIIT, as someone who has trained and pushed my body way beyond its comfort zone day in day out for over 22 years, HIIT is a protocol I have elected since I was 18 (I am now 40) and is the first training protocol on my training plan

each week. Now, like any training methodology HIIT for those of you starting out or new to this type of hyper training, can find it daunting or confusion. I therefore want to clear up a few common mistakes being made by many of you, and explain a couple of the key features of HIIT to help you train more effective.

I will also include a HIIT workout programme taken from my new APP “Your CardioGuru” with a timed music mix along with audio coaching to help get you started on a journey that will be a game changer to your fitness and body ambitions.

Brand ambassador, personal trainer and fitness Model Ed Djafer helps you get in great shape any time of year. Nutrition is a pivot-al part of building an impressive physique and staying healthy.

Here are Ed’s Top 3 nutrition tips:

1. Eat plenty of protein: You’ve heard it before; take in around one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. This is essential if your plan is to build instead of maintain muscle mass.

3. Eat the right kinds of protein: Make sure your proteins are from lean sources such as lean beef, lean ground meats, turkey, fish such as salmon and tilapia, chicken breasts, protein powders, egg whites with a few yolks, skim milk and fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese.

3. Eat the right kind of carbohydrate: Stick with complex carbs such as oatmeal, wheat bread, brown and wild rice, sweet potatoes, wheat pasta, and quinoa. This will ensure that your blood sugar stays steady throughout the day to supply you with ample energy for your hard workouts.

nutrition in professional cycling lessons for the everyday athlete What Are The Aims For Training &

Nutrition In Professional Cycling?

Optimal power:weight Improved efficiency Power and fatigue resistance

Ultimately, training and nutrition should result in the rider:

Losing weight to achieve an ‘optimal’ power:weight ratio, whilst preserving lean body mass and health.Becoming more efficient at using fat as a fuel at high intensity, to preserve glycogen stores.Being able to produce repeated very high-power efforts.

These goals will be targeted at different times, according to the training phase. Just as training is altered to suit the demands of a race, nutrition must also be adjusted according to the perfor-mance demands and desired outcomes of training.

I believe that a key development in professional cycling can be seen in the way in which teams are combin-ing training and nutrition to create a ‘metabolic performance environment’ as Team Sky would describe it.

In this environment, we see training as the stimulus for the protein signal-ling pathways that drive adaptation. Nutrition provides the building blocks required for the adaptation to take place.

The Metabolic Performance Environment

In order to determine what this metabolic performance environment should look like, we need to begin by answering some key questions:

What is the rider capable of now?What they need to be capable of to achieve their goal?How can we build a logical progres-sion in terms of training and nutrition to take them there?

The Performance Question Model

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Team Sky

have a systematic way of approaching this in a continuous process called the ‘Performance Question Model’. It begins by defining the ‘Performance Problem’.

Preparing For The Race: The ‘Perfor-mance Problem’

Cycling is like other endurance events in that it requires athletes to maintain a relatively high work-rate for long periods. This requires a well developed aerobic system and fat metabolism. However, the average work-rate, often expressed as average power output, does not tell the whole story about the demands of professional cycling.

A casual observer may suggest that the average power from a professional race is comparative to that of a strong amateur rider’s sportive performance. To use a Tour de France example, analysis of Vincenzo Nibali’s power file1 from his stage 2 winning ride in the 2014 Tour de France reveals that his average power was 221 watts. This statistic is misleading in some respects, because it fails to describe the short, intense, repeated efforts, significantly above the rider’s ‘thresh-old’, which were required to escape the peloton, catch competitors and force the strongest riders to emerge.

In terms of nutrition during races and prolonged, high-intensity training ses-sions, the potential for carbohydrate consumption to improve performance has been extensively researched.

Stellingwerf & Cox (2014)3 conducted a systematic review of 61 studies on carbohydrate and endurance perfor-mance, representing 679 participants, and concluded that 82% demonstrated statistically significant improvements in performance. The consumption of carbohydrate before, during and after races is an important element in a pro-cyclist’s nutritional strategy.

Vincenzo Nibali’s race winning effort on stage 2 of the Tour de France. During the stage, he climbed the ‘Cote de Holme Moss, maintaining 400 watts for over 12 minutes. This effort came after 143 km of racing and this 12 minutes towards the end of

it would have been fuelled predomi-nantly by carbohydrate. Ensuring that glycogen is preserved is best achieved through a combination of prior train-ing and carbohydrate consumption before and during the event.

However, in training, we are trying to stimulate adaptations, particularly in terms of fat metabolism. So, whilst a higher carbohydrate approach may be most appropriate for high-intensity sessions which target adaptations for the high power efforts that character-ise road races, periods of controlled carbohydrate training may result in adaptations which improve fat me-tabolism and preserve limited muscle glycogen stores in preparation for this race context.

In Practice

However, many riders find it psycho-logically challenging to set off for a training session without eating break-fast. Also, hunger before and during training can compromise motivation. Whilst relatively few studies have looked into this, Team Sky’s Head of Nutrition Nigel Mitchell has observed that:

“Protein feeding before and during fasted rides appears to support training and improve adaptation to endurance

training while supporting recovery.”

Some coaches and researches asked whether protein ingestion before and during training could compromise the adaptive response of carbohydrate restricted sessions.

My name is James Hewitt, I’m a Sports Scientist and Performance Cycling Coach.

My passion is helping cyclists to realise more of their potential. I see that the Performance Coach’s key role is to co-ordinate information from a spe-cialist network and apply this to create an environment which optimises the performance of the athlete.

