Walking: The Simple Secret to Staying Fit
https://gasstationfitnesswindsor.com/uncategorized/walking-the-simple-secret-to-staying-fit/

From the Olympic Weightlifting library for "Good To Know" today. C&J represents the "Clean & Jerk" movement.

Clean & Jerk is a two-movement weightlifting exercise in which a weight is raised above the head following an initial lift to shoulder level.

Embrace the Benefits of Walking

EMOM stands for "Every Minute On The Minute". You will start an exercise at the top of every minute and once the reps are complete, the remainder of the minute will act as your recovery.

Time to celebrate another member! This time, it is 🙌

Though Karen's schedule is a busy one with work and looking after a new four-legged member of the family 🐕. Karen has done extremely well in finding time to consistently prioritise her health with Gas Station Fitness. And that dedictation and consistency is showing results.

Energise Your Day with Healthy Snacking
https://gasstationfitnesswindsor.com/uncategorized/energise-your-day-with-healthy-snacking/

We wanted to let you all know about an event called, ‘Battle Cancer’. It is a hugely popular event and they have personally invited Gas Station Fitness & Nutrition Members to get involved!

💪The event is taking place September 14th at the London Olympia. Heats start from 9am, with event close at 5pm. Heats are every 9 minutes so you can choose a time that suits you!

💪 The challenge itself is new this year, 90 minutes max reps work (5 mins on, 4 mins off) across the workout.

💪 The ‘Battle Cancer’ team is asking a minimum of £200 raised as a team of four for your chosen charity, and every £ raised for any cancer charity is extra points on their team score on the day. So more fundraising, higher scores!

💪 For any gym that brings 5 teams or more, they will print a personalised community flag and have a designated area in the event along with some more freebies from their partners in the area.

💪 Each athlete (up to 2 weeks before the event - due to print deadlines!) gets a free athlete tee and then everyone gets some free stash from Moju, Tenzing and for taking on the 90 minute challenge! They have ice baths, an epic fitness shop, live music, finishers photo moments and loads more!

Let us know if you sign up. 😊

On Sunday 11th August our members can attend Seminar Sunday with Coach Joe. The focus of the seminar will be on the sn**ch. This is an opportunity to improve your technique and perhaps go for a personal best.

The sn**ch is an Olympic lifting movement. It starts with the barbell on the floor in a deadlift-like position and by the end of the movement the barbell is in the overhead position.

Why Walking is the Perfect Exercise for Everyone
https://gasstationfitnesswindsor.com/uncategorized/why-walking-is-the-perfect-exercise-for-everyone/

Bit of a trickier one today in the "Good to know" series.

If you see RX in a workout description, the definition is "as prescribed". This means doing the workout as it is written. If you complete the RX of a workout then you have completed it using the set amount of weight and reps.

If you're nervous about getting started, that's normal. Our suggestion would be to not worry about the workout when you get to the gym, but instead focus on making it to the gym. We've got you from there. 🙌

"Do something today that your future self will thank you for."

This is definitely an approach that helps us keep motivated here at Gas Station Fitness.

The next in our "It's Good To Know" Series.

The term AMRAP stands for '"As many rounds as possible". It is a type of high intensity workout that challenges you to complete as many rounds or repetitions of a chosen set of exercises within a specified time frame.

One of the best decisions I made joining this gym 18 months ago to kick-start my fitness journey again.

And that's because it's all about the people and community at the Gas Station Windsor. The welcoming atmosphere and the encouragement from both the staff and fellow gym-goers make it a great place to achieve your fitness goals and stay consistent with your training, while having fun and pushing you out of your comfort zone !

They always say, "find your thing and what works for you," and for me, Gas Station fits into my life and definitely works. Highly recommend!

The best gym in Windsor, great people and it just works!

As we head into the Summer Holidays we want to remind you that we offer a home workout program through NCFIT. Don't lose your gains.

We're starting our 'That's Good To Know' series.

Let's begin with common terminology you'll hear and see if you're a part of Gas Station Fitness.

Just started training with Gas Station Windsor a couple of weeks ago and already loving it! Joined to get me ready for my first Hyrox in October but I can definitely see myself continuing training with Gas Station after October. Such a great community and pushes my workouts in a way I can't do when training on my own! Definitely recommend!

Massive shout out to .lane_ for their dedication and hard work! After being consistent in a local gym, Cara came to us with the aim of really wanting to shake things up with the goal of challenging herself. Cara has definitley done that as we can see in the inbody scan results. Cara is stronger and fitter and has competitions coming up this year! We're sending all our support.
