Exercise

Regular exercise is important for heath. It’s good for your heart, can help lower cholesterol and it reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The impact on our bodies of exercising improves bone density, preventing osteoporosis. It’s also great for our mental health. It can improve our mood and decrease feelings of depression and anxiety.

In terms of weight loss, the calories burned whilst exercising will partly contribute to the number of calories we burn. Strength training increases our metabolic rate (the amount of calories our bodies use, even at rest). Exercise can also regulate hunger, reducing the level of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. You’ll still need to pay attention to your nutrition, but it all helps!

Any exercise is better than nothing and you can do this on your own or with friends … but, as with nutrition, it’s so much better and easier with professional, qualified support. If you feel you need that additional support, we have partnered with The Trainers to provide our clients with access to a team of qualified, experienced mobile personal trainers who offer group and one-to-one sessions in the Esher area and online. From cardio at home to weight training in the park, get in touch, they have it covered.
