A good diet can improve your health, reduce fatigue, and even increase strength. Certain food groups should be added to your diet whilst some are best avoided. Andy will look at your lifestyle and goals to best determine your nutritional needs.
Fitness testing is an essential element of your initial consultation. Assessing your areas of strength and weakness in human functionality and movement provides valuable information to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, specifically tailored to your needs and requirements.
A Full Initial Healthcheck is the foundation for your personalised programme. Blood pressure, resting heart rate, lung function, blood sugar levels, body composition and medical history give an indication of an appropriate starting point for your training fitness and ensures your safety through identifying and eliminating potential risks.
Kinetic Chain Assessment assesses your range of movement and flexibility. Weakness in joints and muscles can potentially lead to injury and affects long-term mobility. Your programme will focus on strengthening key areas of weakness to help reduce stress on joints and muscles, improve your range of movement and help avoid the risk of developing potentially debilitating conditions in the future.
Heat and Lung Testing tests how efficiently your body utilises oxygen during physical activity. This not only determines an appropriate place for your training, but is also a key measure of improvements in your ongoing fitness.
Strength Testing determines local and core muscle strength. Working on improving both your posture and functional ability will benefit you in every day life.
Lifestyle Analysis - Assessment of nutritional habits, work and sleep patterns, stress and activity levels will help us set realistic and achievable goals to stabilise and maintain health energy levels.
Personal Plan - From the information gathered from your assessments, we can formulate a personal plan that is tailored to your needs. It will cover all components of fitness ranging form cardiovascular to flexibility se we are developing all aspects of your personal targets.
I have worked with a wide range of clients and abilities, form beginners to athletes. With the right mindset and a focused, specifically tailored programme of activity, there is no limit to your potential for achievement - whatever your current level of ability.
Fitness for beginners
Whether you wish to achieve or maintain weight loss, train for a specific event or prepare for an important occasion, creating an environment where you are motivated to undertake a realistic exercise habit is the key to your success. During your initial assessment consultation, we will discuss your needs and goals. Your programme will focus on working towards specific short-term milestones and be geared towards achievement of a consistent and measurable path of progression.
Fitness for Stress-busting
Government research shows that over 13 million working days are lost each year due to stress related illness. Stress is believed to trigger 70% of visits to doctors and 85% of serious illnesses*. It is well published that regular exercise is a key influencing factor in reducing the effects of both physical and mental stress. Your programme will include coaching, support and encouragement to help you take control, achieve a positive frame of mind and a proactive approach to efficiently managing your stress levels through exercise.
