During our sessions, I will put together a training schedule to help you to achieve your goals, and fit to your own personal abilities. If you are wanting a rough guide however, I would suggest a balance of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and stretching.
Cardiovascular exercises, such as running, cycling, or swimming, are important for improving cardiovascular health and burning calories. It’s good to do around 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio each week, along with two days of strength training.
Strength training is key for building and maintaining muscle mass, which boosts metabolism and helps with weight management. It’s great to do a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups, such as squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and rows. Compound exercises work multiple muscle groups at a time, and can be a great starting point for those who are just looking to start their fitness journey. Start with a weight that you can lift comfortably for 8-12 reps, and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger.
Stretching is important for maintaining flexibility, and to help prevent injuries and improve overall mobility. Include a stretching routine at the beginning and end of your workout can help you to have a more effective workout, and recover more quickly too.
As I mentioned before, this is a guide, and I will be able to tailor a plan specifically to your body, and your goals, so if you want to chat about your fitness goals, book a free consultation, or just want to know a bit more about what I do, contact me today.
