Myth Busting Sweat
π« Myth Busting Time! π«
π¦ Myth: Sweating = Weight Loss π¦
π Context: Many believe that the more you sweat during a workout, the more fat you're burning. But hold on, it's not that simple! Let's break it down.
π Fact Check:
1οΈβ£ Sweating is NOT an indicator of fat burn! It's your body's response to heat, influenced by genetics, age, weight, fitness level, and environment.
2οΈβ£ Fat burns because of the exertion, not the sweat. So focus on the quality of your workout, not the quantity of perspiration.
3οΈβ£ The real benefit of sweating? It keeps your body cool and helps your skin by circulating blood and providing nutrients. πββοΈπββοΈ
βοΈAre you ready to sweat? Book a discovery session with Fortify Fitness today.
π Remember, fitness is about science, not sweat! Keep pushing towards your goals with knowledge, and don't fall for the myths. ποΈββοΈπ§

Plyometric Power
𦴠Celebrate Healthy Bones Week with Us! π¦΄
This week, let's dive into the world of strong bones as we celebrate Healthy Bones Week from 17th to 22nd August! π₯πͺ While we've all been told that milk is the ultimate bone booster, let's remember that our bones deserve TLC at every stage of life.
Here are 3 key takeaways to ensure your bones stay strong and resilient:
1οΈβ£ Plyometric Power: Did you know that plyometric exercises can give your bones a boost in density? Jump into activities like box jumps and explosive squats to stimulate bone growth and enhance overall strength.
2οΈβ£ Resistance for Results: Just as muscles thrive on resistance training, your bones love a challenge too. Incorporate resistance exercises like weightlifting into your routine to keep those bones sturdy and ready for action.
3οΈβ£ Foundation First: Before you leap into plyometric training, make sure your joints are up for the adventure. A solid foundation of joint strength and stability is essential. Consult with our experts at Fortify Fitness to ensure you're ready to rock your bone-boosting journey safely.
At Fortify Fitness, we've got your back (and your bones)! Our team collaborates with allied health professionals to create tailored training programs that prioritise your bone health.

π₯ποΈββοΈ Here's why it's important to use bands to warm up before exercise! π₯ποΈββοΈ When it comes to training, preparation is key! We need to ensure our bodies are ready to perform the complex movements that await us. That's where bands come in! π β Increase muscle activation: Bands are an incredible tool to activate those dormant muscles and get them firing on all cylinders. By incorporating bands into your warm-up routine, you'll prime your body for optimal muscle engagement during your workout. πͺ β Decrease incorrect technique: Proper form is crucial for preventing injuries and maximising results. Bands help reinforce correct movement patterns by providing resistance and feedback, guiding you towards executing exercises with precision. π― β Improve overall performance: A solid warm-up with bands can enhance your performance in the gym or on the field. By activating the right muscles and promoting better movement mechanics, you'll experience increased strength, power, and endurance during your workouts. π Save this post for later, so you never forget the benefits of band warm-ups. π Have questions about bands or anything fitness-related?

π₯π« The Myth of Training Every Day: The Power of Balance π«π₯ π Double tap if you agree! π Save this post for later because we're about to bust a common fitness myth and introduce you to a more sustainable approach to training. You don't have to train every day to achieve lasting change! πͺβ¨ ππ The Myth: Many believe that training every single day is the only path to success. But here's the fact: You can achieve incredible results without sacrificing your body's need for rest and recovery. It's all about finding the right balance. βοΈπ― π‘ The Truth: According to the current Physical Activity Guidelines, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity each week. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends a strength training program of at least two non-consecutive days per week, with specific repetition ranges based on individual needs. πποΈββοΈ ποΈββοΈ Training for Success: Engaging in a well-structured strength training program, as recommended by ACSM, will help you achieve your goals without overexerting yourself. Healthy adults should aim for one set of 8 to 12 repetitions, while older adults and frail individuals can benefit from 10 to 15 repetitions. By following this guidance, you'll not only see physical changes but also feel energized, healthy, and strong. πͺπ₯ ππ€ Ask me anything: Curious to learn more about finding the right balance in your training routine?
