Fattening Spring

The Gold Coast is in spring season now and I feel really sleepy and I have a big appetite these days.

Why do people feel these ways in spring?

Sleepiness in spring

Our bodies can’t adjust to the change in the temperature between morning and night when the winter season changes into spring.

　　　　　　　↓

Our nervous systems are in disorder.

　　　　　　　↓

The quality of our sleep gets bad.

　　　　　　　↓

We get sleepy in the daytime.

Appetite in spring

We can’t get enough ultraviolet rays to keep our mentality and bodies healthy in spring.

↓

Serotonin which makes us happy is not secreted in our brain so much.

↓

Our nervous systems are in disorder.

　 ↓

We feel stress.

↓

We can’t stop eating.

↓

We gain weight.

Our basal metabolism lowers in spring season, which makes us fat as well.

Doing exercises is recommended to release stress and raise basal metabolism.

Why don’t we exercise together?

We provide 12 Week Body Transformation Program as well.

One of our clients has finished 12 week body transformation and has lost 6.7 kg.

We are so proud of her

Do you know how many calories you are using a day?

Japanese page → 一日の消費カロリーはどれくらい？

Firstly knowing your basal metabolism is fundamental.

Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy required to maintain vital functions in an organism at complete rest.

The calculating formulas are as follows:

Male: 12.397 × weight (kg) + 4.799 × height (cm) – 5.677 × age + 88.362

Female: 9.247 × weight (kg) + 3.098 × height (cm) – 4.33 × age + 447.593

My basal metabolism is around 1250 kcal per day.

Then let’s calculate your approximate daily calorie use!

Choose which one of these below is similar to your lifestyle:

I do not exercise very much: your basal metabolism×1.2
I do light exercises twice a week : your basal metabolism ×1.4
I do moderate exercises 4 days a week: your basal metabolism ×1.55
I do intense exercises almost every day: your basal metabolism ×1.7
I do physical labour every day×1.9

I think my case is 4, so my daily calorie use is 2125 kcal.

If I do not eat more than this many calories in a day, I should be able to keep my weight the same.

I think knowing yourself is important.

1 year milestone at Globe Health Club

28/06/2018ZUMBAGlobe Health Club, Gold Coast, Mayumi Swan, Southport, ZUMBASWAN FITNESS

Japanese page（日本語ページ）→ サウスポートのスポーツジム

I’m working as a ZUMBA instructor at the sports club, Globe Health Club and today is my anniversary for 1 year of work.

This club is on upstairs in Australia Fair Metro, Southport Gold Coast.

The fate between the Globe Health Club and me started interestingly.

The boss found my lesson videos on the internet and contacted me.

Actually I am struggling with English even now however it’s been nearly 7 years since I emigrated from Japan.

My job doesn’t need language so much, but language which is spoken in the country is fundamental on social communication to be accepted by the society.

I was so happy because the owner and boss accepted me looking at my skill, not English in the first place.

Thank you for supporting me every time, all the members and Globe Health Club!!

Monday 5:30-6:30 pm

Thursday 6:30-7:15 pm

Open your workshop on the Gold Coast

03/05/2017health, ZUMBAGold Coast, SWAN FITNESS, ZUMBASWAN FITNESS

A fulfilling time with Masayo finished. She came from Japan and stayed on the Gold Coast for 6 days. (Japanese page 日本語ページ→ゴールドコーストでワークショップを開く)

She has over 15 years fitness instructor experience, teaching ZUMBA, aerobics, Pilates and Yoga in Japan. She is a personal trainer as well.

She not only instructed a few ZUMBA lessons, but also performed at an event with me on the Gold Coast.

She opened a workshop of Pilates as well.

https://youtu.be/jkvmM8ysr74

As lots of special words are used in the class and we wanted to provide infallible information to the participants, we ran it all in Japanese.

We could get some brilliant feedback from the members like ” I feel so much better”, ” It really helped.” and ” I can do these exercises at home too.”

We are planning the next workshop with an interpreter. Look forward to it.

https://youtu.be/eb-AXuL_f0E

I really enjoyed other instructor’s workshop this time.

Why don’t you open your workshop with us when you visit the Gold Coast?

Thanks to Masayo’s visiting, various ideas came up and I could make lots of silly videos too. → Playful Videos

One ZUMBA® instructor came from Melbourne to the GC

16/10/2016ZUMBAMayumi Swan, Southport, SWAN FITNESS, ZUMBASWAN FITNESS

Yesterday one ZUMBA® instructor came from Melbourne to the Gold Coast in the morning (15 Oct 2016).

(Japanese page→ 初心に帰れた日)

I came to know Yuki through Facebook. It’s a small world. One of my assistant members used to join Yuki’s lessons in Melbourne when she had lived in Melbourne and moved to the Gold Coast.

Through the assistant member, Yuki and I connected last year, but we met yesterday for the first time directly.

I’ve never seen a ZUMBA® instructor like Yuki who is eager in pursuing ZUMBA® and has desire to improve herself before, which made me go back to basics.

Thanks for sharing fun time even though there was a sudden room changing, everyone!!

Yuki joined Natsuko’s Freestyle Dance Lesson too.

After the lessons, we had a petite lunch party with beer and spent meaningful time♪

Thanks for everything, Yuki!!
