Here's ANOTHER Reason Why Hall Training Systems Is Oxford's Fat Loss Specialist!


Across the last 20 days I've been supervising the training and nutrition of a local model. This client was referred to me after she wasn't happy with way she looked and has occasionally been turned down work due to her physique and current level of body fat. Knowing how important image is for a model especially for future work and contracts, I placed her on a training program combined with an eating and nutritional plan.
Originally measuring in at 23.06% body fat 20 days ago, she's put in the hard work, listened and implanted the advice and has seen a 3.04% drop in body fat as well as 6.6kgs drop across the last 20 days!
I'd like to congratulate her on her efforts across the last 3 weeks and although her goal is to lose another 4%, with the determination and information she receiving she'll be down to 16% within the next 4-6weeks.

Potassium Helps To Lower Risk Of Stroke By 21%

1 banana typically contains about 440 milligrams of potassium
A recent study published this year has revealed a diet rich in foods that are loaded with potassium can reduce your risk for a stroke by 21% and may also lower your risk of heart disease.

Potassium is an important mineral that is necessary for the body to maintain the balance of pH levels in our body. It is also involved in regulating our blood pressure, bone mass, nervous system, muscle function, and heart, kidney, and adrenal functions.
Potassium deficiency can result in hypokalemia. Symptoms include increase in blood pressure, heart irregularities, hypertension, muscular weakness, muscle cramps and constipation. An early sign of potassium deficiency can be recognised by twitching or cramping of the right side of the body, e.g twitching of the eye.

Here's One Reason Why We're Oxford's Fat Loss Specialist!

It's the end of another successful week with Hall Training Systems and I would like to share a client's fat loss success story.
I was recently referred a client wanting to lose body fat. Upon our initial assessment I briefly looked into their dietary habits and changed one meal... Breakfast. I also noticed she had her belly button pierced so asked her to remove it, as piecing of the navel disrupts total body meridian flow and slows down the rate of fat loss.
As skeptical as she was she went along with it.
Well with only a change to breakfast and the removal of a piercing she has dropped an incredible 2.9% body fat in just 10 Days!

This Week's Top Tip - Implications Of Low Zinc Levels

Based on research, zinc deficiency is probably the most important causes of low testosterone and low fertility scores in males.
Low zinc levels can decrease sperm output, cause testicular shrinkage, reduce testosterone, slow muscle growth, decrease immune function, slow wound healing and create problems with the skin and appetite. With all clients I will always perform what's called a 'zinc challenge', to quickly assess the status of a clients zinc level. In all the years I've been performing the test only 3 people have passed successfully, for the rest an 8 week zinc rebuilding protocol is prescribed to help elevate their body's zinc levels.
We can probably safely assume that the chances of your levels being 'optimum' are rather slim. If this is the case then I usually find an 8 week course of supplementing a good chelated zinc product of around 120mgs per day will do the trick.

Oh and those little white spots on your nails… a sign of zinc deficiency.
