Many people think that in order to see results in the gym, they need to push themselves to the max every time they train. Doing that can actually promote injuries. Those types of workouts may even make you feel more sluggish after your session then when you started. That’s why it’s important to listen to your body and plan your workouts accordingly.... You shouldn’t be bringing every single set to failure or hitting your 1 Rep Max (1RM) every week . You also shouldn’t be doing HIIT workouts every single day. All these things can put a strain on your central nervous system and your body. It’s important to prioritize rest and to use sets to failure, your HIIT sessions and your 1 rep max sessions accordingly. Here are a few guidelines that can help you: 1. Use your last set of an exercise to go to failure instead of doing every set to failure 2. You should only ever perform your true 1RM 1-3 times a year. 3. It’s recommended to have a day rest in between HIIT workouts and that you do no more than 2-3 a week. If you need help implementing these things in your program or if you're looking to work with a trainer, you can contact us at [email protected] - Your YMCA Personal Trainers

Avis à nos précieux membres Selon la décision prise par la province du Nouveau-Brunswick plus tôt dans la journée, nos deux YMCA resteront ouverts pendant la phase orange récemment annoncée. Le fait de pouvoir rester ouvert signifie que nous devons apporter quelques changements supplémentaires. Dès demain matin (vendredi 20 novembre) : Le port du masque ou de l’écran facial est désormais toujours OBLIGATOIRE dans toutes les zones de notre YMCA. Le port du masque est OBLI...GATOIRE même pendant l'exercice. Les vestiaires ne seront PAS disponibles. Ces 2 stipulations sont requises par la province du Nouveau-Brunswick afin que nous puissions rester ouverts. Elles resteront en place jusqu'à ce que le gouvernement nous informe du contraire. Tous les programmes aquatiques seront mis en pause pendant la phase orange. Cela comprend tous les cours, les leçons de natation, les cours de conditionnement aquatique et les séances de natation publiques. La natation en couloir et la natation thérapeutique pour adultes se poursuivront normalement avec un nombre réduit de participants. La réservation en ligne pour les 4 couloirs sera possible. La natation libre en couloir sera interrompue. Le programme Zone des préados sera interrompu pendant deux semaines. Nos programmes pour les jeunes seront mis en pause à partir du vendredi 20 novembre dans le cadre de la phase orange. Cela comprend le karaté, Bougeons, le basket-ball, Exercices et techniques, Kinder Fun Fit, Copains de jeu et la halte-garderie. Le dépistage actif se poursuivra à nos deux endroits. Nous sommes très heureux de pouvoir rester ouverts pour nos membres et nous vous remercions à l'avance de suivre les nouveaux protocoles alors que nous travaillons tous à nous adapter à notre nouvelle normalité.

Did you know that you can share personal training sessions with someone? There are a few options 1. You can purchase sessions and divide them between the two of you. 2. You can do the 1 hour session together ... It’s a great way to offer sessions as a gift to someone, or to save some money by sharing the cost!
