Exercise – not one size fits all!
As we know everybody is unique and we all respond to different things in different ways. The same is true with us and exercise. Even though we know that exercise is good for all of us it does not mean that all exercises will affect us in the same way. Everyone may have a different individual response to a particular type of exercise and may be why you are not achieving the goals you set for yourself even though you have put in the time and effort. The reason may be because of your individual response to the particular exercise. If you are used to doing endurance activities such as running try switching it up and try a different type of exercise, perhaps High Intensity Interval Training. Not happy with your power output from your High Intensity Interval Training program? Switch up your routine to include some Resistance Training.
Of course it takes time for your body to adapt to exercises so do not give up on an exercise right away. Every few months you can switch it up and see what type of exercise you and your body respond best to. If you need help creating a new exercise program that is challenging to you, you can seek help from one of our practitioners at Form and Function.

Movember and Physical Inactivity
November is here and so is the fundraising campaign Movember. For those of you who don’t know what Movember is, it is a campaign that involves growing moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. Why mustache? They are very visual and meant to start conversions about mens health.
One issue Movember raises awareness and funds for is physical inactivity. Here are some facts:
– Inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality
– 41% of men in high-income countries do not exercise enough
– Physical inactivity leads to higher risk of cancer and other diseases
The health guideline for exercise is a three times a week of at least 30 mins of activity. If you are not getting that amount of exercise, you should consider increasing your exercise level. If you have any questions about increasing your activity level, the health care professionals at Form and Function can help set up an exercise plan for you.
