Fresher Meals - What is Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP)?

Gym Meals have been on a mission since day one. This mission is as follows: to deliver our customers fresh, not frozen, high-quality, chef-prepared meals that taste great and help a range of people achieve a variety of fitness goals. Producing fresh meals comes with its own, unique set of challenges. One of these challenges is maximising the freshness of meals, so that you get a fresher product, for longer. We've achieved this to-date, with great success, by sourcing the freshest, local ingredients from around Canberra and having our Chefs prepare them only minutes to hours before they are collected from our kitchen,...

How To Get To The Gym And Stay There This Winter

Staying motivated to get to the gym is hard at the best of times, let alone in the dead of winter when the temperature plummets. If you are a morning gym goer, the dark, cold mornings make getting out of bed and getting a sweat on, just that extra bit harder. The warm and cosy comfort of the bed seems much more appealing than the inside of a gym.

How Important Is Sleep For Muscle Growth, Fat Loss and Recovery?

We looked at when more mobility work and static stretching is needed, and when it's probably not. The article provided some essential points to help people navigate the world of warming-up. We learned that we should focus more on warming up the muscles we are about to train, as opposed to just ''warming-up'' in general and elevating our core temperature. So with all that said, what does a good warm-up look like? As mentioned, unless you have specific mobility problems that prevent you getting you...

Warming Up? What You Need To Know

Let's start by defining what a warm-up is. It is accepted that a warm-up is something that you do to prepare your body, physically, for the workout ahead. Some people see this as raising their core temperature and getting a sweat up, i.e., doing a few minutes on a stationary bike or treadmill, that kind of thing. Warming yourself up by raising your core temperature isn't a bad idea,...
