Osteoporosis
Losing bone density is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal.
Building stronger bones
Strength training is by far the best form of exercise to build bone density. Research shows that individuals who strength train as part of their workouts have much stronger bones as they age in comparison to individuals who do aerobic exercise or no exercise at all, and as a result have a far lower chance of fractures. Research within the field goes further, and says that in order to gain or maintain bone density, depending on one’s age, you must regularly lift weights at an intensity not lower than 75-80% of your 1 repetition maximum. This translates to a weight that you can lift typically between 10-12 times and no more. If you can lift the weight more than 12 times, then the weight is too light to incur a benefit to bone density. For optimal gains strength training should include maximal loads, this means lifting weight that you can lift for a maximum of one to two times per set.
We specialise in delivering bespoke personal coaching for the maintenance and the increase of bone density with aim the avoidance of osteopenia, osteoporosis and bone fractures.
The excessive production of a hormone called insulin within our bodies is fast becoming the medical problem of our age. Insulin, is the hormone that is responsible in transporting blood sugar or glucose to our cells. Due to our poor food choices and lack of correctly structured exercise, we are becoming less insulin sensitive, meaning that we are not able to respond to insulin. This results in the right cells within our body not being able to uptake glucose and this is either stored in the fat cells or remains in our bloodstream. Yes, what we ingest is key, however, strength training also has a dramatic effect on blood sugar function and insulin health.
How we contribute to the prevention of diabetes
A targeted strength training prescription will leave your muscle glycogen storage depleted and in need of replenishing. The replenished glycogen will be up taken from glucose that is in the bloodstream, in turn reducing possible glucose storage within fat cells and elevated levels of glucose within the blood. Moreover, targeted strength training will increase lean tissue/muscle mass. When you increase muscle mass, glycogen stores increase and as a result there is an increased demand for glucose to be pulled out of the blood and into the muscle glycogen stores. This contributes to diabetes prevention.
Our bespoke personal coaching will also decrease blood pressure, improve blood flow, reduce body fat and dangerous visceral fat and in turn reduce the chance of heart disease.
