Due to popular demand we have arranged to have two sessions of our Fit4Life program per week.
Cardiorespiratory, Strength, Endurance & Flexibilty Exercise
This is held indoors and is an effective method of exercising that can be enjoyed by a variety of people. The programme is designed to improve all the components of fitness that constitute physical fitness of an individual. The most essential components for maintaining fitness for life and sport include:
- Cardiorespiratory Fitness
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
- Flexibility
Being physically fit also contributes to our overall health and total fitness. Total fitness includes social, mental, emotional, nutritional and medical fitness. It protects you against cardiovascular disease, increases your bone density, lowers cholesterol, reduces blood pressure and improves sleep quality. As a general rule, engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiorespiratory activity each week.
"Walk to Run" programme. The training plan that follows is designed to get you to the point where you can run 30 minutes (about 2 miles) at a slow, relaxed pace. It's a simple, progressive program that begins with more walking than running, and gradually evolves into more running than walking.
Each week's plan also includes coaching on the correct mobility warm ups and cool downs which is essential in maintaining a injury free transition.
Week 1 (Oct 24th):- Run 2Mins, Walk 4Mins, X 5 times - Total 30mins
Week 2 (Oct. 31st):- Run 3Mins, Walk 3Mins, X 5 times - Total 30mins
