What are the health benefits of lifting weights?

Weight lifting or as you may have heard it by its other name, resistance training, has a lots of other benefits to it other than simply getting bigger muscles.

It is absolutely one of the best forms of exercise from a health perspective, often these benefits can be overlooked in favour of improving appearance.

Health Benefits of Cardio?

Most people are familiar with the term cardio, it is short for cardiovascular exercise. This form of exercise focuses on improving the ability of your heart, lungs and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system) to perform efficiently.

Having a healthy cardiovascular system is a key part of living a healthy energetic life.

Do you have a goal? Why setting short term or weekly goals are important!

Starting the week with a plan for your eating and training is a great way to keep on track.

Setting weekly goals can be a great way of keeping the mind focused and can lead to better overall results in the long run. Its great for motivation to achieve lots of short term goals whilst in pursuit of a much larger goal that can take time to achieve. This can help keep you on track and focused.

What should I expect from my first PT session?

Starting something new with minimal information can understandably be a little uneasy for some people.

The expectations are that the first session with a new personal trainer is a tough hour of exercise, an experience that will leave you exhausted for the rest of the day and sore for an entire week after.

At TWPT we don’t like to go straight into exercise without good knowledge of the person we are working with.
