In a recent post we looked at the advantages of HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercise when compared to steady-state training, summarising that it’s safe for most, if not all, individuals to undertake – if prescribed properly. Thanks to the return of our CPET facility, we’ve been able to hone in on the accuracy of our […]
Instead of looking at one paper specifically, we’re going to take the findings from multiple studies and dig deeper into some physiology to understand how our body works in the way it does, and what we can do with this information to maximise our efficiency. We’ll be de-livering that information on one of your critical […]
While there are no specific figures, it’s estimated that around 44% of people will make at least one New Year’s resolution. But how many of those actually last? Some studies suggest that 13% of individuals don’t last longer than a week, with 45% giving theirs in before February 1st. Only 43% are estimated to make […]

Can I out exercise the time at my desk? An article was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) which studied […]

It is commonly believed that non-clinical interventions, such as diet and exercise, will only help AF sufferers indirectly by reducing the overall strain on your […]
We take your blood pressure before and after every CP+R session, but what is blood pressure and why is it so important? What do the numbers mean? A blood pressure reading is broken down into two parts: “systolic” (the upper number) and “diastolic” (the lower number). Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted on vessel […]
