Is metabolism important for weight control? 🏃♂️
In short, yes. Our metabolism naturally slows down as we age. This makes it easier for us to gain a few extra kilos of weight and much harder to loose them.
But did you know, that staying active can help to prevent this drop. If you are able to keep active and have good muscle mass then your resting metabolism is increased - which is the amount of calories that are burned when you are resting or asleep.
Activities that you could try to help prevent your metabolism slowing down include weight training, high intensity interval training, like running on the beach for periods of time and ensuring that you eat a healthy diet which includes protein.
If you have any questions feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.

New Week, New Challenge 💪
Each week, I make a list of the things that I want to achieve. These are tasks that are realistic and can be done with a little motivation. This week I’m aiming to do muscle strengthening exercises on 5 out of 7 days. This includes, light weights, lunges or squats which help to keep muscles and bones strong and healthy.
What are you goals for this week?
Take care and stay healthy 😘

WARNING
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Social distancing works 👍
We can all do our part by slowing down spread if we practice social distancing. This means even if you’re out doing your exercises or getting the groceries please maintain a distance of 1.5m from each other. You could even turn it into a game like I do, think Temple Run and avoiding the ‘obstacles’. 🏃🏼♀️ Take care and stay healthy 😘

What’s your regime?
By performing exercise for up to 30 minutes 5 days a week you are helping to reduce your risk of medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and musculoskeletal problems to name a few.
If you’re unsure where to start, taking a brisk walk whilst slowly increasing the distance is considered to be beneficial.
Try to incorporate muscle strengthening exercises such as light weights, lunges or squats as this keeps your muscles and bones strong and healthy.
We are fortunate to have access to free community gym machines with a world class view of the beach. So if you’re passing one by, give it a go. 💪
Take care and stay healthy 😘
