Vivian Reijs A N
I N T E RV I E W
Vivian Reijs is a well-known Dutch orthomolecular nutrition coach, weight consultant and hormone trainer. Many of us strive to live a healthy live, but nowadays it´s hard to know what is, and what isn´t ´healthy´. How does Vivian think about this? What do health and good food mean to her?
HEALTH HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR LIFE FOR YEARS NOW AND YOU ARE WAY AHEAD OF TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY. HOW AND WHY DID YOU BEGIN WITH CHOOSING AND EXCLUDING CERTAIN PRODUCTS?
“15 years ago I started with becoming more aware of what I was eating and 8 years ago I started with education and studies about food and nutrition. I noticed I wanted to do something with this: helping people to make the right choices. That’s exactly why I started with VivOnline three years ago: my health platform. We can easily help our followers to become and feel healthy, happy and fitter.”
VIVONLINE REPRESENTS SUGAR FREE, DAIRY FREE, WHEAT FREE, E-NUMBER FREE AND THE 80/20 RULE. HEALTHY, HAPPY AND SLIMMER! EXPLAIN TO US, WHAT DOES ‘HEALTHY’ MEAN TO YOU?
“Healthier for me, is all about making choices based on me. Conscious choices. It’s about choosing what’s best for your body and to take a close look at all of the facets of health: sports, nutrition, behaviour and your mindset. To have that all balanced out.”
6
W I T H
“The 80/20 rule makes it possible for me to choose for french fries, a piece of chocolate now and then but still to have my nutrition based on vegetables. I don’t like cheat days, I like moments of fun. When the occasion appears I want to be able to choose for a delicious pastry, or a piece of cake or something like that.”
MANY DIETS FAIL AND VERY FEW PEOPLE STAY ON TRACK. IT CAUSES RESISTANCE: WE KEEP TELLING EACH OTHER TO JUST EAT RIGHT AND TO NOT BE SO HARD ON OURSELVES. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
“My advice would never be anything like a diet. I rather tell you to listen to yourself. I want people to learn to listen to their bodies. I personally choose for as little dairy as possible, but I want a cappuccino every day. I choose for that cappuccino, because I really love it. If you have many complaints, like stomachaches, less energy or many headaches, you can try to temporarily exclude or reduce some nutrition sources to see if you react to that.” “I really believe people should triple the amount of vegetables they are used to and everyone should choose for way less nutrition from packages. A good night sleep is also something to take serious for your health! Healthy choices are not supposed to be difficult.” MORE VIVIAN? Check her website www.VivOnline.com and get to know her!

EMMA BARRY & STEVEN RENATA “OUR VERY FIRST DUTCH MEMORIES? THE PROGRAM TRAINING THAT NEARLY DIDN’T FINISH.”
“As we pack our bags to head over to Europe, Steven and I reflect on our first moments with the Dutch team back in 1997. We realized we were lucky to be coming at all! Our start was shaky to say the least.” “Fresh from launching BODYPUMP in Australia where the freestyle aerobics culture was at its peak, Italy where everyone smoked in the breaks and Germany where they demanded a week-long anatomy & exercise physiology course supported by an encyclopedia, we were beaten up by the time we arrived on Dutch soil, but ready to start the chain reaction we had witnessed elsewhere.” “We have the flamboyant and outspoken efforts of Hector Ponce Cortegana to thank after returning from World IDEA begging Derk (van ‘t Sant) and Ramon (Klaassen) at HDD GROUP to look at this new program called BODYPUMP and to bring in the best Trainers to try it.”
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIRST PROGRAM TRAINING • • • • • •

As usual, no one wanted to be there. There were the usual hassles shipping barbells from New Zealand. The technique was bad and the weights were light. There were more questions than answers. There was more talking than doing. Freestyle instructors pushed back based on the key elements and the science.
• Every track was re-choreographed. • Patrick (Nahafahik) and Arthur (Rijker) were the most hard to convince, but then became our biggest advocates. • No-one liked receiving feedback, especially via video. We just said what everyone else was thinking. • We finished the Program Training with a round the room discussion, a tool we used to help with buy-in and this turned into a hate-fest. We heard all the reasons this would never work in The Netherlands.

