Healthy Exercise

Much of the advice we give to patients is negative: "Don't do this, don't do that." But one thing we can be more positive about is exercise. At every age taking regular exercise is associated with improvements in health. It reduces the risk of heart disease, improves circulation and helps control excess weight. Fitness and tone help to prevent injuries and back problems. For many people exercise is also a good way of relieving stress and tension. Older people who exercise regularly also have a reduced risk of falls and osteoporosis. This can be achieved by as little as a regular walk.

Many of our patients are put off starting exercise by fear that they may be doing the ‘wrong thing’ and more harm than good. One way to deal with this is to visit a gym or leisure centre where qualified staff can tailor an exercise plan to your personal needs and also monitor your progress. Most also provice a comfortable environment to relax afterwards too. Exercise needs to be a pleasure, not a punishment!

Patients with significant health problems should consult their own GP before starting an exercise regime but almost everyone can find some exercise that they enjoy, helped by the knowledge it is also doing them some good.
