The variety of exercises is almost endless and personal
training can be conducted at your home or a place of your
choosing.
Sessions are one on one, or if you wish you may invite a
partner or a friend or two.
Having a regularly scheduled appointment is great for
maintaining your motivation. Not only will you have someone else
to report back to, you'll also be taking part in a structured
and realistic program designed to deliver maximum results in the
minimum of time. The emphasis would be making exercise fun, so
that you have the motivation to not only meet, but exceed your
fitness goals.
What you can expect during your session is some of the
following:
STRENGTH TRAINING - halts the decline in muscle
mass. This loss of muscle actually starts in your 30s. Strength
Training also improves bone health and density.
AEROBIC ENDURANCE TRAINING - improves
cardiovascular fitness
FLEXIBILITY TRAINING - aids injury prevention;
increases joint mobility
CORE STRENGTH EXERCISES - Strengthens and
supports your back
REHABILITATION EXERCISES as prescribed by
Health Professional
STABILITY EXERCISES - increases core strength;
reduces incidences of falls
Physical inactivity, lifestyle conditions, disease or injury all
contribute to an advanced ageing rate but this can be reversed
by good nutrition and exercise.
