Share What’s the old saying? “A rolling stone gathers no moss”? Maintaining general fitness is not easy, especially for those who usually work sitting down. Our Stay Fit training programme is the perfect way to maintain fitness and vitality, with a special training programme designed precisely for that purpose.
The following are important parts of the Stay Fit training programme:
- Holistic training for well-balanced strength: full body training means training all muscle groups as equally as possible. The goal is to prevent muscular imbalances, or to even out muscular imbalances already present in the body.
- Slowly increasing the intensity of strength training: to begin, strength endurance training is used to activate the muscles and tendons and limber up the joints. The intensity is then slowly ramped up as the program continues.
- Endurance training to improve the cardiovascular system: you have to train more than just your muscles – the cardiovascular system is also incredibly important for your health. Targeted endurance training keeps your heart, lungs, and blood vessels healthy and significantly reduces the risk of illness.
Classic training programmes designed to improve overall fitness usually recommend strength endurance training (20 repetitions and 3–6 sets), and then a separate endurance training session. However, this takes a lot of time and doesn’t provide effective variations in training stimuli.
We offer a modern training approach with innovative periodisation and methods: circuit training.
The circuit promotes uniform muscle growth while also optimising the cardiovascular system.
In addition, we at EGYM divide our training programmes into phases that build on one another (periodisation), in order to ensure the optimal training stimulus at exactly the right time, depending on your progress. This allows you to slowly, systematically increase training intensity. Each phase begins by measuring your strength, in order to continuously adjust the training weight to your individual needs.
