Dadbod? Waking up broken after doing something remotely active? Low sex drive? Good news, you can reverse a lot of these problems, read below to find out more.
Moobs, Belly fat and Low sex drive
As we age it's not hard to notice certain things like our metabolism slowing down. Just having a few drinks in the evening seems to make the scales go in the wrong direction. You may have noticed more fat gathering around your belly and you’re now the (not-so-proud) owner of “moobs”, this could all be down to low testosterone, other symptoms of low testosterone include low sex drive, low mood and even anxiety. However there is light at the end of the tunnel, starting an exercise program built around resistance training has been proven to increase natural testosterone production, it also is the best form of exercise when we are trying to loose weight, as your body is more likely to hold on to lean tissue (muscles), rather than reduce them which happens in a calorie deficit. If you need more help or advice on any of the topics please get in touch.
Rolling out of bed with a sore back? knees screaming at you after running for 3 minuets?
How many times have you thought back to all the stupid things you would do in your teens and 20’s, and wonder “How did I not hurt myself?” or “If I did that activity now I would ache for days”? Almost every person I’ve coached over the age of 40 have said that they are sick of constantly being in pain after doing almost anything. Whilst we can put some of that down to getting older, it's not just about age. In reality, after we hit 30 most of us have lots more responsibilities such as our careers, looking after a young family, and all that goes along with it. Without realising most of us become more sedentary, whether it's because we are sitting at work, driving our kids to various activities, or sitting on the sofa for the one hour of peace we finally get when everything else is done.
So it's not too surprising that we can end up in pain if we suddenly do something active. Our bodies aren’t used to it, and our muscles and joints will have lost some of their mobility. The good news is that a lot of this mobility can be restored, but it needs to be done in a controlled way. That's why I start slow with all my clients, and we work on building our bodies back to how they were. And for those of you who are already active, consistently working on your overall strength and mobility will support your cardiovascular fitness and overall performance.
These are just some of the benefits of becoming a “Small group personal training” member. Other benefits include a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer, a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s, and improved mental wellbeing.
