Cooking a meal, servicing a car, teaching a child to kick a ball or giving your lifestyle an overhaul is not always easy. In fact, it’s a challenge: it takes stamina, perseverance, time and dedication… it takes change –  and you’ve done it! Congratulations! Live in what you’ve accomplished and let it  go deep into your lifestyle. Every time you repeat the activity, you are consolidating the changes you’ve made. Your perception of ‘normal’ will start to shift. We can embrace the change or slip out of it….. What are you going to do?
 
Here’s some tips to help you make the most of your health and fitness reboot:

Start your day in a positive way.

  • Affirm who you are and where you’re headed (read your goals regularly)
  • Eat Breakfast
  • Drink water

Kick start and stay smart

  • Be active every day
  • Work hard and smart – High intensity intervals are ideal!
  • Stretch and relax. Allow your body mind to wind down

Replenish energy spent

  • Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day
  • Two fruit and five serving on vegetables is your foundation
  • Protein sustains  – include it in every meal

The investment you put into your health has guaranteed returns. Many happy returns to you!

Levity Health Centre

According to the dictionary levity means lightness of weight….I wonder …if I walked into a gym called Levity would my pounds fall off…? 

Enough of the Jokes… what is the Levity Health Centre actually about? Why has Coastal Bodies become aligned with it and how can it compliment your training and health?

Below we have the thoughts of one of Levity’s Personal Trainers, Benjamin Weale, after he was asked for a short explanation of Levity.

———-

  “A short article!? Where do I start?”

 In a nutshell, Levity is a one of a kind, truly holistic health centre that encompasses everything from Medicine to Fitness.  It’s a one-stop-shop for health.  I’ve had clients come and have a workout with me, then a massage with one of our therapists, then a consultation with our Medical Doctor / Osteopath.  Sometimes all before 10am.

 The centre is full of practitioners, trainers and therapists that share knowledge and experience and regularly meet to discuss client’s individual cases so that we can provide the most effective results possible in the shortest amount of time. 

 It combines the best of East and West – a tranquil, clean and simple setting that allows clients to feel relaxed and safe while at the same providing the same professionalism that you would expect from a medical centre or physical therapy clinic.

 I personally feel excited going to work knowing that if any of my clients have problems or questions about things that are out of my scope of experience:

 I have a Naturopath who knows more about food than the internet;

  • I have a Medical Doctor that can help with any serious conditions;
  • I have a Musculoskeletal Specialist that can help with any aches or pains;
  • I have a Massage Therapist that has hands of magic;

 And they’re all under the same roof, they care for their clients before their pockets, they all share their knowledge freely and I know that the service they provide is second to none.

 It’s a different place, it’s a novel idea and it works.

Ben.

 So there you have it, Levity in a nutshell. Why not try it for yourself?  Either with a Coastal Bodies Personal Trainer or visit one of Levity’s practitioners and help your body function at its peak.
