Fitness

The joy of movement is inherent in us. Moving and being physically active should not feel like a punishment.

Exercise is not a panacea for mental health issues. It is important to look beyond the exercise itself and consider the contextual factors around it.

Following your recovery from an injury or pain syndrome, the question on your mind would be; “how do I go about returning to sports again?" Re-starting your sport of choice at the same previous level of intensity would be a recipe for re-injury.

One great disservice you can do to your body in advanced age is to not use it. To accept that reduced movement, loss of mobility, tiredness and even pain are somehow a normal part of ageing is simply not the case.

We’ve all heard it before – exercise is good for you, it’s important for a healthy life. Recently, awareness has grown, and whilst more people are exercising, for far too many it remains elusive. With a busy life, including work, family and home commitments, you just don’t find the time for it. But, it’s never too late to start.
