+ What are the best food groups to incorporate in to your meals for gaining weight?
To gain weight you will need to increase your calorie intake. If you are looking to increase muscle mass, you will need to ensure adequate protein intake and good quality carbohydrates and fats.
+What is the best way to burn fat on your thighs?
Increasing lean muscle mass across your entire body will give you the best chance to lose unwanted body fat. The best exercise for targeting the lower body and squats, lunges and deadlifts and all the variations of these movements.
+When I squat my knees hurt a lot is that normal?
You shouldn't have knee pain if you are squatting correctly. Squatting correctly is a difficult movement though, ask a PT to review your technique and give you some tips. Sometimes too much forward progression of the knees can cause some discomfort. This may be due to limited flexibility at the ankle as an example.
+I am pregnant, is it safe to workout?
The level of exercise during pregnancy is usually determined by pre-pregnancy fitness levels. As you've not been exercising recently you need to make sure you follow a more conservative exercise plan and progress things slowly.
We recommend you book in with one of our Personal Trainers. Make sure you ask for one that is trained in Ante & Post Natal. They'll help develop your personal fitness plan.
Spin could be a good option but you would need to tell the instructor your good news and also make sure you monitor your body temperature, not allowing yourself to get too hot. Four weeks general training in the gym would allow you to get your base level of fitness up before your first class.
The key for you is progressing slowly and gradually adding exercise to your lifestyle.
