Ladies Lifestyle Health & Fitness

Catering for ladies only and designed to focus on minimum workouts of less than 35minutes per session.

For most adults, exercising between 30 and 45 minutes a day is enough to gain the benefits of exercise.

It is quite common for fitness newcomers to fall prey to overtraining – a condition in which your body at best hits a plateau and at worst enters a full-blown catabolic state.

Determining where to set a balance is a necessary part of maintaining great health. Catabolism is breaking down within living organisms of complex tissues into simpler tissues, and it happens as a result of a negative nitrogen balance in the body. For anyone who is trying to burn fat and increase lean muscle mass, the situation is one that should be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, many gym-goers are completely oblivious to the concept of catabolism and what it does to the body.

This destructive catabolic state occurs primarily due to the hormone cortisol. This steroidal hormone is naturally released by the adrenal gland during states of high physical and mental stress. While it is a completely normal function of the body, excess cortisol release can have a drastic negative impact on the body. It can lead to the weakening of joints and osteoporosis as well as a fat increase in the abdominal region. Cortisol primarily harms the body in three ways:

Breaking Down Tissues and Canceling Potential Growth

Converting Protein to Glucose

Reducing the Body’s Protein Synthesis Abilities

The most common cause of excess cortisol release in physically active individuals is lack of rest. Strength training and intense aerobic activity also lead to microscopic tearing in the muscle fibres, and the muscles cannot heal and grow without proper rest. This is a major pitfall in the world of bodybuilding, particularly for amateurs who are new to the endeavour and want to spend hours upon hours in the gym.
