Exercise is not just about weight loss, the general benefit of exercise is a decrease in the risk of chronic disease; it builds healthy bones, joints and muscles, reduces stress, and anxiety, and improves general physical and psychological well being.
Exercise will decrease the risk of developing and/or lessen the physical impact of:
Heart Disease
Stroke
High Blood Pressure
Diabetes
Colon and Breast Cancer
High Cholesterol
Obesity
Arthritis
Falls
Physical consequence of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease
Musculoskeletal injuries (such as back and neck pain)
Why exercise is good for you..
Exercise helps you to build healthy bones, muscles and joints. Building strength through resistance exercise, muscle strength is maintained or regained if lost through injury or inactivity (de-conditioning).
The risk /rate of Osteopenia is decreased through performing weight bearing exercise like walking/ running/ weight training/ step ups/ lunges/ squats.
Exercise increases your range of movement; joint range is maintained or restored if lost through injury or inactivity.
By performing balance or stability exercise (Pilates or functional strengthening exercises, like using weights in positions that you use in everyday life, with combination movements that are also used daily) your reactions and responses to external forces (like being knocked by someone or slipping on a mat) are improved.
Exercise reduces stress, depression and anxiety and improves psychological well-being, when we exercise the body releases endorphins (the body’s own pain killer and feel-good drug). Our focus is centred on performing the exercise and not on our many worries. Our hormonal system is stimulated helping us to feel balanced in ourselves.
NB: Many of our unexplained mood changes are a result of imbalances in our body’s hormones.
Exercise reduces the impact of social isolation
When we exercise we are much more likely to be interacting with our community, be it through a supervised exercise session like at Spring Physio Gym or simply out for a walk at your local park.
Exercise enhances sport or (physical) recreational performance and increases the feeling of resilience
You function better when you are stronger and have increased fitness. You feel better, you move better, you perform better. You will feel less apprehensive about participating in physical activities, so you feel confident about doing more with your life.
What a wonderful feeling exercise brings, I cannot wait to work with you to improve your health and fitness, achieve your goals and spark a continual habit to carry YOU through life!!!!
