Core and pelvic floor masterclass
Over the last five years we have worked with many clients that have had very weak core muscles resulting in all sorts of challenges including back pain and other functional issues. Many of our female clients have been affected by pelvic floor weakness and this presents a challenge when jumping, skipping or other impact exercise is involved. Whether or not you have had children, pelvic floor muscles do weaken over time.
Recipe of the month

Include as many vegetables as you want. I used sweet potato, beans, carrots, mushrooms and capsicum.

She had given birth to her first child and was looking to get back into regular training of and she contacted us asking if we would be interested in starting up a group specifically for some of the mothers that she was in contact with through her mother's group.
Weight and bodyfat %
Some regard the body fat percentage as the best measure of an individual's fitness level since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates the particular individual's body composition without regard to the individual's height or weight. BMI (Body Mass Index) can be skewed and is not necessarily an accurate indicator of body fat. For example, individuals with greater than average muscle mass will have a higher BMI.
