This will involve an initial one to one consultation where an initial assessment can be carried out. This will give us a baseline to start safely introducing appropriate exercises at the right level. This will also help outline potential goals that might help sustain a long-term commitment to improved exercise levels.
Following this initial consultation, we will progress onto group-based exercise sessions. These sessions will be fun, engaging, and supervised to allow a safe and enjoyable way of improving exercise levels.
The long-term goal of these exercise sessions will be to plan a way of allowing each person to head towards their own personal fitness goals. For example, participation in this exercise prescription process might improve someone’s physical activity levels and build their confidence enough to join a hill-walking club.
Exercise, unlike most other health interventions, has the potential to benefit all the elements of well-being (Physical, Mental, Social and Spiritual). It is now known that even low but regular levels of increased physical activity can help improve health, with benefits to Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Weight and Mental State. Such increased physical activity can lower the risks or at least control future health problems (Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Stroke). In addition to the health benefits described above, regular exercise and physical and an increase in physical activity can also help with;
- Improvements in Cardiac Function
- Maintaince of Functional Capacity (physical independence)
- Reducing Depressio
- Improving Social Interactions
- Possibly even the treatment and prevention of Cancer
