ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH EXERCISE? Physical activity reduces the risk of a large number of health conditions. ✅ Adults should get at least 150 mins of moderate intensity exercise per week ✅ This can be met through 30-60 mins of moderate intensity exercise five days per week or 20-60 mins of vigorous intensity exercise three days per week ✅ A gradual progression of exercise time, intensity and frequency is advised for best adherence and low injury risk... ✅People unable to meet these standards can still benefit from some activity
These are the recommended standards from the American College of Sports Medicine. To add to this we recommend you utilise a variety of approaches for overall fitness - cardiovascular, resistance, balance, stretching, coordination, flexibility and agility . . . #health #wellbeing #exercise #physicalfitness #healthandwellness #vitality #fitness #balancedliving #acsm #acsmguidelines

ARTISAN CRAFTED AROMATHERAPY LAMPS
I call this artisan crafted aromatherapy lamp ‘Namibian sunset’. It stays on my desk reminding me of my adventures in Namibia, particularly the intense fiery red sunset that rose after a dust storm. For me it symbolises the beauty and adventure life has to offer as well as a reminder that often something amazing emerges after a challenging situation (just like the sunset after the dust storm). I pair it with an invigorating grapefruit fragra...nce. This particular one and more are available at the Healthcare and wellbeing store www.healthcare-wellbeing.co.uk (link is in the bio). It can make the perfect xmas present. . #aromatherapy #fragrancelamp #fragrance #ambience #lamp #artisan #artisancrafted #wellbeing #vitality #christmas #christmaspresent #getyourstoday #giftideas #giftitems #adventure #lifeisanadventure

MAINTAIN / ACHIEVE A HEALTHY WEIGHT: It is not all about exercise and watching what you eat. Getting enough sleep 💤 and lowering stress levels help too. . When you are wiped out, the body goes into survival mode to maintain its resources and it also wants more fuel. This makes you more hungry and makes your body less able to utilise fat as a fuel. Your metabolism will not function properly. Your hormones go nuts too boosting ghrelin and reducing leptin - the hormone which sig...nals satiety; all contributing to weight gain. . It is difficult to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle if you don’t have energy for it. You end up skipping exercise and reaching out for bad foods. . The more stressed you are, the higher the cortisol level, which increases your appetite. . Break the cycle! Virtus for your wellbeing. #transformationtuesday #health #wellbeing #vitality #lifestyle #sleep #sleepwell #positivity #motivation #healthyliving #exercise #weight #balancedlifestyle #virtuslifestyle
