It works to make the heart, arteries and veins, stronger and more efficient. It is important to find the right type and entry point for Cardiovascular training and our Personal Trainers excel at finding an appropriate type and comfortable start point for our new clients.
Resistance and weight training - an essential part of reducing blood pressure. Much like cardiovascular training, resistance training will improve the heart, arteries and veins, but also it will improve insulin sensitivity in the muscles, allowing blood sugar to be used more effectively.
