Are you worried about your ageing memory?

Thu, Aug 08, 2013

As we age, it is normal for our memory and other brain functions to decline. There is little point in living to 100 if our brain is not functioning properly. Throughout our lives new brain cells are being created in a process called neurogenesis (neuro means nerve and genesis means birth). Even in people with Alzheimer’s new brain cells are being created. However we need to have these brain cells functioning at full capacity; hence the importance of exercise and diet. Next we need to engage these new cells so these new brain cells begin communicating with each other, rejuvenating our brain’s abilities.

Challenge yourself at The Coast Club

Thu, Jul 25, 2013

Do you use cardio for weight control? Are you one of the many people who run, cycle, and swim, or take classes to keep your weight under control? Did you find that at first your weight loss was quite noticeable but now it has hit a plateau? If the answer is yes to the above questions, it is time to think about ways of kicking your cardio up a notch or two to make it productive again.

Your body is an amazingly adaptive organism. If stress (and exercise is a form of stress) does not kill you it will make you stronger and fitter. In addition, repeated bouts of the same stress (exercise class, running, etc) result in your body becoming more economical. For weight loss, energy economy is the last thing you want.

Stylish summer sports wear for the fashion conscious

Thu, Jul 11, 2013

With all the sporting events happening over the summer, I’ve been feeling quite motivated to keep fit. I am an avid fan of Pilates, and try to attend a couple of classes a week and lately I’m training to run five kilometres; for no particular reason other than keeping healthy. With the sunshine here to stay for a week or two, there is no time like the present to be outdoors, whether it’s to take a stroll in the park or run a full marathon. Getting the right clothing is important, for comfort more than anything, especially for your feet to protect them from injury. I’ve been doing some research on the sporting attire on offer this season, and do you know what? It’s just a little stylish!
