Xcel Fitness Manukau

Our Member Spotlight is shining on our girl ✨Billy-Jean✨ this week 😍

Billy has been with us since the start of July and hasn’t skipped a beat since!

She was brand new to the gym scene when she started here but is now one of our beautiful regular faces here at Xcel Fitness Manukau.

We’ve seen her confidence grow as the months have passed and she is making massive strides towards her goals 🍑🙊

Billy also gave us some awesome feedback saying that she loves it here because although she was a beginner when she joined up, she never felt like she was being stared at or judged by anyone at the gym 👌

Billy is definitely a testament to what putting your head down and getting the work done looks like.

Keep it up gf! You’re doing amazingly!

✨BE KIND TO YOUR MIND✨

We’re halfway through Mental Health Awareness Week here in Aotearoa and it’s a great opportunity to shine a spotlight on the many ways moving your body can positively contribute to your mental health.

If you didn’t know, moving your tinana (body) regularly can:

😁 Improve your mood and reduce stress

💅🏽Boost your self-esteem

😴 Help improve your sleep

💪 Contribute positively to your overall well-being

PLUS so much more!

This week, make it a point to get out and move your body in a way that feels good for you, whether that’s here at the gym or out in this beautiful sunny weather we’ve been having lately ☀️ and notice the difference within your body and mind 😌

 The Stair Master 😮‍💨

Whether you love or hate it - it’s a piece of equipment that will seriously🔥BURN🔥 your legs AND calories.

If you’ve been needing a reason to try it out, here’s a few:

1. Cardiovascular Benefits 🏃🏽‍♀️
Using the stair master machine can elevate your heart rate, improving cardiovascular endurance and stamina. It offers a high-intensity workout that burns calories and helps with weight loss.

2. Lower Body Strength 🍑
The stair master primarily targets the lower body muscles, including the quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. It helps to tone and strengthen these muscles, leading to improved leg strength and definition.

3. Low-Impact Exercise 💪
Unlike running or jumping exercises, the stair master is a low-impact workout that puts less stress on the joints. This makes it a suitable option for individuals with joint issues or those recovering from injuries

Remember to maintain proper form while using the stair master machine. Keep your back straight, engage your core, and use the handrails for balance if needed.

We have two of these bad boys here at the gym. Come and take ‘em for a spin!

Stop procrastinating and take the leap 👊

You can either keep putting things off indefinitely or make TODAY the day you begin your journey towards your goals.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

And we all know that being a newbie is scary but there is so much power in feeling the fear and doing it anyway 💥

You got this and we here at Xcel Fitness are cheering you on!
