Strength Training for Peri/Menopause

Strength training has long been shown to improve physical health benefits such as bone density and preserving muscle mass as we age (typically muscle mass declines 3-8% per decade after the age 30 if we do no additional activity).

 

Research shows the benefits of strength training and bone loading exercise at the peri/menopause stages of life.  During each class, and over the 6 week programme block, you will be guided through a variety of exercises that challenge your muscle and skeletal system.

 

A mix of equipment will be used, ranging from body weight, hands weights, pulleys and barbells/Olympic lifting bar in a supervised circuit style class.

Work at your own level among other women who are looking to help improve symptoms of peri/menopause.

 

Strength training is low impact on joints whilst encouraging control of movement in a variety of positions to challenge the whole body.   Alongside mood boosting effects of heavy (or, heavier that normal) lifting, it aims to improve overall physical conditioning and mental health.

 

Who is it for?

Ladies experiencing peri-menopause/post-menopause symptoms, and wish to manage symptoms and improve wellbeing.

 

Class Structure:

A guided circuit style class with progression over the 6 week block using a range of equipment including Olympic barbells, hand weights, kettle bells and body weight exercises.

(Early morning) Bootcamp Class

This 30 minute class will set you up for the day!

It is progressive combined cardiovascular/resistance/strength fitness class for those wanting to fit in some exercise first thing in the morning.

 

Whether it is prior to starting your working day, or you are retired, it is ideal to set you up for the day and reap the benefits throughout the day from a boost to your metabolism.

 

Aerobic exercise produces a range of chemicals such as endorphins and dopamine which often leave us with an exercise high.  Over time (from regular exercise), this has been shown to release proteins (neurotrophic growth factors) which encourage nerve cell growth in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that regulates emotions/memories.  Greater neurotrophic growth factor proteins results in more connections formed, improved brain function and improved mood – there is a high probability you will feel energised once you’ve finished the class!

 

Who is it for?

Any age and ability welcome, especially early birds and like to get up and active before their day begins.

 

Class structure:

A guided circuit style class with progression over the 6 week block using a range of equipment including Olympic barbells, kettle bells, cardio equipment and body weight exercises.

Parkinson’s Fitness and Function

This is an opportunity for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to join a group with the specific aim of keeping active.

 

Parkinson’s makes your movements slower and smaller. Day to day activities generally become harder. At diagnosis, there is evidence to suggest that most people walk 30% less each day than others of the same age.

 

There’s good evidence that Exercise Is Medicine for PD. Exercise can definitely keep you fit and functional for longer. Aerobic or strenuous exercise at 80% of your maximum is thought to be neuro-protective – this means that it may slow down the damage to dopamine producing cells in your brain.

 

Having PD can make you feel down, maybe apathetic and like you don’t want to exercise. A good reason to join this group is to meet others in the same boat who will help to keep you motivated when the going gets tough.

 

If you have not done much exercise recently … or if you have never been one to exercise, don’t worry. We will take it slowly and only get you to do what you can. Our motto is start out gently and build up slowly.

This is how the Parkinson’s functional fitness class works:

Please book an initial assessment with Ben Durham (Specialist Parkinson’s class instructor) or Physiotherapist Hayley Jarvill. The reason for the first meeting is to get to know you, to identify a few things you find hard that you’d like to be able to do better and to take some measurements of your general fitness, balance and movements to help to monitor your progress. This session will take about an hour and a half. You will need to wear loose, comfortable clothes, trainers and bring reading glasses.

 

About the exercise groups:

Both classes start with a warm-up and you then learn exercises specifically designed to help people with PD.
Online zoom classes are also an option for people who prefer to exercise from the comfort of their home.
Ben Durham (Specialist Personal trainer) runs the group class sessions.

 

We offer re-measurement sessions every 3-6 months so that you can check how you are getting on compared to how you were when you started in the group. Book your re-measurement session with Ben.

Monday 5.00-6.00pm & Thursday’s 11:30-12:30 at Bury Physio

 

The cost:
The cost is £10 a session, pay as you go, or £40 a month for 4 classes and membership of the Bury Physio gym.

The advantage of joining the gym, is that you use the gym to do your exercises between sessions. If this cost is prohibitive for you please contact Kecia Harris of Parkinson’s UK who may be able to help.
