"Mariana got me to my goal weight in only 6 weeks! The workouts are fun and energizing!" Sandy W. North Shore
My name is Claire Scott. I am 24 years old and I have Alternating Hemiplegia of childhood. This is a very rare condition, I am one of 3 people in New Zealand with it. It affects my muscle tone and at times causes my body to go floppy. To anyone unfamiliar with me, it looks like I have had a stroke when I am like this, and I have to use a wheelchair. After a few moments or sometimes hours, I get better.
I have had this condition since I was 2 years old. Just before Christmas, I decided that it would be good for me to improve my posture and muscle tone, so I started working out with Mariana. I have been having 2 sesions a week and workout at home for 1 1/2 hours each day with the exercises Mariana has given me and I can already feel the improvement ! Mariana has a lot of enthusiasm , gives me self confidence and encouragement. I can highly recommend her to everybody!

I am a shy person and not at all comfortable about my weight, I found out about Fitness Togeher by a flyer posted through my door and called up to arrange a consulation.
I found Mariana to be very friendly and helpful , she took took me through a free session at my home which was great and has been monitoring my progress every step of the way, she is full of motivation and knows when to push me to my limits & she joins in the whole session which inspires me to push further. I have developed alot more self confidence and can start to see the results. I have only been with her since beginning of Feb., but am glad as this is the furthest I have got with weight lose.
Thanks!

"I never really enjoyed working out and it has always felt like a chore to me.
?I realized I needed the structure and guidance of a professional trainer, and that?s what brought me here to Fitness Together . During my training sessions with my personal trainer Mariana, I am provided a special focus just for me. Mariana is attentive, has a positive attitude, and is a great motivator. He challenges me weekly in my routines. I have noticed that I am less tired after each workout and more energetic overall. Working with Mariana is hard work but also lots of fun!
She is a great motivator and very committed in helping your achieve your health and fitness goals. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer."

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have found your company. You have helped me change my life and I am very grateful! I know I did the work but knowing that you really care how well each of us does makes all the difference.. at least for me it did. I reached my goal and have been keeping it up.. it feels GREAT!! I went from a size 20 to a size 14 . NEVER thought that would happen. I honestly know I couldn't have gotten back here without you, all the training and guidance and the attitude you two bring every day. I love to tell people that .. if I can do it anybody can!
THANK YOU !!!

Is Exercising Three Times A Week Enough?
Is Exercising Three Times A Week Enough?
It is recommended that adults get a total of 30 minutes of physical activity on most, if not all days of the week.
I suggest that for three or four days this should involve more vigorous exercise lasting at least 30 continuous minutes. "Vigorous" means with your heart rate at around 70-85 per cent of it's maximum (220 beats per minute minus your age). If you simply want to maintain where you are at now, do 30 minutes of activity most days of the week.
If you want to improve fitness, lose weight or tone up, you will need to work harder, incorporating cardio and strength or resistance training into your routine.
Does Low Intensity Exercise Burn Fat?
You probably heard this one a lot: working at around 50-60 per cent of your maximum heart rate burns more fat than a workout at 70-85 per cent needed for boosting fitness.
While low intensity exercises is great for beginners (its low impact and most of the fuel that you burn is fat), exercising at a higher intensity is better for weight loss, because you burn more fat per minute plus a lot more kilojoules.
Should I Exercise On An Empty Stomach?
The theory is that if you don't eat before exercise you body burns fat stores as fuel. But it's not about the type of fuel your body is burning, its how much energy you expend overall.
Working out on an empty stomach you're likely to feel more tired and won't exercise as hard, while eating before exercise may give you more energy for a better workout.
Aim for a meal high in carbs, low in fibre and low in fat three hours before.
Top up carbs about an hour before you exercise - fruit, yoghurt or toasts are good.
Within an hour after exercise, go for a meal of carbs and protein.
