Thanks to Peter Gibbs for a humourous summary of his first 5 weeks with Evolve Health.

PRE  EVOLVE HEALTH
 
Well I guess you could say that it all began on the 5th September 2011.
That was the day Evolve Heath came into my life.
I was a portly 110kg + and feeling the worst I have for a long time.
I hadn’t exercised for at least 2 years.
Fortunately Tony de Graaf took pity on my condition and changed my life’s direction.
Prior to Evolve Health’s involvement it would not be unusual for me to dine out at least 5 times per week.
My average daily calorie intake from food and alcohol would exceed 5000 regularly.
My sleep pattern was erratic sometimes waking 6-8 times a night.
I was accused of break dancing in my sleep.
By mid-afternoon I was dozing off at my desk.
I could wake the neighbours with my snoring and was always complaining of one ailment or another.
I had no desire to exercise and lacked the energy to try.
 
POST EVOLVE HEALTH
 
It has now been 5 weeks and approximately 30 sessions (less Kidney Stone and Flu) and boy has my life changed.
I am currently  99.5kg (14.5kg to go)
My daily calorie intake is 1400 via the Metabolic Jumpstart Diet Plan.
I have not had an alcoholic drink for over 40 days (only 50 days to go).
I sleep constantly for at least 8 hours each night and have not woken during the night.
I wake up in bed where I went to sleep and hardly disturb the rest of the bed.
I have stopped snoring (according to people who would know).
My energy levels are better than they have been for a long time.
All the ache and pains I was getting have gone (apart from the gruelling training regime twinges)
I have never drunk so much water in my life.
All my friends have commented on the change to my appearance (for the better)
I look forward to the daily sessions and have met some terrific like minded people.
 
CONCLUSION
 
If someone does not agree that you can change your entire life for the better by using diet and exercise then they need to give me a call.
I guess you could say I am walking proof.

Kind Regards

Peter Gibbs (Your ever shrinking client)

feeling fit and feeling great

I have been doing Evolve Outdoor with Evolve Health. It has been fantastic training in the morning, doing the circuits, feeling fit and feeling great after training. The program has helped me with my fitness and given me the energy to work longer hours.

I feel wonderful now that I am training again

I have not exercised for the last 3 years and hence gained a tremendous amount of weight. This and my lack of fitness meant that I really struggled in my first few sessions but all the Evolve Health trainers were very supportive. We train in groups with people of many different fitness levels. My Evolve Health trainers have wonderfully tailored my training to my fitness level so I don’t feel like I am being left behind or a burden to the group. Tony has also been supporting and motivating me all along the way. I am in my forth week now and I feel that my fitness level has definitely increased. It is always very hard to start an exercise regime but I feel wonderful now that I am training again. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I look forward to more.

a well rounded workout

I have tried many group fitness classes over the past 10 years. Evolve Outdoor sessions provide a combination of the best features of all of those – a well rounded workout with a good blend of cardio and strength work in the fantastic outdoor setting of King’s Park.

Highly recommended.

Top 5 pre and post running stretches

Pre and post run stretches will help with injury prevention and performance. When stretching before your run make sure you perform a minimum of 4 – 5 minutes of mobility exercise before stretching such as light to moderate jogging, single leg swings, body weight squats and body weight lunges. Your pre run stretches should be held for 10 – 15 seconds with moderate pressure. After you have finished your run this is the time where you can safely push your stretching harder to increase your joint flexibility and help with post training recovery. Here you can hold your stretches for 30 seconds or more.

Seeing a physio is your first and best option and most prescriptive physio home exercise programs designed to rehab this condition will recommend the use of a foam roller to release the tension in your ITB.
