Gone are the days when pumping iron or running on the treadmill at the gym was considered the best way to keep fit. Today, experts agree that any activity which employs the body as a whole, gets your heart pumping faster and leaves you feeling rejuvenated is good for both your mind and body. Although it\u2019s important to take part in some physical activity, it\u2019s equally important to understand the limits of your body and to adjust your routine accordingly or to take a much needed break. Contrary to popular imagination, pushing your body to give you results when it\u2019s almost near breaking point will not only decrease your overall strength but also lead to an increase in fat storage. What are the warning signals that should never be ignored?
\n– Persistent muscle ache or joint pain.
\n– Any muscle inflammation.
\n– Fatigue or exhaustion that lasts through the day.
\n– Nagging headaches.
\n– Reduced immunity to flu or other illnesses.
\n– Decreased appetite.
\n– Disinterest in the workout routine.
\n– Inability to complete the workout itself.
\nIf you experience any of these signs, it\u2019s your body\u2019s way of telling you to get some rest! After all, your body needs to recover from all that hard work too. So, what can you do to avoid burning yourself out?
\n– If you are taking up a new workout regime, it\u2019s important to take it slow. Building up stamina and endurance to make your workouts even more effective, takes time.
\n– It\u2019s a good thing to mix things up a bit. Why not try something lighter like going for a walk in the park? This keeps you motivated and lowers any stress on your body too.
\n– A good warm-up routine is frequently overlooked but is vital for a good workout. It helps to prepare your body for the real workout and reduces the risk of injuries too.
\n– Eat a healthy snack before your workout. Drinking a protein shake, having a light sandwich or even a banana will give you the fuel you need for a good martial arts training<\/a> session. Likewise, don\u2019t forget to have a balanced snack after your workout as well.
\n– Getting your 8 hours of sleep can work wonders when you\u2019re training hard. While you sleep, your body repairs itself and gets ready for the new day ahead.
\nSo, the next time, you feel like watching a movie or walking your dog instead of working out, it\u2019s wiser to listen to what your body tells you.\u00a0 In the end it’s all about finding the right balance best exercise, rest, and healthy eating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Of course then I was in primary school and martial arts was mainly for fun, but over time I became more serious about my training. In 1992 I started teaching, and by 1998 I had opened my own club. Over the next few years the club continued to grow opening in more locations and adding more classes at the old locations. These were of course old school and church halls, and teaching children of all levels and ages together, and adults of all levels together. As the club continued to grow I started to feel that there had to be a better way to teach - you would never put year one and year seven students in the same class at school, so why did we do it teaching martial arts. Of course you wouldn't expect them to learn the same things either. I also felt that adults weren't getting all they could from the classes in a one size fits all format. In addition to this, I wanted to take a more holistic approach to training, looking at all aspects of physical and mental health. In 2002 I decided the way forward was a full-time facility that could integrate all these aspects of health, and that would allow classes to be split by age and experience level. It took two years and a couple of false starts to find the right location, and in late 2004 work started on BTC. In 2011 we purchased and custom fitted our own building. Since then the centre has continued to go from strength to strength and developed a solid reputation as a leader in the martial arts and sports industry. We have also managed to maintain a friendly family orientated and social atmosphere within the club. My personal background was originally in martial arts, although I formally studied Science at QUT. Over the years I broadened both my martial arts knowledge and general knowledge of health and well being. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals and exceed their every expectation. I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet & nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.
