How can exercise turn back the clock for your body?

Posted on 16 March 2012 by

These NEW fitness classes are designed to assist older adults to stay in shape by working on the following:

  • Improve aerobic capacity
  • Augment maximal cardiac output
  • Decrease resting blood pressure
  • Increase bone mineral Density
  • Improve muscle strength
  • Favorable changes in body composition

BENEFITS OF ANTI-AGING FITNESS CLASS

Exercise has therapeutic benefits for almost all community- dwelling older adults, especially those suffering from the most prevalent chronic illnesses. Its benefits include enhanced physiologic capacity, leading to improvements in overall functioning and therefore reductions in morbidity and mortality. In a study by Bean et al (2004), they found that much of the original research on exercise interventions in older adults was directed at reversing age-associated physiologic impairments such as reduced aerobic capacity and muscle weakness.This approach was based on the recognition that physiologic changes associated with aging were very similar to those seen with physical inactivity and that are, in many cases, reversible with exercise.

Bike Trip to Straddie

Posted on 14 July 2010 by

Push Bike around Stradbroke Island

Stewart, our Vitalelife Personal Trainer from Bulimba is organizing a push bike day trip to North Stradbroke Island on 22nd August.

All are welcome!

The bike group will be catching the ferry across in the morning with bikes (preferable Mountain Bikes or Hybrid). Then casually make your way to Amity Point or Point Lookout for a day of Whale, Dolphin, Turtle spotting.  You can bring your own lunch or have lunch at one of the cafes or pubs on the Island.  There will also be a small bit of walking while we are there.  You are also more than welcome to take a dip in the water for a swim. 

This will be a relaxed casual day of fun, so some experience riding a bike is a must. Keep in mind we will be riding on the road with other vehicles.  We also may do some small off road riding.  The distance between Dunwich and Point Lookout is about 20km so having a basic fitness level would be very helpful, as over the course of the day you could be riding about 50km.

If you would like to join Stewart on this great trip you can contact him at Vitalelife Bulimba on 3899 5099.
