So you have decided that SOME exercise might be a good idea. It’s taken years to get this far, and several failed New Year’s Resolutions, but nonetheless, you are now ready. How will this time be different? With SimpliWellness at your side, it will be! We use your epigenetic profile and blood chemistry to custom tailor an exercise program specific to the way your body gets the results you want. A positive experience makes it much more likely that you’ll enjoy the process, so that’s why it’s important to look at why exercise and fitness programs fail.
- You exercise against your body.
Every body is unique. That’s not everybody, but every body! By knowing your epigenetic profile and body chemistry, you can now exercise in ways that fit your unique body and profile. No guessing or just doing what others do. Develop a plan that gets results. - You don’t warm up before workouts and cool down and stretch after workouts
You don’t want to skip a warm up. It primes your body for success. Start with a nice walk. As you walk, add arm circles or presses while moving. You will be less sore after your full workout, or not sore at all, and you’ll be motivated to continue the process. After workout stretches keep you feeling good, flexible and balanced. - You do cardio only, and avoid weight training
Cardio exercises in groups or alone with videos or online with a SimpliWellness personal trainer can be fun. Cardio keeps your heart healthy and is a great way to burn calories, but it’s easy to lose muscle without adding weights to your routine. - You avoid Yoga or Pilates
Stretching is not an exercise, but some people confuse the stretching involved in yoga or Pilates with stretching only. Both yoga and Pilates help improve core strength, flexibility and balance, and everyone can benefit in those areas regardless of physical ability or strength. - You do too much too soon- you don’t have patience
Fitness comes with time. You may be excited to begin a new workout routine, but if you overdo it, you are likely to feel sore, and quit before reaching your goals. A SimpliWellness personal trainer will work with you to develop a progressive plan to keep you on track. - You start by running
It’s great that the folks at the office have decided to all compete in a 10K, but you have not run a step in years. So you decide to jog. But you should start with much more joint friendly options like elliptical machines, or dance classes, cycling or water aerobics. Build up your cardiovascular fitness, joint and muscle fitness before you head out for a run, and you’ll get much better results, and still make the office event.
SimpliWellness fitness experts review your health history, epigenetics and interests to keep you motivated to reach your goals. Most training sessions are virtual and lots of fun! We’ll keep you motivated and on track to reach and exceed your goals.
