If you are a beginner, start with 15-20 minutes, 2-3 days a week and gradually increase the time and intensity of your activities. If you are used to exercising, aim for 3-5 days a week, depending on your fitness level.

A mixture of aerobic activity and strength training, spread over the week:

• aerobic activity, such as taking an exercise class, brisk walking, running, cycling and swimming
• strength training using weights or resistance bands

If you haven’t exercised for a while, or have any existing health or injury conditions, it may be a good idea to speak to your GP or Health Practitioner.

A warm up prepares your body for exercise by gradually increasing blood flow, heart rate and muscle temperature. It also improves  flexibility and reduces the risk of injury.  Warm up for 5-10 minutes. A more intense activity may need a longer warm up.

A cool down help your body gradually return to its resting state, gradually lowering your heart rate and blood pressure.  It also helps reduce muscle soreness and the risk of injury. Cool down for 5-10 minutes or longer if needed.

Yes, stretching is important, to improve flexibility, range of motion, reduce muscle soreness and prevent injury. You can stretch after a workout, when muscles are warm but also before exercise after   warming up.  Other times include gentle stretching first thing in the morning to relieve stiffness or, in the evening to help relax and unwind.

The benefits of regular exercise include increased energy levels, better sleep quality, improved mood and confidence, reduced anxiety, preventing or managing many health conditions, weight management, stronger muscles and bones…….. to name but a few!

Post workout soreness is common, and is a good thing, as it signals that your muscles are getting stronger. There are two types of muscle soreness:

• Acute – usually felt straight after exercising due to a build up of waste products, within your muscles, such as lactic acid. This type of muscle soreness usually resolves within a few hours.
• Delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) – usually starts about 12 hours post workout. Your muscles develop tiny tears, after an intense workout, and DOMS is the soreness you feel when these tears are repairing.

Muscle soreness is reduced by staying hydrated, gentle exercise, stretching, massage, a warm bath with Epsom salts

Aim for a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy and lean protein, limiting unhealthy fats, sugar and salt. Good nutrition means consistently eating a wide variety of foods that give you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good and have energy.

You’ll need a mat, or something to lie on, and some weights and resistance bands for strength training. We can advise you what to get.

This depends on your goals, consistency and fitness level. You can see results in as little as 2-4 weeks, although more noticeable changes occur in 8-12 weeks

Resting after a workout helps your muscles to recover and grow and reduce the risk of injury. After a relatively light workout, your muscles should recover within 24 hours, whereas a more intense workout may need 2-3 days.

Strength training includes bodyweight exercises (e.g. push ups, squats), free weights (e.g., dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells), and machines. It’s important to train all major muscle groups (legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms, core) with a variety of exercises.

The benefits of Pilates include improved flexibility, posture, core strength and muscle tone. It also improves balance, and better mind body connection. It is a low impact workout, making it suitable for most fitness levels.
