...KEEP GOING WITH INSPIRATION ...
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Is it from movies like ROCKY?
Did you feel inspired to take on the world after Rockly gave his inspirational talk to his son in Rocky Balboa? Is it from books?
"ITS NOT ABOUT THE BIKE" inspired millions to a whole new level of training and living. Is it from music? Music has the ability to evoke emotion beyond our current state to a new emotional high making us feel we can achieve anything our heart desires or maybe youre an Anthony Robbins fan and live your life trying to "Awaken the Giant Within?"
...Then again maybe you are creating your own change in the world by looking at the man in the mirror and making a change within yourself. We have some amazing members, who have lost a lot of weight and changed their life, and we have members who are training for the single longest day in sport halfway around the world, and we have members who are just trying to make it through each day one workout at a time.
We are all on a pathway to being the best we can be, otherwise we wouldnt be members at the club. Next time you are in the club take a good look around, you may be inspired by the person training next to you, or you maybe the inspiration they are looking for.

.:: REHABILITATION ::. ILIOTIBAIL BAND SYNDROME
Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome is an overuse problem that is often seen in runners, bike riders and triathletes alike. It causes pain on the outside of the knee just above the joint. It rarely gets so bad that it requires surgery, but it can be very bothersome. The discomfort may keep many athletes and other active people from participatingin the activities they enjoy.
The ITB is actually a long tendon. (Tendons connect muscles to bone.). It attaches to a short muscle at the top of the pelvis called the tensor fascia lata. The ITB runs down the side of the thigh and connects to the outside edge of the tibia (shinbone) just below the middle of the knee joint. You can feel the tendon on the outside of your thigh when you tighten your leg mus cles. The ITB crosses over the side of the knee joint, giving added stability to the knee.
...People often end up with ITB syndrome from overdoing their activity. They try to push themselves too far, too fast, and they end up running , walking , or biking more than their body can handle. The repeated strain causes the bursa on the side of the knee to become inflamed. Some experts believe that the problem happ
ens when the knee bows outward. This can happen in runners if their shoes are worn on the outside edge, or if they run on slanted terrain. Others feel that certain foot abnormalities, such as foot pronation, cause ITB syndrome. (Pronation of the foot occurs when the arch flattens and the footrolls in as you walk or run.)Most cases of ITB syndrome can be treated with simple measures.At first, heat, ice, and ultrasound may be used to help calm pain and inflammation. Stretching and strengthening exercises may be used in combination with a knee brace, kneecap taping, or shoe inserts to improve muscle balance and joint alignment of the hip and lower limb. Your physical therapist will probably ask you about your sport activities and may give you tips on your warm up and training schedule, footwear, and choices of terrain. Always remember to STRETCH what you STRENGTHEN and STRENGTHEN what you STRETCH.

One number one seller in the Twist Juice bar is the "BERRY BLAST"
I guess most of you drink it because it tastes good and but did you k
now how good it is for you?
Well thanks to Roger van Zandvoort, our resident Homeopath, we found 
exactly
how good it really is Berries are of course the package plants give their seeds for the journey to growth and therefore contain a lot of growth-stimulating, immune-system stimulating and cell-protecting ingredients with Vitamin C being the one most people know of with anti-oxidants and manganese.
Strawberries, the best known berry in the world due to their bright red colour due to the fact its packed full of antioxidants, like a good red wine. Due to this it might be considered an anti-cancerous fruit. It also prohibits loss of eye-sight in elderly, as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
Blueberries maybe one of the best for antioxidants, with the highest levels found in them. They are better at heart-protecting action even more so than red wine, providing you're only having no more than 2 glasses a day.
Blueberries also improves learning at older age due to its action within the brain and finally they assist in regulating the digestive system.
The antioxydants in Raspberries have a special tendency to protect the human cells against external damage (by free radicals, virusses, bacteria etc.) They are good protection against Candida too. The antioxidant volume is three times higher than that of kiwi fruit and does not dwindle by freezing, unlike the Vitamin C content which does (as it does in any fruit).
Raspberries are best to be eaten fresh and un-modified like all good food.
