Athlete of the month JULY: Daphne Koningen

Athlete of the month JULY: Daphne Koningen

Daphne Koningen has been selected as athlete of the month for July. In 2015, she returned to her roots in Scheveningen while pregnant with her eldest son. She started exercising at InTension after pregnancy to get back into shape. Using childcare in conjunction with training was ideal for her and her boyfriend Rene. Both of her sons have spent many hours with our lovely babysitters from childcare, enabling Daphne and Rene to both enjoy sports. It is Daphne’s goal to come to InTension three times a week. Her main goal is to stay fit. Exercise also helps her relax while giving her energy at the same time. Heleen’s Power and Aerobics class is her favorite. She sometimes takes X-CORE lessons as well.

Her favorite aspect of the program is the atmosphere and conviviality as a result of the many familiar faces among the instructors and other athletes. No matter what, she never hesitates to come! Daphne is the athlete of the month! Congratulations! As a gift from us, she will receive her membership for the month of July for free!

Athlete of the month April: William Mooijman

William Mooijman has been named April’s athlete of the month. The 34-year-old William previously trained outside under the guidance of personal trainers Lorenzo and Kevin during the Corona period. He moved to Scheveningen last year. Since he lives opposite InTension, exercising at InTension was an easy choice for him. We see him at least 5 to 6 times a week. Boxing and strength training are his favorite sports days. Aside from his personal training sessions, William also attends instructor Luuk’s boxing class on Thursday evenings at 8 p.m. While William enjoys training alone, he prefers training with a buddy or in a group. Because of this, Nick and Luuk are currently leading a 12-week fitness program. By doing so, he is able to take his training to a higher level in a group setting, increasing strength, weight, and fitness. Fitness, health, and strength are important to William. As a result of the hard training at InTension and the social environment at the gym, he has energy for ten! Our congratulations go out to William on his selection as athlete of the month. For the entire month of April, his membership is on us!

Athlete of the month MARCH: Marleen Nauta

When Marleen Nauta moved to Scheveningen 7 years ago, she began looking for new gyms in the area. After wandering around for a while, she entered InTension and was instantly smitten! Along with the homely feeling, she appreciates the professional approach, involvement, and conviviality of InTension. She also participates in fun activities at the beach, workshops, and yoga weekends. At InTension, Marleen prefers the Power class (twice a week), Warm Yoga (twice a week), and Yin Yoga when she has time.

She used to focus solely on getting a ‘tight body’, but now that she also participates in the X-fittt program, under Stacey’s expert guidance, exercise is about much more: vitality. She defines it as a healthy relationship between mind, body, and soul. She exercises more, eats a healthy diet, quit smoking, and reduced her alcohol consumption to achieve this goal. As a result, she has become more relaxed, slept better, and her high blood pressure has decreased! She found everything she was looking for in a gym at InTension. Congratulations to Marleen on being named athlete of the month for March. It’s a free month for her in March!

This month’s tip: Feeling satisfied without overeating! Feeling fuller after eating

Is there anyone who doesn’t enjoy feeling satisfied after eating? By choosing the right foods, you can fill yourself up and boost your energy. Here are 8 tips to help you.

1. Eat Fiber-Rich Foods: High-fiber foods, such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits, take up more space in your stomach and keep you feeling full longer. As well as aiding digestion, they also promote a healthy weight.

2. Protein-rich foods: Protein-rich foods include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, and seeds.

3. Consuming fat-rich foods, such as avocados, olive oil, nuts and oily fish, can help you feel full for longer periods of time. Additionally, they provide your body with essential nutrients.

4. Slow down and chew thoroughly when eating: By eating slowly and chewing thoroughly, your body can send the satiety signal to your brain. Overeating can be prevented by doing this.

5. Drink water: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger. Try drinking a glass of water before eating to see if you’re just thirsty.

6. Consume foods with low energy density: Low energy density foods contain relatively few calories per gram. Many vegetables and fruits fall into this category.

7. Avoid overeating by serving smaller portions. Serve your meals on smaller plates and bowls, for example.

8. Prepare meals and snacks ahead of time: Planning your meals and snacks in advance can help you make healthy choices

Be careful not to overeat.
