World Triathlon Featuring: 2018 ITU WC New Plymouth Women’s Race and Exercising With Children
America’s Kirsten Kasper produced the perfect race execution to claim the title at the New Plymouth World Cup today. It’s been a remarkable start to the year for Kasper with a fourth place in WTS Abu Dhabi, second place in Mooloolaba World Cup and now a convincing win in the New Plymouth ITU World Cup.
Exercising With Children
| By: Addison Jones | |
While there are still many children who remain physically active, there are more and more children that rather surf the Internet or play video games than be involved in physical activity. As technology advances it becomes more entertaining for children and they are becoming less active. Exercise is not only important for adults but it also benefits children in many ways. Ensuring children have enough physical activities throughout the day is very important to their growth and development. Regular physical activity can help prevent chronic diseases and build strong healthy bodies in many ways:
*It will develop muscle strength that will assist in preventing injuries. *It will improve their heart and lung capacities that will help them function more efficiently. This will benefit in day-to-day activities and in controlling blood pressure. *It will assist in keeping their bones strong, which will aid in preventing osteoporosis later on in life. *It will decrease body fat and assist in maintaining a steady, healthy weight. *It will help children expend energy, which helps with weight control. *It can help reduce the risk for Type II Diabetes. Regular physical activity is also essential in developing and perfecting fine and gross motor skills, which are important to coordination, confidence, socialization and academic performance. Exercise doesn’t only benefit children’s physical health and motor skills; it can also benefit their mental health in many ways: *Their self-esteem appears to rise and they gain confidence, feeling comfortable in their own shoes. *It helps reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety due to the physical activity alternating the brains chemistry and increasing the levels of serotonin. *It increases concentration and alertness by releasing endorphins that act on the brain to improve mental focus and cognitive skills. *It helps boost their energy levels by stimulating their circulation and blood flow that deliver oxygen and nutrients to their tissues. *It controls mood swings and improves feelings of happiness! It is mental stimulation that gives children the sense that they have achieved something. In order to achieve results, it is suggested that children take part in some type of physical activity at least 60 minutes every day according to the American Heart Association. Unlike adults, they do not need to follow a specific exercise program to achieve these results. Running, jumping, climbing, playing on the playground, shooting hoops, kicking a soccer ball, riding bikes, etc. are all examples of activities that are sufficient to meet their needs. Going to the pool is another great option that is fun for everyone and can be a great aerobic exercise. They should take part in activities that interest them. Activities at a local YMCA or after school sports can be a fun option. As a parent or leader, you can take part in their physical activity and be a role model. Ask them what they like to do and get the entire family involved. You can let them pick the activity; this makes them feel special! Make sure they have access to active toys like balls, jump ropes, bikes, etc. Making the activity fun and playing as a family will trump the Internet and video games and the child will receive the exercise they need. Teaching children a healthy active lifestyle will benefit them well into the future. It is important to be involved and ensure they have the resources available to be physically active. Making it fun and not too much like a lesson is key with children. If they are doing something they enjoy and are not forced to do it, they are likely not to quit. Regular physical activity is very important for children as their growth, development and mental health depends on it. Exercise on!

Strength and conditioning exercises can not only make you stronger, but also help keep you injury-free and therefore, make you a better athlete, so we've put together a few simple exercises you could fit around your day. This exercise predominantly works your glute muscles and helps get them firing and functioning properly. Now, your glutes are needed for cycling and swimming, but they can be prone to switching off slightly and your hamstrings overcompensating for that weakness. Now, basically, all you need is some floor space, you can do it whilst watching the television, for example. Now, whilst lying on your back with your knees bent, you need to make sure you start by squeezing your glutes and then, just lift your hips up towards the ceiling, keeping your glutes firing the whole way through and then, lower down again gently. If you find that really easy and you're ready to progress, you can take it to doing it with one leg, make sure your hips stay level as you go up and then, lowering back down again. This is a simple exercise and, as a result, can be done pretty much anywhere. So, you could multitask, maybe doing it whilst you're doing the washing up or on the train on your commute to work. To progress it slightly, you can maybe hold at the top to really get those calves firing and then, lower down really slowly or even move it up to one leg at a time and then, if you did want to increase the range of movement, maybe do it on the edge of a step so you can drop your heel down that much lower. This is another exercise you can do in front of the TV and all you need is a bench or a chair with a firm edge and a little bit of space for your legs. Now, as the exercise says, it predominantly works you triceps, but also uses the rest of your shoulder muscles. Basically, all you need to do is lower your body down with your elbows pointing backwards. To make it easier, you can do it with your knees bent. If you want to make it harder, just move your feet slightly further away and have your knees straight. This is an easy exercise to fit into your day. You can maybe do it whilst lying in bed in the morning, having a cup of tea, or just before you go to sleep. You need to be lying on your side with your hips parallel to the wall in front of you with your knees roughly to a 90 degree bend and then, keeping your feet touching, all you need to do is lift your knee up towards the ceiling, keeping your hips level, and then, lowering it back down. It's particularly good for activating glute mead, which sometimes can be prone to switching off or having an imbalance.

These Athletes Always Go For the Trifecta!
Good morning Athletes and Warriors!
It takes a special somebody to take on the Triathlon as a sport and want to be good at it! The levels of fitness have to be at their highest and on demand and the demands of the sport go beyond the three events. Whether you are a budding Olympian or want to be the best Triathlete on your block. Let us show you in custom detail how to finish and maybe even win! -Nate  Triathlon The 12-Week Triathlon Programs focus on developing muscular endurance and strength. The program begins with lower weights and higher repetitions to create a solid conditioning base for the muscles. Then, a transition from this conditioning base into strength by using heavier weights and less reps as the weeks progress will occur. It is ideal to take 48 hours of rest between each weight training session. However, if scheduling makes this hard to do then simply choose the Consecutive Day Plan. With these Triathlon Programs, training with any combination of days is easy! Throughout the length of the Triathlon Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts. The starting point of the program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best. Let's get ready to win!

Built For Comfort and Speed!
Hello Athletes and Warriors!
Possibly one of the most difficult of sports to excel at is the Triathlon. Back in the day meatheads in gyms around the world used to joke about a typical triathlete's body. Like exhibit A:  Nothing necessarily wrong with the example above, but many who didn't know better would call that low body fat percentage and lack of bulk unhealthy. But with advances in the science of sports strength and conditioning, nutrition and lifestyle, the typical triathlete physique has advanced in aesthetic as well as performance in all aspects of the sport:  Whether you are an aspiring Olympian, or looking to look and feel better. Make sure strength is at the cornerstone of your program. Then you can thank our local meatheads for saying you're "built like a triathlete" -Nate Triathlon The 12-Week Triathlon Programs focus on developing muscular endurance and strength.
