There are many ways that exercise can help improve overall health. Here are a few styles that we encourage clients to partake in (and incorporate into our personal training).
Cardiovascular exercise: Engaging in activities that get your heart rate up and keep it elevated for a sustained period of time can help improve your heart health, reduce your risk of heart disease, and improve your overall endurance.
Strength training: Resistance or strength training can help build muscle mass and strength, which can help improve your metabolism, bone density, and balance.
Flexibility: Stretching and engaging in activities that improve flexibility can help reduce muscle tension and soreness, improve posture, and reduce your risk of injury.
Balance and coordination: Exercises that challenge your balance and coordination can help improve your stability and reduce your risk of falls.
Mind-body exercise: Practices such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation can help improve your mental health and well-being by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT): This type of exercise involves short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest. It can be a time-efficient way to improve cardiovascular fitness and burn calories. Should be used sparingly and only when ability indicates use of HIIT.
Functional fitness: Exercises that mimic everyday movements and activities, such as lifting and carrying groceries or climbing stairs, can help improve your overall function and ability to perform daily tasks with ease.
