EA CIRCUITS is a unisex class, for both males and females, and its a real battle of the sexes. We've seen many ego's destroyed, so you have been warned boys. Recommencing Wed 30th 6:30pm New Ross Youth Centre

Preparation never ends! More new exercises and variations on the way, to provide you with the most varied and comprehensive workout in 1 single hour you can experience... .....and we ain't finished yet. #eacircuits Wed 30th Aug 6:30pm

We want everyone to try #eacircuits, preconceived opinions of how outrageously challenging or tough this class is, are just that, without any foundation. Make up your own mind, try it for yourself. We are professional in what we do, qualified and vastly experienced. Our objective is always to present the best possible class every time, surpass expectations, and ensure you get a proper exercise experience. We don’t believe in fads or gimmicks. We don’t deceive or make false promises. We do this because we are motivated by our participants, and passionate about what we do. YOU ARE PROMISED & GUARANTEED THE BEST 1HR WORKOUT AVAILABLE. Outlined below are some advice notes for those of you intending on coming along, or a reminder for the regular. Please take a little time to read them. Tip 01: GYM ATTIRE Support / cushioned trainers, with good grip Light training gear, t shirt & shorts or leggings. Avoid cotton. Sweatshirt / hoodie for afterwards. Tip 02: WHAT TO BRING? PLEASE bring a towel. It’s in the interest of your fellow participants, hygiene and safety. No one wants to exercise or slip in your sweat. Bring at least 1L of Water. There is a small kitchenette at the facility where you can replenish a water container if required. (We don’t recommend wearing jewellery, it may get lost, become damaged during the class or cause injury). Tip 03: WHEN TO EAT If you are attending the class do not eat a large meal beforehand. Smaller and more frequent is recommended. We would not advise eating after 4pm pre the class, but a light snack as a pick me up if needed is okay. Exercising in this class on a full tummy is not a very nice experience. Tip 04: BE EARLY ‘Warm Up’, it’s a critical part of any exercise plan & the most important reason for doing a warm up is to prevent injury during exercise. By being late or missing the warm up you increase your chances of injury. Class Warm Up commences 6:30pm sharp. Tip 05: INJURY We don’t need to tell you to have some sense. This class is not for you if you are injured. You will not get the full benefits of the class, or you will more than likely exacerbate your injury, or prolong it. Tip 06: BACK PROBLEMS You will be asked if you have any back or spinal problems immediately pre entry. If you do, you must present a medical doctors cert for clearance. We have and will refuse entry if you do not have this cert. Refusal is as embarrassing for the client as it is for us. Tip 06: PREGNANCY You must advise the instructors, discretion is assured. Many exercise experienced ladies have participated safely in this class throughout their pregnancy. If you are pregnant and considering to commence EA Circuits as your first and only exercise program, it may not be suitable for you. Consult your GP & get a medical clearance cert, we will request it. Some useful info http://www.irishhealth.com/article.html?id=377 Tip 07: EXERCISE & DIET They go hand in hand If you expect to exercise on a very calorie restrictive diet indefinitely, you may initially see great results but it is neither sustainable physically or mentally. You will burn out. Be wise, commit, be determined, give it some effort; but don’t do this for punishment or out of guilt, accept there shall be good and bad days. This is a very effective class & will facilitate you in achieving your goals. Eat Wholesome, Healthy & Plenty. Tip 08: MUSCULAR SORENESS (DOMS - Delayed Onset Muscular Soreness) Yes you will experience muscular soreness post exercise. Most likely in the 12 to 48hrs afterwards, it is to be expected. DOMS can occur anywhere in the body that has been exposed to unfamiliar physical activity. You will have worked all your muscles through their natural full range of movement. (If you want to develop muscle condition the most effective way is to move it through its full joint action like it is intended) This soreness will subside, and can be alleviated by light activity, something as simple as a brisk 20 to 30 minute walk, the day(s) after your workout. Drink plenty of water. The worst thing you can do is do nothing, and sit in fear. Your first experience of DOMS might be something you will not forget, but like everything you will quickly overcome this as you become accustomed and conditioned to exercise Tip 09: FUN Above all have some, and remember your profanities are endearing.

*RECOMMENCING* WED 30th AUGUST @ 6:30PM YOUTH CENTRE Cardio or Resistance (Weight / Strength) Training?? Let’s debunk a myth - weights make females bulky - WRONG If you wish to develop muscle, shape it, tone it, you work it specifically by utilizing resistance / weight / strength training techniques. To develop muscle you work it through its full range of joint action, correct technique that’s very important. Resistance training stimulates muscle development. The more muscle you develop, the more metabolically active you become, increasing your bodies metabolism and therefore its capacity to burn calories (even at rest). So resistance training is specific to the muscle groups being exercised. (To put it simply, all lower limb exercise will not development upper body). Cardio burns calories we hear and indeed YES it does, lots. Let’s give it its full title Cardiovascular Endurance. Cardio burns calories because it can be sustained for long periods, hours on end even…… that’s endurance. This should make it a little more clear for you. Cardio is primarily and specifically working your heart muscle and lungs, ie helping improve the efficiency of your circulatory system (and they aint about to give up on you). Your body has an incredible store of calories in sugar and fat to keep you going. NOTE: Interestingly a lot of us still believe that cardio is the route for getting the desired toned and developed muscle appearance. Well sorry to say but you are WRONG. Cardio can be effective for weight loss, its a simple equation, if calorie expenditure exceeds calorie intake, the net result will be a loss. To repeat cardio is great for your heart (its primary function) it ups the ante on caloric expenditure and improves the health of your heart, blood vessels, brain tissues, and other vital organs. It will however only do a little towards toning skeletal muscles. I get asked regularly... Which should you do first in a workout, cardio or resistance? I ask..... “What is your focus?” and more than often the response is …….”I want to tone up”. Exercise “specific” towards what you want to improve, in this case therefore it would be resistance exercise. But in short, for best overall exercise results (and you will read this everywhere), combine cardio and resistance in your routines. You’ll increase your capacity to burn calories, elevate your metabolism, and look your best, and above all feel great. What do we do at #eacircuits .......... WE COMBINE!
