Odyssey at the Luxury Lifestyle Event
November 19, 2010 No CommentsOdyssey Fitness were invited to have a stand at the Luxury Lifestyle Event hosted in the Kensington Hotel (South Kensington). What an action packed day it turned out to be! Having arrived super early whilst getting soaked on my motorbike on the way there, I went about setting up the stand and making myself at home.
Our 30 minute weight loss consultations went down a storm as we went about educating the ladies of Kensington all about The Odyssey’s fat loss model. The response was simply fantastic as we dished out our top tips towards dropping body fat as quickly and safely as possible.
Whenever we speak to people about losing fat and changing their body shape, we like to tell them something they didn’t know already. If you have been a client of ours or have kept up to date on our website, you will know that our fat loss model is strongly influenced by balancing key hormones through nutrition and exercise protocols which match your genetic body composition.
One of the main areas we focussed on at The Luxury Lifestyle Event was the importance of balancing female oestrogen levels. Oestrogen is a female power hormone which must be looked after if your goal is to lose weight. An imbalanced level of natural oestrogens will cause fat storage around your legs and bum. There is no use spending an extra hour on that treadmill if your levels of oestrogen are out of sync.
If you are serious about losing weight, this all important hormone needs to be balanced through eating the right foods for you and following an exercise programme suited for your body type. The Bio Signature assessment gives us all the evidence we require to establish your hormonal profile based on where you store fat.
What makes our model so effective is that once we have established where your hormonal imbalances lie, we will create a nutrition plan based on the results which won’t take over your entire life; it will set boundaries and guidelines with regards to which foods and drinks to eat/avoid.
When dealing with the exercise side of things, the programme designed will work specifically with your genetic makeup, so in many cases our clients end up doing less exercise than they were doing before whilst achieving a far greater result. Exercise is all about quality not quantity and choosing a programme which will have an impact on your body type.
Many people waste an enormous amount of time doing endless amounts of cardiovascular exercise. For many, the intensity is far too low which is why I can think of many examples of people who do lots of running and simply do not lose the weight. Higher intensity exercise like kickboxing, core training and weights circuits are the answer to stimulating your fast twitch muscle fibres which have a far greater fat loss effect. This is why our clients exercise less whilst making far greater changes!
