daily tips for workout

Set a goal

Determine what you want to achieve with your workout session. Do you want to lose weight, build muscle, increase endurance, or simply maintain your fitness level? Having a clear goal will help you stay motivated and focused during your workout.

Make a plan

Once you have your goal in mind, create a workout plan that will help you achieve it. Your plan should include the type of exercise you'll be doing, the duration, and the intensity. You can also incorporate variety in your workout routine to keep it interesting and challenging.

Warm up

Before starting your workout, it's important to warm up your muscles to prevent injury. You can do some light stretching or a low-intensity activity like jogging or cycling to get your blood flowing.

Stay hydrated

Drinking water before, during, and after your workout is crucial for staying hydrated and maintaining your energy levels. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout your day, not just during your workout.

Listen to your body

It's important to pay attention to how your body feels during your workout. If you experience any pain or discomfort, it's best to stop and take a break. Pushing through the pain can result in injury.

Cool down

After your workout, take some time to cool down by doing some stretching or low-intensity activity. This will help prevent muscle soreness and stiffness.

Rest and recover

Give your body time to rest and recover between workouts. Adequate rest and recovery are just as important as the workout itself in helping you reach your fitness goals.

What people say

Testimonials

"I had been experiencing chronic pain and discomfort due to a sports injury, and I had almost given up hope of finding a solution. However, after visiting a biokineticist I can say that my life has changed for the better. Jacqueline was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my medical history. She created a customised treatment plan for me, incorporating a range of exercises and stretches to help me regain mobility and strength. After just a few sessions, I started to feel a significant improvement in my pain levels, and now I'm able to enjoy my favourite sports again."

Sarah Smith Teacher

"I was struggling with weight management issues and low energy levels, which were impacting my quality of life. A friend recommended that I visit Jacqueline, and I'm so glad I did. Jacqueline was very welcoming, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. She conducted a thorough assessment of my body composition, fitness level, and medical history, and then created a personalised exercise program for me that was challenging yet achievable. She also provided me with valuable advice on nutrition and lifestyle changes that complemented my workout routine. Thanks to her guidance and support, I have lost weight, gained muscle, and increased my energy levels. I feel more confident and empowered, and I'm now able to enjoy my daily activities without feeling tired or sluggish."
