How do I book in for my MOT?

studioEH1’s MOT is a complimentary service for all clients – yes it’s FREE!

 

Simply call or email to make your initial MOT appointment. This can be carried out before your Power Plate® session, as long as there is another Trainer available in the studio (please check in advance). Your first appointment will take approximately 10mins and you should avoid eating and exercising two hours before this. We will give you, your own printed out results there and then and explain what they mean, and we will also keep an on-going record of your results so we can monitor your progress.

We recommend bi-monthly MOTs

studioEH1 Food, Drink & Mood Diary

For those looking to lose a few extra inches off the waistline, as part of the MOT, the studioEH1 Food, Drink & Mood Diary is an added benefit. Research shows if you record what you eat, drink and how much exercise you do – it makes you accountable to yourself and to one of studioEH1’s Trainers if you want some help regards to your nutrition.

It will help you to:

  • Identify bad eating patterns and habits, like skipping breakfast

  • Become aware of situations, feelings & thoughts that make you eat more than you had planned to

  • Plan to be more active on a daily basis

  • Gives you something to look back on to see how much you’ve improved!

SEROTONIN – THE MOLECULE OF HAPPINESS!

SEROTONIN – THE MOLECULE OF HAPPINESS!Research shows that Power Plate® stimulates the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter which has various functions including the regulation of mood, sleep and appetite. So, to capitalise on this you want to top up on serotonin-enhancing foods!

 

MOOD LIFTERS

A protein called tryptophan is the raw material for serotonin. It has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, which in turn, helps to control levels of the hormone insulin which left unchecked, send signals to the brain to store fat around your tummy. Foods that are rich in tryptophan include:
Cottage cheese; tofu ; soya yogurt; chicken; turkey; lentils, rice, hazelnuts; oats and humous. Eat more of these foods and you’ll boost your mood and help your figure too!

 

MOOD CONVERTORS

Your brain can only convert tryptophan into serotonin if it has a good supply of three key nutrients – zink and vitamins B6 and B3. Pumpkin seeds, chick peas and lean beef are all high in zinc. Vitamin B6 is found in tofu, eggs, peanuts, cod, pork, oats and wheatgerm. And vitamin B3 is found in beef, eggs, pineapple and sweetcorn. Vitamins B6 and B3 will also help you burn calories.

 

MOOD ACTIVATORS

Give your brain a wake-up call by eating lots of omega-3 good fats. These activate the rich supply of serotonin-docking sites in brain cells, without which serotonin can’t work. With plenty of active sites, you will feel the benefits from all the serotonin you’ve been making – your mood will lift and your cravings lessen, making it easier to stick to a healthy balanced sustainable diet. Don’t be tempted to avoid these foods because they’re high in calories, as these good fats also boost your metabolism. Foods rich in omega-3 include: tuna; mackerel; herring; sardines; salmon; eggs; walnuts and flaxseeds.
