Gold Coast Female Personal Trainer Reveals Tips to Long-term Weight Loss

QUEEENSLAND, Australia September, 2012 – With more than 17 million obese Australians in 2012 and analysts predicting that if Aussies continue to gain weight at this rate obesity will reach 80% of the population in 2020*, obesity in the ‘lucky country’ is a serious health issue. But research has found that fitness programs and group therapy are effective methods to lose weight for the long-term and regain health and vitality**. www.nhf.net.au/
 
Carolyn Broomfield, Owner and Certified Trainer of New Horizon Fitness Centre, understands the emotional state behind being overweight because she was in the same boat just a few years ago. Until at the age of 50, Carolyn has travelled the same path as many mothers and grandmothers – always putting others first.  But after a ‘wake up call’ from a friend’s illness, she joined a gym, committed to a personal trainer and lost 30 kilograms in a year. Carolyn, who prides herself on belonging to the middle-age bracket yet being at the peak of her health, is now a certified personal trainer on the Gold Coast who not only helps women lose weight but also supports them emotionally to regain their confidence.
 
“Weight loss is so much about the emotional state so be aware of what you’re feeling and how that affects the ability to control food consumption and stay motivated for exercise,” shares Carolyn. “Your personal trainer should be able to help you create an eating plan with planned and scheduled meal times so you know what to eat and how much to help you stay on track. I also recommend putting in place support mechanisms such as a peer group or back up dietary plan for birthdays and other occasions which are often used as excuses for binge and emotional eating.”
 
New Horizon Fitness Centre provides its Gold Coast personal training members with online resources, newsletters, tips and links to keep the New Horizon Fitness Centre community motivated to lose weight and live a healthy life. Carolyn also provides each of her clients with personally designed training and nutrition programs to ensure they reach their individual goals in a private and non-intimidating environment. www.nhf.net.au/
 
Fitness and weight loss experts agree that better weight loss results are achieved when individuals work under a trainer in individual or group setting. “Weight loss is much easier in a team environment because it provides a feeling of all being in it together and it’s easier to remain committed to a program if there is a social bond with others who have the same commitment. For those people who feel intimidated exercising in front of others, that social bond can still be created by organising to have a cup of tea before or after the exercise routine, or building a relationship with the personal trainer,” says Carolyn.
 
At New Horizon Fitness Centre members can choose from one-on-one training to a walking group, “boost-camp” group fitness programs or resistance training with machines and free weights.