However, 12 years ago, before I became a coach I was racing myself and had recently moved to France to pursue a career as a professional cyclist.

The cycling world looked quite different then and the sport’s approach to nutri-tion was no exception. It’s important to point out that I’m a practitioner, not an academic and that I’m also not a nutri-tionist, so today, I’m going to share how, as a coach, I might integrate the recommendations of nutritionists into a rider’s training programme to prepare them for a cycling event.

We’re going to explore how professional

cyclists prepare for competition and look at how this has changed over the last 10 years. What does the evidence say and are there any lessons to help improve the performance of ‘everyday’ enthusiast endurance athletes?

I moved to France in 2002 and over the next couple of years moved up the ranks to join an Elite Espoir develop-ment team linked with a professional cycling team.

At the time I was racing, nutrition at both amateur and professional level was unsophisticated, to say the least. With the exception of fluctuations in volume, our diets didn’t change that much throughout the year: pasta off the bike, gels, cereal bars and perhaps some carbohydrate based powder in the bottles, on it.

No-one had taken the time to explore the research that was available. A classic example of this was the approach I took to tackle the cramps I was experiencing towards the end of demanding races.

In the peloton, I’d overheard a couple of guys talking about a pharmaceutical muscle relaxant called ‘Hexaquinine’. Apparently, it was effective in alleviat-ing cramp. I bought some from a local pharmacy (they were pretty relaxed about prescriptions back then), popped a couple of pills towards the end of a race and it worked remarkably well, but I was acutely aware that I wasn’t addressing the root of the problem, I just didn’t have the time or access to advisors who could help me conduct a more thorough investigation. The fact that I skipped straight over possible nutrition and training interventions to a pharmacological solution, and the fact that I was so willing so self-prescribe it, was indicative of the culture of the sport at the time.

Thankfully, this is changing and many teams are applying the wealth of sci-entific research that’s available to us to support health and improve performance.

Since 1997, it has been our ob-jective to develop innovative and effective products that work and

allow our customers to make it happen, whatever their goals.

When developing the ActiVeman range, we wanted to keep things simple. We created a selection of products to meet the needs that many of our custom-ers wanted. These included improving performance and powering up other as-pects of their wellbeing, notably healthy joints, strong heart, strong immune system and weight management.

With this in mind we also wanted to create unique packaging that would convey the message of “powering up” and nothing conveys this better than a battery; so the concept was born and with input from our amazing ambassa-dors, most notably: James Cracknell, Ben Shephard and Reggie Yates the range was developed.

Importantly, not only was the packaging innovative in it’s appearance, but in it’s functionality too, as it is made 100% from tin, it not only keeps the products in perfect condition but can also be recycled or even up-cycled into a stylish container.

Conveying such a strong visual of ener-gy, we then thought how can the ener-gy from sport & exercise be harnessed? And it was then we had a chance meeting with Endomondo, who suggest-ed that we come up with an ActiVeman challenge for their community of sports & exercise enthusiasts.

At this point it dawned on us, that during exercise we burn calories, which are a measure of energy. If we could burn enough calories, then, in theory this could be converted into power which could light up a city, and the city most famous for its lights is: Las Vegas.

We calculated how many calories you

would need to burn to light up the most high-stakes city in the world, which turned out to be a staggering 1.9m calories - that’s a whopping 8 megawatts! The challenge was set - could we light up Las Vegas for a day?

Over 8,000 people joined us in this quest led by James Cracknell and fuelled by ActiVeman, all of whom tracked their calories every time they exercised.

The result after only 1 month was a staggering 31 million calories burnt, enough to light Las Vegas for over 2 weeks!

At the moment we haven’t figured out how to do this for real, but we believe somebody will figure it out.

12 WEEK TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE 2015

At Bio-Synergy, we understand that some-times, you need support and guidance to achieve your goals as well as a focus.

Over a decade ago, we launched our first 12 Week Challenge to provide a focus to achieve lasting and measurable transformations.

Since then, hundreds have taken part in our challenge. All with different goals rangingfrom getting back to fitness to setting a new PB and in some cases achieving a change in lifestyle.

At Bio-Synergy, we not only have the benefit of in house experts but a host of profession-als that we can call on to create bespoke training, supplement and healthy eating plans.

In our recent challenge there have been three standout participants, all with different goals. Luke Lawrence, an OCR competitor; Sarah Hunter a busy entrepreneur, and Dan Wood-ward a keen gym goer, who wanted to pack on lean mass.

The team at Bio-Synergy created bespoke plans for each of them, and this is what theyhad to say after completing the challenge:

“I normally focus on whey protein. However, I tried many other supplements including the Essential Sports Fuel and ActiVeman Free Motion. I always train hard but I really upped my training and benefitted from it greatly,” - Luke Lawrence. “I feel totally different and so confident. My clothes are loose and I feel completely ener-gised in the mornings,” - Sarah Hunter.

“I couldn’t believe how much stronger I got from the training and supplements. My goal was to reach 16, and thanks to Bio-Synergy, I did it” - Dan Woodward.

And for those who love stats, here they are:

Luke Lawrence: 12 stone 12 lbs start of chal-lenge. 12 stone 0.5 lbs end of challenge.

Dan Woodward: 13 stone 3lbs start of chal-lenge. 14 stone end of the challenge.

Sarah Hunter: Start of challenge: 13 stone 1 lbs. End of challenge. Sarah also lost an im-pressive 10 centimetres off her whole body.

In summary, the focus of the challenge com-bined with bespoke plans and supplements is a

powerful combination that leads to success.
