Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease which is the leading cause of pain and disability in the elderly. It currently affects around 3.85 million Australians which accounts for about 15% of the population. The most common joints affected include the hips, knees, fingers, toes, ankles, spine and wrists, but can be present in any joint within the body.
Often at the end of my clients initial cardio program, they question me if it is really important that they come back to get a weights program, as they are trying to lose weight, not gain weight. For those of you who know me, you will know I’m very passionate about weight training and the importance of incorporating weight training into a weight loss training program. Therefore my answer to this question is always YES! It is equal to, if not more important for their goals! I cannot stress enough, if you are not currently weight training… you need to start!
1. Several studies have shown that organic Apple Cider Vinegar can help reduce blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity. This is not only beneficial to people that have type 2 diabetes but also anyone looking to lose weight.

When eating out choosing the better options will be the difference between having to make up for it in the gym and falling behind on achieving the results you want. You can never out train a bad diet as playing catch up never works unless you are spending over 6 hours in the gym each day doing high intensity workouts for the entire time!
I don’t believe in “fad” diets or “quick fixes”, I don’t eat 7 meals a day or take supplements. I have found that having 3 good meals a day, eating healthy food from home is working well for me. I don’t restrict myself from going out on the weekends but I do always try to choose better options. (no Macca’s or KFC)
