Move Your Way To Better Health

Cardio training involves activities that get your heart rate going and makes you ‘puff’. Jogging, walking, swimming and cycling are all forms of cardio.

Regular cardio workouts boost your stamina & endurance, helps to burn fat and helps with circulation and blood flow- including to the brain for memory support.

Strength or resistance training, involves lifting, pushing or pulling against a resistance. Think weight training- free weights and machines and body weight exercises like push-ups, squats and chin-ups.

Getting stronger does not meaning getting bigger, so don’t fear bulking up. What it does offer is improved muscle tone, better posture, healthy waistline, confidence and a boost to your mood.

Improving your flexibility involves a series of movements to help keep you supple, improve your mobility and posture and help you to relax and manage your stress. Better flexibility also allows you to do other forms of physical activity more efficiently.

You can improve your flexibility with simple at home stretches and by stretching after a cardio or strength session.

Or get focused on flexibility with yoga or Pilates. Both will improve your flexibility, lengthen the muscles and promote relaxation.
