Don’t Give Up 🙌
It might be only Monday but don’t give up just yet and BEG🙏 for it to be the weekend again just yet.
Sometimes it feels like we’re programmed to hate Monday. Like our weekend fun or relaxation comes to an end, and now it’s back to “real life”.
Monday isn’t the problem.
Monday isn’t an interruption.
Monday is another blessing and chance to pick up where we left off. Every fresh start to the week is another opportunity to learn new things and apply what we already learned.
BETTER ▪️▪️TOGETHER
At PTX we offer a fantastic PTX DUO Training Package where you can train together with a friend or partner.
Benefits of Training Together 👫
▪️FRIENDLY COMPETITION
Neither of you will want to fall behind while working out so it can be that added boost that keeps you going.
▪️FRESH THINKING
Supporting one another, pushing each other’s comfort zones & trying new activities.
▪️IT’S HAVE MORE FUN
Combining training with having a chat and a bit of banter makes things more enjoyable!
▪️SPOT BUDDIES
Having someone else around when you’re lifting heavy weights also makes your workout a lot safer and keeps you both injury free.
▪️ROUTINE
You are much more likely to keep going if you have a workout buddy. This is because you may feel guilty about not turning up and letting them down.
▪️STAYING MOTIVATED
Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to help us push out that last rep or keep going that extra minute.

Using PTX Fitness Logbooks help keep you accountable and track your progress!
Whether you’re training for a marathon, on a weight loss journey, or simply trying to keep track of your workouts, there are plenty of benefits of keeping a fitness journal.
▪️Accountability - Writing down your activity and your nutrition is a great way to keep yourself accountable for your goals. It helps you stay honest with yourself about whether you’re sticking to a fitness or diet plan.
▪️Keeps you focus and motivated - One of the reasons you may have had trouble seeing desired results in the past is due to a lack of tracking your progress.
▪️Help your personal trainer - If you’re looking to make a significant change in your health and wellness, working with a personal trainer will provide you with a custom workout and nutrition plan that is catered to your needs and goals.
What should you put in your fitness journal - What you choose to track is up to you, but here are a few general metrics to include in an entry:
▫️Record date/time
▫️Current bodyweight
▫️Food/calorie intake
▫️Workout or training method
▫️Mood
Here are a few additional details you can include:
▫️Sleep duration
▫️Progress photos
▫️Recipes
▫️Fitness goals/targets
▫️Inspirational quotes
▫️Personal achievements
▫️Articles/blog posts/etc that you can reference
Sleep has a significant impact on muscle recovery.
▪️If we don’t get enough you feel knackered the next day, another issue of not getting enough quality sleep is that it affects your efforts in the gym. While you may be able to ‘function just fine’, on a few hours of sleep, doing so still short changes your body composition goals.
Your sleep impacts your muscle recovery.
▪️REM (rapid eye movement) Sleep: occurs in cycles of about 90-120 minutes throughout the night, and it accounts for up to 20-25% of total sleep time in adult humans. REM sleep dominates the latter half of the sleep period, especially the hours before waking. REM sleep provides the energy to the brain that supports it during waking hours and is necessary for restoring the mind.
▪️Non-REM Sleep: known as slow-wave or deep sleep, this phase is essential for muscle recovery and restoring the body. Accounting for 40% of total sleep time, during this phase your blood pressure drops and your breathing becomes deeper and slower. Your brain is resting with very little activity, so the blood supply available to your muscles increases, delivering extra amounts of oxygen and nutrients which facilitate their healing and growth. Muscles and tissues are rejuvenated during this phase of sleep.
▪️Non-REM sleep cycle’ is the most important for muscle recovery, something else which occurs during adequate time in this phase is the secretion of Growth Hormone. As your body enters into the non-REM deep sleep stage, your pituitary gland releases a shot of growth hormone that stimulates tissue growth and muscle repair.
▪️Sleeping for 7-9 hours per night is crucial, especially if you are looking to change body composition, increase muscle mass and/or if you want to be ready for your personal training session the next day. Sleep enhances muscle recovery through protein synthesis and human growth hormone release. If you want to grow or lean out, get to bed and got to sleep!

What's included:
▪️Full body, fat & muscle measurements
▪️Specific fitness test
▪️A sample routine, tailored to your training
goals and your current level of fitness
Pendulum Squats 🏋️
▪️Are a great way to work your legs.
Small changes in foot position allows you to target your quads, glutes and hamstrings.
▪️The movement replicates a squat but removes the stress from the lower back and only a small amount of weight is needed to create a high level of resistance.
One Step at a Time
▪️Steps and stairs can be brutal as a fitness activity or just climbing them in daily life. But they are convenient and easily accessible to train on.
▪️They will enhance your heart and lung function and massively improve blood circulation. They significantly reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes or colon cancer. The key is to keep using them regularly where it is possible to do so.
▪️PTX trainers recommend a slow and steady approach to the stairs to encourage the best possible fat burn.
Make sure that you warm up before taking on any stairs. Remember, stairs should be dry, well-lit, well-ventilated and free of obstacles.
Don’t forget- keep a good posture!
