We've all been there: countless crash diets and each one ends with more weight than before thanks to the yo-yo effect. Many dieters eat less and less, but the pounds don't come off. Most people in this situation have long since stopped enjoying food. Added to this is the lack of exercise due to the lack of sports programmes for this target group. With Top-Forming, SWG offers a special weight loss programme tailored to this target group at the Ringallee swimming centre. This programme integrates sensibly dosed exercise with nutritional advice.
In the 10-week group course, Kirstin Ellert imparts nutritional knowledge and brings the participants up to date with the latest nutritional science: whereas in the past the focus was on fats as fattening agents, today there are more and more studies that show that an abundance of carbohydrates in the form of starch and sugar favours obesity and diet-related illnesses. This is why Kirstin Ellert also considers the glycaemic index (glyx) and glycaemic load (carbohydrate content) in addition to fat quality. After all, they determine how much of the fattening hormone insulin is produced.
The sports programme in the Aqua-Gym pool (= the new fitness studio under water) ensures a high energy turnover and boosts the metabolism and fat burning. The highly efficient training is easy on the joints and increases well-being. In combination with nutritional counselling, aqua gym is ideal for anyone who wants to reduce their weight. Participants must be able to swim to take part in underwater equipment training.
Great results:
Results of the scientific evaluation as part of a bachelor's thesis at the University of Giessen: Before Top Forming, around 63% of participants (TN) complained of back and joint pain, diabetes and other illnesses. More than half of the illnesses improved significantly as a result of Top Forming. The well-being of 90% of those surveyed has improved. On average, the participants achieved 75% of their goals. 99% of respondents have changed their eating and nutritional behaviour. The average weight loss was 7kg in 10 weeks.
