Getting you through the Dadbod
Fitness for men
Dadbod? Moobs, belly fat and low sex drive?
Does physical activity make you ache? You can reverse many of these problems. Read on to find out more.
Why am I feeling like this?
As we age, our metabolism slows down, which can cause specific changes.
Just having a few drinks in the evening makes the scales skyrocket. Maybe you’ve noticed more fat gathering around your belly, or perhaps you’re now the (not-so-proud) owner of ‘moobs’.
This could be caused by low testosterone. Other symptoms of low testosterone include low sex drive, low mood and even anxiety.
There is light at the end of the tunnel
Starting an exercise program built around resistance training has been proven to increase natural testosterone production.
It’s also the best form of exercise if you’re trying to lose weight because your body is more likely to hold on to lean tissue (muscles) rather than reduce them, which happens if you cut too many calories.
If you need advice or want to kickstart your physical fitness, we’re here to help.
Rolling out of bed with a sore back?
Are your knees screaming after running for three minutes?
How often have you reminisced about all the active things you did in your teens and twenties and wondered why you can’t do them now?
Almost every person we coach who’s over the age of 40 has said they’re often in pain after physical activity. Whilst some of this is linked to ageing, it’s not just about the number of candles on your birthday cake.
As you age, it’s common to become more sedentary – from sitting down all day at work to driving kids around or sitting on the sofa to grab an hour’s peace. This lack of physical activity makes muscles and joints lose some mobility, which can make you ache after exercise.
The good news is that much of this mobility can be restored,
but it needs to be tailored to your body’s needs.
That’s why we start slowly with all our clients, which helps them build their bodies back to how they were. For those who are already active, we encourage them to consistently work on overall strength and mobility to help support cardiovascular fitness and overall performance.
These are just some of the benefits of becoming a member. Other benefits include a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer, a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s, and improved mental wellbeing.
