Why an Exercise Physiologist for Weight loss? Isn't it a diet that will help me to lose weight? This a common question! Whilst we acknowledge that many factors contribute to weight loss, the latest evidence supports the early introduction of a tailored exercise program to help you burn more energy, and that programs which combine both exercise and nutrition support result in better outcomes long term - this means keeping the weight off! What other benefits can come from exercise if I'm trying to lose weight? Often individuals that are looking to lose weight, also have other health conditions that could benefit from exercise, such as blood pressure, cholesterol and/or pre/diabetes. Evidence demonstrates that those that participate in an exercise program that incorporates both strengthening exercises as well as cardiovascular exercise will enjoy the benefits of exercise on both blood pressure and cholesterol as well as other aspects of their health including bone density, insulin sensitivity and mental health. What if I'm already seeing someone to help me in my weight loss journey? That's great! If you are working with other medical, allied health professionals or fitness professionals, we look forward to communicating with them frequently so together we can best support you to create long term strategies that work. How do I start? You can simply start by booking an initial assessment with us to undertake a health screen, physical assessment and goal setting session to start your weight loss journey. Packages Alternatively, we have packages available that can help with support, motivation and accountability. Call us on 8873 0628 or book online. See our Blog Posts on all things weight loss |
