Activity tips

Activity tips

Recreation Centre Staff often talk about fitness just like you do, with reference to that general feeling of well-being. Being "generally fit" as far as we are concerned is a matter of having an efficient heart-lung system, good muscle tone, no fear of over eating, improved joint mobility and muscle flesibility.

All this can be achieved by means of a balanced activity comprising no more than three twenty minute sessions of moderate activity three times a week. This will ensure an improved oxygen transport system if sustained over a period of several months and when added to some simple flexibility exercises for five minutes a day, can lead to that "general fitness."

Fitness is specific .... specific to what you want to be fit for. With that in mind, if you are training for more than general fitness, the activity must be specifically related to the activity you require, and for the specific energy requirements of that activity.

Centre staff will provide that specific, tuned-up-to-your-needs programme.
