EmPower PT -EMPOWERING YOU TO REACH YOUR GOAL

Calorie Deficit! You will lose weight if you consume less calories than you burn through activity. It really is that simple! The key to this is the combination of what you eat and drink and your levels of physical activity. A healthy nutritious diet combined with a good level of exercise will result in a healthy weight loss. I can help not only with the physical exercise but can also give advice on your nutrition and where you can make improvements in your diet. My sessions are tailored to your goals and also what you enjoy doing, getting your heart rate up and your muscles working!

For years I would run between 3-5 times a week incorporating very little or sometimes no weight training into my routine. I always found the gym a bit daunting, not really knowing what to do with the machines or free weights. I now love adding weight training to my weekly routine, knowing that is what is really going to give my metabolism a boost , building lean muscle and therefore burning more calories when my body is at rest.

As we get older, sometimes are early as our 30s we begin to lose muscle mass each year. This process speeds up as we get older and is called sarcopenia – the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function. The best way to combat this is to lift weights. This not only keeps your muscles strong and functioning well but also keeps your bones strong meaning reduced risk of injury and falls. There are also many other benefits including better heart health, better flexibilty and mobility, improved posture and improved mental health.

Having had three children myself I am well aware of the adaptations that have to be made whilst exercising during pregnancy and in the months after giving birth. I am qualified in providing programmes designed to allow women to exercise safely and effectively during this time.
