Along with good nutrition, exercise will improve your health, your spirits and most importantly your future. Once you realise how exercise amplifies your health and how simple a tool, movement is in preventing disease, I am sure you will want to get pro-active! If you are reading this page and browsing this website, you have probably decided to improve your health. If so, exercise must become part of your daily routine.
We were born to move. Today, in Western civilisation, we consume approximately 2100 calories a day, whilst burning only 300 calories in daily activity – less than a third as much as our ancestors.
Below is a list of some short and long term benefits of exercise:
• Exercise burns calories, helping you maintain a healthy weight
• Exercise is essential for keeping off lost weight
• Exercise makes your heart stronger
• Exercise improves your circulation
• Exercise lowers blood pressure
• Exercise helps manage and prevent Diabetes
• Exercise lowers Cholesterol
• Exercise boosts your immune system
• Exercise increases lung function and decreases the risk of respiratory infections
The list is endless.
Levels of Intensity:
During our initial consultation we will ascertain your base fitness levels and set out some long and short term goals. There is no single answer as everybody has different goals, different schedules, different preferences for training and a different genetic make-up. Therefore each exercise programme will be different for each person.
Depending on your age, fitness level and personal goals, it is recommended that you complete an exercise session between 10 minutes and 1 hour. The optimum exercise session should be 30-40 minutes, at least 3 times per week. I can write you an exercise prescription to use together in our sessions, and to use outside of our sessions to ensure we can keep a record of your achievements, strengths and weaknesses and work together effectively to ensure you get the results you are looking for.