WHY YOU NEED
TO LOVE YOUR REP
Whether you’re already in a love/hate relationship or thinking about making that commitment, science shows your reps are worth the work.
says yes. It is proven that fatiguing your muscles is what creates results – whether you’re lifting light weights for lots of reps or heavy weights for less.
You’re in a BODYPUMP class and you might be bicep-curling 2.5 kgs. You think back to the guys curling 20 kgs on the gym floor and wonder why your light weights hurt so much. You can feel they’re doing something. You can even see they’re doing something. But how does so little do so much?
The BODYPUMP blueprint includes various manipulations of the standard rep, so you can fatigue your muscles faster, and more effectively, than ever.
BODYPUMP is built on the personal experience of athletes rather than research. Lucky for us all, it’s turned out to be one in the same. If you ever wonder whether lifting light weights is doing as much as it could, science
Changing the speed of a rep forces your muscles to recruit different fiber types. Super slow tempos target the deeper fibers, known as type 1 fibers, while fast contractions recruit what is known as type 2 fibers.
The rep modifications include:
VARIED REP TEMPO
RANGE MANIPULATION
Performing half reps (also known as bottom or top halves) creates a sealing effect on the muscle and starves the muscle of oxygen by avoiding the relief you get at the top of the movement. This enables you to reach a point of fatigue faster even if you’re only using a light weight.
SEQUENCING TARGETS Targeting specific muscles allows us to selectively fatigue one group and then move onto another. This creates an overall fatigue effect as each muscle unit contributes to the general fatigued state. This also raises metabolism and continues to burn calories after the session has finished.
Now this is why you need to love your rep. If you’re seeing a lot of them – in all shapes and sizes – you’re going to get results. This is The Rep Effect. When the 100th release of BODYPUMP hits clubs on 14 January 2017 you’ll be able to experience The Rep Effect like never before. With over 1.000 reps and a massive focus on power and intensity, BODYPUMP 100 will push you to your limits. Find out more at bodypump.com. Keen to work out with BODYPUMP now?

“People loved group fitness but wanted something more athletic than the stereotypical ‘leotards and legwarmers’ class.” Phillip Mills
The benefits of strength training on fitness and functionality meant the class quickly became so popular that the amount of dumbbells needed made the whole thing almost unfeasible. This issue created the first step that took a simple dumbbell class towards the global phenomenon that is BODYPUMP today. With his wife Jackie, also a former New Zealand athlete and gymnast, Phillip created a group barbell class as a more efficient system to deliver all the benefits of strength training. BODYPUMP FOR EVERY BODY It was also during this time that feminism was taking off in New Zealand. Women were chasing strength and empowerment not only metaphorically, but physically as well. “We wanted to break the stigma that women couldn’t, or shouldn’t, weight train.” DR JACKIE MILLS. Jackie knew weight training was perceived as ‘masculine’ exercise that created large, bulky, muscular bodies. She had been incorporating weight training into her exercise throughout her gymnastic career and knew that the right type of strength training could create a strong lean body. 12
BODYPUMP was developed to accommodate men and women, of all ages and fitness levels, by providing a workout that was effective for everyone. The relatively light weights, used for a high number of repetitions, meant this class did not discriminate. Championing “strong is the new skinny” well before its time, Jackie and Phillip emphasized the gains involved in strength training; from cardiovascular health to joint functionality to hormone responses. This type of training also produced incredible shape, in both men and women, with lean, toned muscles and longevity of results. Participants soon realized that weight training in a group environment accompanied by great music, and led by a motivating coach, was more fun than a traditional weights workout. With so much goodness packed into one class BODYPUMP quickly shot into the international fitness stratosphere. Other clubs began requesting the rights to license BODYPUMP – first in New Zealand and Australia, then the United States and Europe. Now BODYPUMP can be found in more than 15.000 health clubs around the world.
BODYPUMP LEARNING AND TEACHING Ensuring BODYPUMP continued as a world class workout meant living on the frontline of global fitness research and trends. Les Mills grew a global team of fitness professionals, researchers and sports scientists, all dedicated to making sure every BODYPUMP workout was phenomenal. Phillip and Jackie’s son Les Mills Jnr also entered the mix. Following in both his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps, Les Jnr began playing sport internationally. Primarily based in LA, the style of exercise used to train this next generation of athletes was high-intensity interval training; now known as HIIT. With these new insights, Les Jnr returned home and began working on the LES MILLS GRIT Series. Not only did Les Jnr develop and create a new tier of programs, he also shared the research and trends of this style of training with BODYPUMP.

Perfect Never Exceeds Expectation It doesn’t allow us to reach our full potential. May we be confident and have love for who we are, but, in all that we are passionate about, may we always remember that good is the enemy of GREAT. Don’t settle. I’m so honored to join a campaign that’s committed to pushing these boundaries for women. Thank you @reebokwomen for creating such an inspiring message of female empowerment - I’m so excited to be a part of it! - Gigi Hadid
