🔑 The Keys To: Toning 🔑

Toning is a word we hear a lot from customers when we talk about goals and what people would like to achieve!

Firstly, what is toning?! Toning in simple terms is reducing body fat and increasing muscle definition (usually by increasing muscle mass) So in fact, there's very few of us who wouldn't want to be 'more toned' !

But toning up isn’t just about endless reps, chasing the burn or exhausting ourselves—it’s about building lean muscle, reducing body fat, and feeling stronger in your own skin. Here are the main principles to help you achieve a more toned look:

1. Prioritise Resistance Training
Focus on full-body workouts using weights (or bodyweight) for a good proportion of your workouts. Aim for 2–4 sessions per week to build and define muscle.

2. Don’t Skip Cardio
Cardio supports fat loss, helping muscles become more visible. Mix steady-state cardio (like brisk walking or cycling) with intervals for best results.

3. Dial In Your Nutrition
Correctly fuelling our body is extremely important for toning. Protein is key for muscle repair and growth—include a source in every meal. Stay hydrated and aim for a balanced plate with plenty of veggies and healthy carbs. Pay attention to your calorie intake to make sure you aren't overeating

4. Mix Up Your Reps & Sets
For toning, moderate weights with higher reps (8–15 per set) are proven to work best. This helps build lean muscle whilst continuing to burn body fat

5. Prioritise Recovery
Muscles need rest to grow and tone. Get enough sleep, stretch, and don’t be afraid to take a rest day!

6. Stay Consistent & Patient
Progress takes time. Celebrate small wins and enjoy the process—your hard work will pay off! Rome wasn't built in a day!

💡 Instructor Spotlight 💡

Meet Candice!

From coaching on three continents to founding the very first CrossFit gym in the Middle East back in 2011, Candice brings a world of experience (literally!) to The Gym Braunton.

She’s competed internationally in CrossFit for five years, and you’ll definitely spot her passion for functional fitness in her programming and classes here.

Candice says:
“I love teaching movement and how to move. I believe everyone can develop their performance, if they’re prepared to put in the work. It’s commitment that makes working with everyone—from young athletes to pregnant and new mums, and injury rehab to athletes—so much fun!”

Now based in Devon and a mum of three, Candice’s training style might look a little different these days, but she’s still happiest with a barbell in her hands!

Her energy and expertise inspire our whole community and we’re super lucky to have her as part of our community!

Why not come join one of Candice’s classes and see what makes her approach so unique…you won’t regret it! 💪✨

What can you expect?

- Mat-based movements focused on core strength, stability, and posture
- Gentle stretching and controlled breathing to enhance mind-body connection
- Expert guidance on technique in a relaxed, friendly group setting
- Adaptable exercises—perfect for beginners and seasoned participants alike

Who’s it for? Pilates is for everyone! Whether you’re looking to improve posture, recover from injury, support your other training, or simply enjoy a mindful workout, you’ll feel right at home. No experience needed.

Benefits:
✅ Builds deep core strength and stability
✅ Improves posture and flexibility

🌟 HINGE PROGRESSIONS & REGRESSIONS: BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS! 🌟

The hip hinge is a key movement for strength, stability, and everyday function—but it can take practice to get right! Whether you’re a total beginner or ready to add weight, there’s a hinge variation for everyone. The hinge pattern targets your glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. You’ll also feel your grip and upper back working, especially as you add weight.

If you’re just starting or finding hinging tricky, try these regressions:

🔹 Wall Tap Hinge – Stand about 6–12 inches from a wall. Push your hips back until your glutes lightly touch the wall, then return to standing. This helps you learn the hip-back movement without bending your knees too much.

🔹 Split Stance Hinge – Take a stance with one foot slightly in front of the other, with your weight loaded on the front foot. Keep your chest proud and back neutral.

🔹 Stick or Dowel Hinge – Hold a stick along your spine (touching your head, upper back, and tailbone) as you hinge. This keeps your back in a safe, straight position.

