Your health & fitness
What about your health & exercise; your fitness; or your current lifestyle? We watch TV on average 3-4 hours a day, many of us sit at computers all day, take cars or public transport to work and dine out. This is often all excused as a 'modern way of living.' So why not change the way you live? Better health, more exercise and increased fitness can be the key to a more confident, fitter and less stressed you...not too mention opening up new possibilities for your lifestyle.
Why should I exercise?
The benefits are almost endless. That said, you should always take care when exercising, especially if it's a long time since you last exercised. When exercising, it is essential to warm up your muscles for at least ten minutes before you start exercising warming-up. e.g. moderate walking or a gentle jog followed by a stretch.
Nutrition and exercise
Physical exercise is only part of getting fit. Boost your athletic performance and train more effectively and harder by sorting out your nutrition. From drinking enough water, to working out just how many calories you need when exercising, it's all very important stuff.
Walking back to health
Did you know that walking two miles a day most days can reduce your chances of a heart attack by 28 percent? Walking is an excellent way to improve your health, and it's easy to fit into most lifestyles.
Strength training
As you develop aerobic fitness, you can start introducing elements of strength training into your exercise programme. Good muscle strength can have a marked effect on appearance as it improves the tone and shape of muscles, improves posture and helps prevent lower back problems.
One of the key areas for personal training sessions is nutritional advice, if you continue to eat unhealthy and fatty foods you may never see the real results that exercising properly can bring.
Nutrition, as any athlete or recreational exerciser will quickly tell you, plays a part in increasing the efficiency and productivity of your training session. The type of nutrition, and the amount needed before, during and after exercise, is dependent on a number of factors including the intensity of your training, the duration, the type and the number of times you workout. Therefore a personal trainer will be able to build lifestyle programmes that encompass all of these factors in tandem with your bespoke workout.
