21 Daily Beginners Challenge
If you are a complete beginner or just don't know where to start, or have taken a break from regular exercise and wish to ease back in your movement routine then this 21 Day Challenge may be for you.
It's important to not dwell on why you haven’t been doing exercising but what you can do now to move forward into a regular movement routine. We will focus on the following elements below during these next 21 days.
Building Lean Muscle
As we age our muscles and bone strength naturally starts to deplete if left unchecked. Functional strength in the body is needed to be able to function with every day movement, whether that’s carrying the shopping, getting up and down from the floor with ease, taking nice walks etc. New research shows that strength is directly correlated with longevity. We will use our body weight, lights weights and/ or resistance bands to help improve muscle health during the sessions.
Increasing Your Flexibility
If you suffer with pain in your back or knees, tight hamstrings or hips, and stiff neck or shoulders then I can help. Our bodies are all designed to move in the same way but depending on our movement choices throughout our life we may have over trained certain joints and muscles, or been inactive due to a job or through an injury or illness. This can leave your body feeling weak, in pain and stiff. The stresses of modern life also shapes how our body responds and feels. All my exercises can be modified for all levels, ages and most injuries.
Resetting Your Metabolism
Metabolism refers to all the physical and chemical processes in the body that convert or use energy, such as: breathing, circulating blood, controlling body temperature, contracting muscles etc. Metabolic imbalances can affect 80-90% of people aged 40 and above. Using exercise and strength training to increase muscle mass can help repair this.
