1. What are the benefits of Home Training? The joy of home training is that you don’t need to go anywhere or spend a lot of money. It is suitable for all levels and ages with hundreds of different exercises to enable you to lose weight or develop your strength, fitness and tone. There is no queuing for machines or Baywatch Boys watching over you, and you can wear what you want and train when you want. 2. Can I do cardiovascular exercise in the home to help me lose weight? The simple answer to this is ‘Yes’. There is no need for pounding that treadmill any longer when you can shed those unwanted pounds in your own home. The exercise manual will have a number of cardiovascular exercises providing you with a challenging aerobic workout enabling you to burn calories and help create a calorie deficit needed for weight loss. 3. I am a member of a gym – what use is this to me? If you are a member of a gym or you enjoy going to dance or fitness classes, then having a personalised home workout will add some variety to your regime. You can personally tailor your programme to cover elements of fitness that you wouldn’t normally cover at the gym, or you can concentrate on specific areas of your training that need extra attention in order to move to the next level. The exercise manual will introduce you to new exercises that you might like to carry out within a gym environment. 4. What equipment do I need? Many of the exercises can be carried out without equipment. To carry out all the exercises you will require 4 basic pieces of equipment. The equipment has been carefully selected for use within the home and includes a stability ball, a pair of adjustable dumbbells, a mat and resistance bands, all of which take up little storage space. These can all be purchased from a number of different retailers including local sports shops, supermarkets or online retailers.

No matter how overweight or unfit you are you will be able to cope. The exercise manual has been designed for all abilities, including males and females young and old. 6. How often should I exercise and for how long? The Health Education Council has recently changed the guidelines for physical activity to improve health and now suggest that most of the population need to take more regular activity as part of their daily lives. The aim is to accumulate 30 minutes of light to moderate activity on most days of the week. This can be made up of small bouts of 10 minutes, three times a day and can consist of activities such as walking, gardening, DIY, housework etc. The American Council for Sports Medicine suggest that to improve fitness levels you need to do 20 minutes of vigorous activity three times a week. |
