Hi <<First Name>>

At Strength For You we like to reward our clients commitment and hard work. As many of our weight loss client’s goals are timed around a summer based deadline we have decided to help you all ramp up your training in the countdown to summer. Strength For You are offering six weeks of outdoor group training at no charge – yes that is FREE!

With 12 seasons of AFL experience Valeri is the expert in player preparation:strength and conditioning, injury prevention, speed development and rehabilitation. Here is a taste of what his players have to say about him.

“Valeri has taken me to levels of strength that I had not reached in my previous ten years at the club and has continually moved with the trends of the game to find the perfect balance between strength and player’s aerobic capacity. Valeri was also instrumental in the rehabilitation of my hamstring injury. During that period he would go to any extreme to get the best possible outcome for me.”
Matthew Lloyd, Essendon FC, 1995 - 2009

“Valeri was very influential in my career. When Valeri joined the Hawthorn FC he had a major impact on my fitness with all of my weight training levels increasing as well as my sprint times  and recovery abilities. Valeri also introduced me to specific forms of exercise which assist in peak performance and recovery, such as meditation, Buteyko breathing and yoga”
Angelo Lekkas, Hawthorn FC, 1993 - 2005

Stir Fried Cavolo Nero
Cavolo nero (akaTuscan kale) seems to be the hip and trendy vegetable of the year so it is easy to source at the local supermarket. A member of the cabbage family it is definite “super food”. 1 cup of kale supplies more than 70% of the RDI of vitamin C, with only 20 calories! This stir fry is a great side dish to serve with rice and lean beef.

A common question asked by my early morning clients is whether they should eat before training or if it is better to train on an empty stomach. This is a very individual choice, just ask around the gym in the morning and you will find people that swear by training on an empty stomach and those that don’t leave the house without a full breakfast. This is what I think.

Most clients, especially those new to exercise, will benefit from having a very small meal before their session. I usually recommend something light and easily digested such as a small glass of fruit juice, 1 piece of toast/bread with jam or honey or a small piece of fruit at least 30min before training. Having this small snack will help avoid a sudden drop in blood sugar levels which often results in clients feeling nauseated and light headed once into their training session. The benefits of being able to train at a higher intensity far outweigh any myth about burning fat in a fasted state.
