Do enough for health, do more for enjoyment. Throughout history we have needed to move to find food and water, build shelter, avoid danger, and for pure enjoyment. Our approach is called MARS: Movement, Aerobic, Resistance, Stance – and works equally well for those just starting out right up to professional athletes.
Aerobic
People enjoy aerobic activity for all sorts of reasons. Immediate benefits include: improving our mood and mental health, socialising, enjoying a sport, and enjoying outdoor space and nature. But when done correctly, it also plays a crucial role in our longevity and builds a fitness foundation to keep us moving in our older years.
Movement
Being in the seated, reclined, or lying position whilst expending little energy for long periods whilst awake, is known as being sedentary. Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for poor metabolic health, increasing our risk of conditions related to poor metabolic health such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.
Resistance
Resistance activity involves challenging our big muscles so they adapt and grow. One or two bouts of resistance activity a week is enough to achieve significant gains and long-term health benefits. And it is not an activity just for the young: infact, as muscles help support our joints and bones and help prevent falls and injures, we feel it’s essential for all ages.
Stance
Our stance plays an important role in our functional ability, which is our ability to move and perform tasks throughout our day. Posture is important for our musculoskeletal system to help prevent or reduce aches and pains. Balance, co-ordination, and flexibility can improve our quality of life and support in maintaining our functional movement ability.
