Senior Program
As you approach your middle years and if your
body is not well cared for, a physiological process of aging will
take its toll. The effects of normal aging begin to become apparent.
Various organs and systems begin to display deterioration. The
effects of this deterioration present themselves as heart disease,
arthritis, elevated blood pressure and low back problems to name
a few.
Other changes that occur include decreases in hormone production
and elasticity begins to diminish in muscles, skin and blood vessels.
Hereby, researches consider the regular exercise and proper nutrition
program is the best anti-ageing pills.
Junior Program
Juniors are different from adults anatomically,
physiologically, and emotionally. They are not miniature adults.
Therefore, we cannot use the same training methods or motivational
techniques on growing children as we do with mature adults.
Pregnancy Program
Sensible exercise can be a safe and productive
undertaking for both a pregnant woman and her fetus.
Benefits of exercise to pregnant women include the following:
• Reduces the severity and frequency of back pain;
• Enhances prenatal weight management efforts;
• Helps pregnant women counteract the feelings of stress or anxiety;
• Improves digestion and reduce constipation;
• Helps provide an enhanced level of energy to facilitate the
ability to perform the activities of daily life; and
• Helps reduce postpartum belly.
Medical Condition Program
Hypertension
is a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease (the leading
cause of adult deaths in the United States). This is not surprising
because high blood pressure adds to the workload of your heart
and arteries. Researches shows that exercise on a regular basis
and maintaining a desirable bodyweight can be effective in the
prevention and treatment of high blood pressure.
Proper nutrition, such as, moderating the amount of salt in the
diet, consuming adequate amounts of calcium, magnesium and potassium,
can also be effective in the prevention and treatment of high
blood pressure.
Diabetes has been
shown to increase the likelihood of suffering from heart disease,
stroke, gangrene, kidney disease and a serious eye disorder called
retinopathy. Exercise can have a significant effect not only in
helping diabetics control their disease and reducing risks of
its life-threatening complications, but also in greatly decreasing
an individual’s chances of incurring the disease in the first
place. Exercise can lower excess blood sugar levels, strengthening
the muscles and the heart, improving circulation.
Arthritis refers
to a disease that causes pain or stiffness in skeletal joints.
The Arthritis Foundation states that arthritis has a cost that
goes beyond pain (medical care),
Numerous studies have been conducted in the last decade showing
that properly performed exercise can have several benefits for
arthritis sufferers.
Asthma is a tightening
of the airways of the lungs, which results from either undue inflammation
of the lining of the airways or specific triggering factors.
In recent years, many individuals have found that regular exercise
can also be a positive means for asthma therapy.
The key to exercise effectiveness as a therapeutic option for
asthma sufferers is that it makes breathing more efficient.
