Guest Speaker:
Chantal spoke on her role as an exercise physiologist.
Her main message was that we should get moving and keep moving.
She spoke of six myths:
1 No pain, no gain. Pain IS a warning sign that we should take notice of.
2 Dieting alone will produce weight loss. We must exercise as well.
3 Spot exercise is good. (eg produce flat tummy). Total exercise and good diet is necessary.
4 Must spend a long time at training. Not necessary as short 10 minute sessions are adequate.
5 Exercise will cancel sedentary behaviour. No it doesn’t.
6 Aerobic exercise is sufficient for good health. No it isn’t, we need to do resistance training as well.
Some of the benefits of regular exercise include good posture, better metabolism, reduced falls. Regular exercise will help to form a healthy habit in our lifestyle and we shouldn’t concentrate on weight loss alone.
Stretching is very important, not before but after exercise. Stretches should be held for 30 seconds each.
The many questions showed how involved the members were in Chantal’s presentation.
