We
believe in listening to our clients and adapting exercise and fitness
programmes to suit individual people. A number of factors can
contribute to weight loss and at Harris Fitness we can provide advice
and education on fitness levels, nutrition, stress management and
sleep behaviour to help you lose weight.
Firstly, good nutrition and exercise triggers weight loss and it is imperative
to eat a balanced diet if you want to lose weight. Weight loss
is about cutting down on saturated fats, alcohol, takeaways and sweets but
not necessarily cutting them out completely! There are many myths surrounding
weight loss, for example cutting out all snacks helps you lose weight, foods
labelled ‘low fat’ or ‘reduced fat’ are always a healthy
choice and starving yourself is the best way to lose weight (www.nhs.uk). Our
personal trainer Neil is qualified to give advice on nutrition and your initial
assessment with him will include an analysis of all the components of your
lifestyle.
Secondly,
adding activities that promote or maintain muscle mass will make
your muscles work harder and will raise your metabolic rate. By
increasing your metabolic rate you will increase the amount of calories
you burn whilst training and this will inevitably lead to weight
loss. In order to maximise success with weight loss, research
suggests that a variety of different training methods are needed
to increase your chances of losing weight. At
Harris Fitness we believe in making exercise fun and enjoyable. During
your initial consultation our personal trainer Neil will discuss
with you personal goals, appropriate timescales, nutrition, stress
and sleep patterns and you will receive a health check including
blood pressure, resting heart rate, lung function, weight and height
measurements.
Following
your initial assessment Neil will provide a personalised exercise
programme based around your specific goals, which will be reviewed
at regular intervals. Your programme will be changed to avoid
boredom, plateau and to increase your chances of losing weight.
If
you want to lose weight and are finding it difficult to stay motivated
to exercise, or are getting bored with the gym, then give us a call,
we can help. Our personal trainer can be flexible to meet your
lifestyle. Whether you want to exercise in your own home or
outdoors or simply try a new approach to fitness then contact us
for an informal, no obligation chat with our Personal Trainer.
