Mobility is defined as the ability to move freely. This definition will have different meaning to everyone. For some its being able to run long distances with ease, for others its being able to get down low and pull out weeds from the garden. Mobility is restricted by inflexible or weak muscles, weak movement patterns ,and sometimes pain, which can all be improved with regular specific exercises. Being overweight also restricts your mobility because its harder move with a heavier body. Neurological conditions can also affect mobility which can be more of a challenge to improve, however, sometimes small improvement can make a big diffenece to every day life.  

Yes you can! Exercises done consistently in a controlled and progressive way can improve your flexibility, strength and decrease pain all contributing to greater mobility.

We start with an assessment to talk about your health history and your health goals. We may also do a physical exercise assessment to see what your current fitness and mobility is like depending on your goals. This helps us understand what exercise to prescribe and understand what you may be struggling with regards to how you move.  Then a program is devaloped either for you to follow yourself and we follow up with you at designated time periods, or we can provide ongoing supervised exercise sessions. 

Exercising self discipline in the kitchen is the best way to lose weight ;-) What you eat has the largest impact on weight loss. Consulting a Nutritionist or Dietitian is my best advice. Both cardiovascular exercise and resistance training play their part in weight loss but ultimately its far easier to consume calories (from food) than it is to burn them (exercise). Example: a 12 inch subway ham sub has 900 calories. To burn 900 calories walking takes around 2 hours at 6km/hr.