🔹 Laying Glute Bridge – Lay flat on your back with knees bent. Push your hips up off the floor with core engaged and the shoulder and feet remaining on the floor

Ready to progress? Move through these variations:

1️⃣ Bodyweight Good Morning – Place your hands behind your head or on your chest, hinge at the hips, and keep your back straight. This can be done seated or standing

2️⃣Kettlebell Deadlift – Hold a weight with straight arm and hinge at the hips, keeping your core braced and allowing the weight to lower to the ground.

3️⃣ Barbell Deadlift – Add a barbell for more resistance once your form is solid.

4️⃣ Single-Leg Variations – Try single-leg hinges for balance and stability challenges.

Training tips:

- Use a mirror to check your form.
- Focus on pushing your hips back, not bending your knees.
- Keep your chest proud and core braced.

Remember: It’s all about quality movement, not how much weight you can lift! If you’re not sure about your form, ask one of our team for feedback. We’re here to help you feel confident and strong. 💪

#thegymbraunton #brauntongym #HipHinge #strengthtraining

We’re always striving to bring the very best to our community here at The Gym Braunton, so last week we headed to ‘Elevate’ fitness trade event at the London Excel arena 🏋️‍♂️

We’re excited to put what we have learnt into action and continue raising the bar for our members! ✨

Anyone who has been with us for more than a few months will know…watch this space for exciting changes on the horizon! 💪

🌟 SQUAT PROGRESSIONS & REGRESSIONS: FIND YOUR STARTING POINT! 🌟

We should all be squatting in some way shape or form! It is one of the most fundamental exercises for our general health.

Squats are a fantastic way to build strength, mobility, and confidence—but we know not everyone feels comfortable jumping straight into a weighted squat! At The Gym Braunton, we meet you where you are, so here are some ways to start (and progress!) your squat journey:

If you’re struggling with bodyweight squats, try these regressions first:

🔹 Partial Squat – If you can’t comfortably squat through a full range of motion, start by squatting to a depth that is comfortable and begin to push deeper as you feel able. Anything is better than nothing!
🔹 Box Squat – Sit back onto a box or bench and stand up again. This helps with balance and teaches good squat depth.
🔹 Supported Squat – Hold onto a sturdy object (like a pole or rings) for support as you lower down. This takes pressure off your knees and helps you focus on form.

Once you’re feeling confident, progress through these variations:

1️⃣ Bodyweight Squat – Focus on depth, knee tracking, and keeping your chest up.
2️⃣ Goblet Squat – Add a dumbbell or kettlebell for resistance.
3️⃣ Barbell Back Squat – Step it up with a barbell once your form is solid.

Once you’re confident you can always try some more advanced variations such as...

- Split squats
- Front squats
- Pistol squats
- Zercher squats

No matter where you’re starting, remember: everyone’s journey is different and progress is progress! If you’re not quite sure, need help with your squat form or want a bit of guidance, our team is always here to support you. 💪

Journey with us as we look back at how far our yoga space has come! Swipe through the years:

1️⃣ Today: Our dedicated 75sqm yoga studio—light, spacious, and designed just for mindful movement and relaxation (and a little bit of Zumba and dancing!💃)

3️⃣ Rewind further: Same room, different era—classic décor, older floors, but still a hub for all things fitness. (featuring some covid boxes!)

4️⃣ 12 years back: Our very first studio, tucked into what’s now our changing rooms. Small, shared, and humble beginnings, but filled with big dreams.

From shared spaces and mixed classes to a purpose-built sanctuary, our yoga community has grown right alongside us. We’re proud to offer a dedicated home for yoga lovers of all levels—total beginners and seasoned regulars alike.

Thanks for being part of our journey and helping shape The Gym Braunton into the welcoming, community-focused space it is today. Here’s to many more years of movement, mindfulness, and memories together!
