HEALTH CONDITIONS
Building Independence
Having a long term condition can make exercise a challenge. Research has shown that exercise can improve over all well being. I will help you keep moving and build strength at a pace that works for you.
I am qualified as a level 3 Exercise Referral Instructor working with a range of conditions including; Diabetes, Obesity, Depression, Osteoporosis and Arthritis. I take clients following the completion of a GP referral. See Sara's story here to find out how I have helped a client move more freely and gain greater independence.
SARA'S JOURNEY
6 months into her fitness journey with me, Sara has lost an incredible 2 stone, dropped almost 2 dress sizes and is stronger, moving better and feeling fitter and healthier.
Using an app called MyFitnessPal Sara has been tracking her food and reducing her portion size to create a calorie deficit. Training with me once a week and swimming by herself has built muscle to boost metabolism. This helps with weight loss.
We've been working on functional movement patterns doing squats to bench, hip hinges and overhead pulls and presses. She can now pick things up from the floor and reach overhead cupboards. This has made a huge difference to her everyday life.
Ultimately it has been achieved by her commitment and hard work and I applaud her for her sheer determination. Having a long term condition has not inhibited her from this process and she is hoping to inspire others with their journey.
As she says " If I can do it anyone can!"
