Gym Weights and Cardio

Are you finding it difficult to carry your shopping, work in the garden for anytime, play with the grandkids? Has your doctor said you have hypertension or glucose intolerance or diabetes? Or is it a sense that things are getting harder to do?

​

No matter why you are finding things a bit more challenging, you will be amazed at what is possible and how good you can feel. As Di said “this has been the best thing for Ed and I, our strength is improving therefore so is our ability to do things. I have lost weight and am off all my medications now”.

​

Being sedentary is the worst thing we can do for ourselves, as it allows our bodies to lose muscle. You will have heard the saying “Use it or lose it”, it is true, no matter your age or fitness level. Muscle not only gives you the strength to lift your grandkids, your shopping or undertake daily tasks, it also drives your metabolic rate (the rate you consume calories) as muscle is hungry and a kilo of muscle when at rest will use up to 370 calories an hour. Muscle regulates insulin levels and therefore helps to manage glucose intolerance and diabetes. And much more!

​

Strength training is great for improving your heart health, managing sore knees and all round good health and capacity. Give it a try, you will love the outcome.

​

​
