Frequently Asked
Questions.
Regular exercise and physical fitness offer numerous benefits. They can help improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength and endurance, enhance flexibility and mobility, manage weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, boost energy levels, improve mental well-being, promote better sleep, and increase overall quality of life.
It depends. The optimal frequency of exercise is a function of your fitness goals and relative current level of health and strength. Generally, it is recommended that healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 55 engage in moderate-intensity aerobic activity for at least 150 minutes per week, or vigorous-intensity activity for 75 minutes per week, along with strength training exercises at least two days a week. It’s important to find a balance and listen to your body, gradually increasing the intensity and duration of exercise as your fitness improves.
Absolutely! We support gym membership but we also love supplementing gym activity and organized workouts with exercising at home. If you have a plan and invest in a few pieces of essential equipment, you are likely to achieve fitness at home without a gym membership. There are a plethora of options for physical activity such as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, bodyweight exercises, yoga, dance, and home workouts using resistance bands or free weights. The key is to find activities you enjoy and that fit your lifestyle and preferences.
Nutrition plays a vital role in achieving and maintaining fitness. A balanced and nutrient-rich diet provides the fuel necessary for physical activity and supports muscle recovery and growth. For many of us, it’s important to consume a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. But we all have unique needs. Consult your physician or dietician before making any macro changes to your diet. Hydration is also crucial for optimal performance and overall health. Consulting with a registered dietitian can help you develop a personalized nutrition plan to support your fitness goals.
