Health and Fitness Session Preparation

It’s all in the preparation!

• Eat a small, slow releasing carbohydrate snack 1-2 hours before the session. An energy bar, malt loaf with REAL butter or un-refined cereal with milk or yoghurt is the athlete’s choice. This will give you sustained energy throughout your session, leading to improved performance.

 

• Stay hydrated before, during and after exercise as this also improves performance and helps with weight management.

 

• Don’t over train – this will inevitably result in a slow progression to your goals. A few symptoms are: always being tired, loss of enthusiasm, no energy, picking up colds and illnesses, constant injuries and lack of physical progression.

 

• Set yourself small goals. Run a 5/10k race or maybe aim to loose 4lbs of weight per month. This will help to focus your mind and fuel your progress.

 

• Bring a quick carb and protein snack for the way home. A banana is a good choice, so is a recovery protein shake which is perfectly balanced with the athlete in mind!

 

• Try and get to at least 2 Ozonefit sessions per week and ideally take part in 3-5 exercise sessions per week in total. This can include your chosen sport of : running, core training, pilates, cycling, walking and weight lifting to name a few. Varied exercise sessions will promote continuous physical and cardio vascular progression and adaptation which = a toned body, lower stress levels and a healthy heart and mind!

 

• Exercise technique is more important than how many or how fast. This rule has no exceptions! Ultimately quality exercise will lead to being faster, fitter and stronger with less risk of injury. Our instructors will ensure technique is always adhered to.
