The forgotten muscle…

Hello again,

In our last blog post, we spoke the importance of strength training to help prevent muscle loss, boost longevity & reduce risk of disease.

Well, did you know that your heartĀ isĀ also a muscle, one that needs training too.

Regular cardiovascular training; think walking, brisk movement, moderate aerobic sessions, metabolic resistance training (this is what we do) does more than make you less breathless.

In fact, this is part of the reason why we’ve started introducing our famousĀ capacityĀ blocks into our training sessions.

Regular cardiovascular training improvesĀ VOā‚‚ max, strengthens your blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and even cuts down on cardiovascular-related deaths.

Perks of training your heart:

  • A stronger, more efficient ticker improves endurance & resilience
  • Reduces risk of heart disease, stroke, and boosts longevity


Your mission this week:

Pick two days for heart-smart movement; 30 minutes of walking, jogging, cycling, or dancing to your favourite tune.

Consistency is the key.

Your heart’s is like any muscle, it become stronger or weaker, so let’s keep it as string as possible.

Yours in health & strength,

Your favourite personal training gym in Highbury,

Coach JB
