I WANT THAT BODY Two of the latest additions to the David Lloyd Leisure Aberdeen team couldn’t be better placed to demonstrate to members how to achieve the perfect beach body this summer. Personal trainers Lynne Greig and Donna Petrie have achieved their perfect shape through a combined programme of exercise and nutrition – and they’re on hand to share their body beautiful secrets with David Lloyd Leisure members.
“We encourage them to keep a realistic diet diary, and we take account of their most and least favourite foods. Rather than a quick and temporary fix, these are tips that will help keep that new body for longer.”
Personal trainer Donna, who joined the team last month, explained: “The first step is to set yourself smart, achievable long-term goals in the gym. We encourage short, focussed work-outs with good intensity, including resistance training with weights and fat-burning interval training for the cardio.”
The results speak for themselves. A man who took part in a recent David Lloyd Leisure Aberdeen Lose ‘n’ Shape programme shed an astonishing 20 lbs in only two months. And by attending only two or three sessions a week and eating healthily, an Aberdeen woman recently lost a stone in just six weeks.
While exercise is an important contributor, nutrition accounts for a staggering 80 per cent of the average weight loss, as Lynne explained: “We advise members to eat five small meals a day which has the potential to burn 350 calories alone to increase metabolism. Include a high protein food in each, as well as fruit and veg. Cut down on high GI-carbs, breads, pasta, cereals and starchy foods, and drink plenty of water.
Because qualified personal trainers Donna and Lynne vary exercise programmes every four weeks, they keep work-outs fun and interesting. Want that body? Contact: Lynne or Donna David Lloyd Leisure, Garthdee Road, Aberdeen AB10 7AY T: 01224 321333 www.davidlloyd.co.uk 11
