Defying Sarcopenia with Personal Training, Nutrition Hacks, Psychotherapy and our Body Screen

Today, let's tackle a topic that might not be on everyone's radar but is crucial for maintaining a strong and healthy body: Sarcopenia. What is Sarcopenia? What is the main cause of Sarcopenia? What are the symptoms of Sarcopenia? Is there a treatment for Sarcopenia? It sounds a bit intimidating, but don't worry – our Team has your "muscles"!

So, what's the deal with sarcopenia? Well, it's not some ancient Greek philosopher; sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. In simpler terms, it's the gradual decline of those biceps and triceps that you've been flexing in the mirror for years. But fear not! With a blend of personal training and our body screen, smart nutrition, a touch of psychotherapy, you can defy the odds and keep those muscles pumped.

Let's start with the very unique Fit2Go Strength & Condition programme combining a dedicated Personal Trainer and our Body Screen – your muscles' best friend. Working with a personal trainer can make a world of difference, especially as you age. They're like the Yodas of the gym, guiding you through exercises that target muscle groups you might not even know exist and keeping it all under control thanks to our Body Screen. Resistance training, in particular, is a must in the fight against sarcopenia. It helps to build and maintain muscle mass, keeping you strong and agile.

Now, let's talk about nutrition. Your body is a temple, and what you put into it matters. Protein is your muscle's best bud, so make friends with lean sources like chicken, fish, beans, and nuts.

Don't forget about your greens – veggies are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health. And hydration? It's not just for the treadmill warriors; it's crucial for muscle function and recovery.

But hey, we're not just tackling this on the physical front. Sarcopenia can take a toll on your mental well-being too. This is where psychotherapy comes into play. The mind-muscle connection is real, folks! Dealing with the psychological aspects of ageing and adapting to new fitness routines can be challenging. Psychotherapy helps you stay positive, motivated, and focused on your goals. It's like having a mental spotter, cheering you on when the weights get heavy.



Now, let's introduce the star of the show – our Body Screen. Picture this: We've developed a unique Body MOT service that sits at the center of what we do!

It highlights 28 areas of the Body and rates their risk of injury on a traffic light system.

The advice given is as unique as you and our team uses this information along with industry leading technology to guide you towards the peak of your physical fitness and wellbeing.

In conclusion, sarcopenia might be a natural part of aging, but it doesn't have to be the boss of you. Personal training keeps your muscles engaged, nutrition fuels your body, psychotherapy strengthens your mind, and our Body Screen gives you the tools to monitor your progress. Together, they form a powerhouse combo that can defy the sands of time and keep you flexing those muscles for years to come.

So, are you ready to kick sarcopenia to the curb? Let's get those muscles moving, the nutrition on point, the mind in check, and the Body Sceen rolling – because age is just a number, and your muscles don't need to know it!
