Custom fitting your exercise program to achieve the best version of you

Much of the content in our previous episodes has focused on wellness plans and therapeutic lifestyle changes that are implemented to prevent and reduce the effects of chronic diseases. These wellness interventions focus on the following 4 key interventions: healthy eating, maintaining a healthy weight, increasing activity, and avoiding tobacco use.  You must summon the the focus and resolve of an Olympic athlete working a lifetime to maintain peak strength and conditioning while avoiding injury and illness.  

We are shifting our discussion from healthy eating and weight loss to increasing our physical activity. That’s right, I’m talking about good old-fashioned exercise. As simple as the idea may seem, most of you will not be able to develop and implement a personalized exercise plan that is safe and comprehensive. This is true even if you have been working out for some time. 

A formal exercise program has several components that include medical clearance if needed based on your age, presence of physical symptoms, and medical history, a pre-exercise physical assessment to determine your current level of fitness and aid in goal setting, an exercise schedule that details the focus of your workout and the types of exercise, a place to exercise where you feel comfortable and confident, an exercise log to keep track of your workouts and progress, and a means of accountability to ensure that you adhere to your exercise program and remain steadfast throughout your wellness journey. 

Evidence-based guidelines and best practices have determined that you should exercise at least 150 minutes per week with strength training of all major muscle groups at least twice per week. So, just swimming, or just running, or just playing tennis is not adequate exercise. Remember that you must invest in your health and that your investment pays out over time with increased quality and quantity of life.

With so many different exercise programs it can be very difficult for you to choose one. Many programs are meant for high level athletes or offer little supervision that can result in a high rate of injury if you are a novice or less seasoned. An extra layer of assistance can be added to prevent this type of problem and ensure your exercise plan is developed and executed properly. This extra layer of assistance is called a personal trainer, or coach, and everyone can benefit from hiring one. The right trainer can place you on the fast track to achieving your health and fitness goals while avoiding injury and set-back. 

The professionally beautiful give us insight to the commitment we need to make in our own health. We’ll identify a celebrity who fits the bill.
