I get asked what do I prefer Cardio or Strength training, the answer all depends on your fitness goals. For me as I am now 50, how I approach my goals I do what is best for me to stay as mobile and strong as possible so its Strength training, I am not ruling out Cardio as this is important to ensure our heart rate is elevated and fitness endurance maintained, so I combine the two not focusing on just one discipline. So at least once a week I will do this type of workout conce...ntrating on the the big compound movements for Chest, back, legs and shoulders. This type of training allows for minimum rest ensuring my heart rate stays elevated and consistent tension on my muscles for strengthening / building thus helping to protect my bones and fingers cross as mobile as I can be without slowing down, that’s the plan anyway 😁👍💪🏋️‍♀️ Here I am performing a Farmers walk a great all round strength exercise, followed by tyre flipping good use of the legs, shoulders, back and core and then the classic shoulder builder the military press. This is just a small part of the workout for demonstration purposes. The complete workout would be : 4 runs Farmers walk 4 runs tyre flip 1 set Military Press x 10 reps 1 set Inverted body weight rows x 10 reps 1 set body weight chest dips & press-ups 10 reps each
Repeat the above a minimum of 4 times 💪🏋️‍♀️

Family Training today. Here we are with our little Noah doing a superset of squat push press (with Noah) then a squat jump.
We are working those legs, shoulders and getting that heart rate nice and elevated. While Noah enjoys it by giggling away 💙👶🏻💪🏻👪#familytrainingti me #fitfam #loveourlittlefamily

Getting outdoors to train this week has been amazing. Getting out in the sunshine to get some vitamin D which helps the body absorb calcium and phosphate from our diet. These minerals are important for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. A lack of vitamin D, known as vitamin D deficiency, can cause bones to become soft and weak, which can lead to bone deformities.
I’m squeezing in a quick workout while Noah naps. Here I am doing a rep ladder 10 dumbbell swing to squat push pr...ess 10 burpees 10 plank builders All the way down from 10-1 A whole body workout and a good heart rate raiser. Grab a set of dumbbells and give it a try! #trainingoutdoors #lovingthesun #workoutmakeseverythingbetter 💪🏻😁☀️

At Hiz & Herz Personal Training we continue to invest in our business and our clients with new equipment, to ensure our clients meet their goals be it weight loss, improved fitness and strength gains. Our new D.A.P ( Dual Assisted Pulley) cable cross over resistance machine arrived over the weekend, along with our new and improved squat and chest press rack and heavier slam ball set. Keen to try out the D.A.P machine was a good excuse to introduce our baby boy Noah to a worko...ut with his Dad and an opportunity to wear his Christmas present to me “Beast” and “Beast in Training” 😁👶🏻🏋️‍♀️, a budding gym rat and Personal Trainer in the making. Here I am performing a low cable chest crossover which targets the Pectoralis Major (upper), Anterior Deltoid and the Biceps Brachii (short head) muscle groups watched on by Noah 👶🏻💙. Our new D.A.P machine targets every upper and Lower muscle groups, which will aid us help our clients meet their improved strength goals, building lean muscle whilst using the correct form and exercise techniques. Any help meeting these type of goals please contact us direct or Nick on 07731405551. #strengthgoals #daddyandsontraining #beastintraining

Me and Noah had a bit of time to ourselves while away this weekend as daddy popped out, so we decide to exercise. In the video we are doing:
1. Baby swings - all over body work but babies love the swiniging motion as they find it fun, Noah spends most the time giggling. 2. Baby Squat Push Press - great for keeping those legs and shoulders strong. 3. Baby Sumo Squats- a good inner and outer thigh toning exercise ... 4. Baby Walking Lunge - again another leg burner. Also all exercises elevate the heart rate so your burning calories and toning up, especially carrying little Noah #mummygains 💪🏻💙👶🏻 Other exercises were added we did 30 min in the end. Exercise is great for you and your baby as they get to see an active parent, babies think it’s fun, you burn calories and tone up, oh and the bonus after the session I find Noah always has a nap! #babymummytraining #motherandson #fitfamily

Today’s workout me and Noah worked our legs so we did an Emom ( every minute on the minute) which here we are doing side squats which Noah is my weigh now sitting at 7kg then onto the seater leg extension. Juggling business and parenthood isn’t easy so involving Noah into training is a great way to fit it in and get involved as all babies love a cuddle with there parents. #mummyandsontraining #fitfamily#noexcuses 💙👶🏻❤️👪💪🏻

So today our tractor tyre arrived thanks to Adam Palmer. A great addition to our strength equipment, a great way of working multiple muscle groups, increasing strength and muscle endurance. Also gives you a good cardio workout 🏋️‍♀️💪🏃🏽. With the weather being so mild I couldn’t wait to try it out and add to my strength routine, always a good idea to change the way you train to shock the body, prevent boredom especially if experiencing any plateaus and keep you motivated with ...new challenges.
If you want help with motivation, plateaus or simply want to start strength training using back to basic techniques or any other form of exercise. Please message on our FB page or Nick on 07731405551. It’s never too late to start I’m stilll going strong at 50 😂💪🏋️‍♀️ #strengthtraining #nevertooold #tractortyretraining #backtobasics

Nick runs a weekly bootcamp. When I hear "bootcamp" I think uber toned fitness fanatics but this isn't like that. It's attended by about a dozen lovely people who are trying to improve their general fitness with Nick's help. Some of us are overweight and out of shape and trying to put that right over time. Everyone is supportive. Nick mixes it up each week with a variety of cardio and strength exercises, solo and team work. It's outside, come shine or shine (thank you summer of '18) with plenty of shade so not too hot.

Lydia is outstanding in her approach to fitness ,nutrition and long term goals. Having been a client of hers for more than two years I feel strong , changed my body shape and above all learnt what to eat to improve my training and my overall lifestyle. I lost 24 pounds and above anything else have kept the right measurements. Can't thank her enough!!

Lydia has been my personal trainer for over 3 years now. In that time, I've gone from barely being able to do a burpee and never EVER running to completing multiple obstacle course races and falling in love with training. Goal orientated in her approach, Lydia will devise training plans that will kick your arse, while providing endless motivation to ensure you never lose sight of your end goal.

Lydia and Nick are the best trainer team to meet your goals and are very approachable and understanding of individual needs. I love my PT/HIIT sessions with them and the nutritional advice has been invaluable. Thank you both x

I've been training with Nick Buxton PT and Lydia Palmer PT for over 6 months. Both of them are wonderful people... professional, thoughtful and encouraging. They are very organized; planning sessions to achieve my personal goals. Whether you're looking to lose weight, tone up or get fit for a sport, I'd recommend Nick and Lydia 100%!

I train with Lydia. She is so helpful with everything, if I am stuck on goods I can contact her and she will always reply. She makes training so much fun and is always encouraging. Thank you Lydz x

I have been training with Nick and following Lydia’s food plan since the start of Feb. I have lost 1.5 stone in weight and begun to tone to a much better shape. Nick & Lydia are enthusiastic supporters and each session is varied yet challenging. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with them both and have been delighted with the end results.

I have been doing pilates on a regular basis with Lydia for about 5 months now and really enjoy every session.

My flexibility and strength have improved immensely.Thank you Lydia for all your encouragement!

Bespoke training sessions which are no problem to get up at 6am for!!! And the feeling after a session is all worthwhile. My stamina has increased and body shape certainly improving.
