Personal Exercise Training

Ben Durham

After overcoming a cancer diagnosis, treatment and challenges faced during that time, I want to share how important physical activity is for people experiencing similar health challenges.  I work to provide a safe and supported space where clients can thrive both physically and mentally in all they do.

I create bespoke programmes and activity sessions with just the right amount of challenge and variety to work towards your goals.  These are intended to be fun and enjoyable and improve your overall fitness, however that looks to you.

What is Resistance Training?

Often recommended for beginners or individuals new to regular exercise. It provides a gentler introduction to strength-related exercises, using body weight, resistance bands, or light free weights to build a foundation before progressing to heavier weight training (if you want to also improve your strength and power).

 

 

The Benefits of Resistance Training

 

  • General Fitness and Health: a versatile option for individuals aiming for overall fitness, improved health, and functional strength. For all fitness levels and ages.

 

  • Muscular Endurance and Toning: enhances muscular endurance, tones your body, and improves your stamina for daily activities
    Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention: It can be tailored to meet the needs of individuals recovering from injuries or seeking injury prevention. It can also help improve joint stability and muscle imbalances.

 

  • Improvements in Functional Fitness: functional fitness focuses on movements that mimic and improve daily activities. Enhance your ability to perform everyday tasks like lifting and carrying and reduce the risk of injury.

 

  • Weight Management and General Wellness: contributes to better metabolic health, enhanced bone density, and improved body composition. Great for individuals looking to manage weight and maintain overall well-being.
