Bootcamp Benefits

So training indoors or outside, what are the benefits? Bootcamp in its nature is tough, but yields great results, it involves pushing yourself to your limits, challenging every part of fitness and taking on the elements. Bootcamp training goes ahead rain or shine. Bootcamp sees you battle through cardio thresholds with cross country running, explosive power movements such as hill sprints,a huge variety of lifts, full body lifts and not forgetting training for agility and functional movement, by utilizing press ups, pull ups, climbs, tyre runs and cargo net crawls. The purpose of the training is to make you military fit, to master your fatigue and be able to rise to the physical demands whilst combatting the elements. There is no long rest periods or gentle recovery reps, it’s tough, it’s powerful and it gives great results for those who are willing to give it their all.

Further benefits involve having the ‘tough love trainer’ we all train harder when we have someone telling us to keep going, to push harder and lift quicker. In boot camp you have trainer support, you also have others around you, you can feed off their hard work as they can on yours and one of the biggest benefits is that its training you don’t find in the gym and it helps inspire and energize your own training sessions. It keeps it fresh and interesting, your workouts should evolve with you and always remain challenging. Don’t stick to just one program and let it become stagnant, take part in the upcoming Breadsall Priory Bootcamp and really achieve something this summer.

Breadsall Priory MaxiMuscle Launch

We at Breadsall Priory Leisure Club are proud to announce our new range of protein bars, snack and shakes are now on sale in club.

What is protein?

Protein is an essential nutrient for life, responsible for numerous functions including supporting structural tissues (building tissue, cells and muscle). Proteins are made from a collection of amino acids, up to 20 in total, 8 that are classed as essential, as they are cannot be made within the body and need to be sourced from the diet, and 12 termed as non-essential amino acids. These amino acids can collaborate in a variety of ways, for example their different sizes, structural bonds and their molecular sequence will determine the proteins role and hence the variable functions it has.

Why is protein important for muscle building?

Muscle protein accounts for approximately 50% of the total body protein with the majority being used for muscle structure. Muscle growth relies on adequate proteins being available and this is itself reliant on the balance between protein intake and re-synthesis and protein breakdown; something which scientists call protein balance. To further explain, to achieve muscle growth an individual should combine weight training along with a positive protein balance; meaning that protein intake and synthesis is higher than protein breakdown.

During a heavy weights session your muscles are forced into protein breakdown, with the body splitting the amino acids to be oxidised into energy and/or used to synthesise new protein. Following training, to promote muscle growth this exercise induced protein breakdown needs to be turned around to be positive; Ensuring adequate protein is available supports this adn therefore this is a great time to consume some protein.

As with all things nutrition, as one question is answered, many more arise. You may now see the importance after exercise of protein for muscle building, but you may be now wondering if there is a specific amount or type or protein that provides the best support.
