Are you trying to get fit and In shape in Markham?

What does it mean to be fit? Well, from the opinions of professional personal trainers and therapists from The Markham Gym, being fit is being able to move & not be out of breath. Your routine tasks should not fatigue you & you shouldn’t fear the stairs, or crash midday 🏃💪🤙

If you are getting TOO FOCUSED on one component of fitness like powerlifting only, you might be diminishing overall fitness 🥺

Some things that usually come about from that is feeling achy, unathletic, out of breath 🫥

Try to MAXIMIZE FITNESS & LONGEVITY while trying to become the strongest in the world & the most super jacked 🥳😎

✅ Prioritize daily steps … the benefits of this is LIFE CHANGING, not just for cardiovascular or aesthetic gains. Try to get 8k steps up from your 2-4k steps/day…take walks, get moving while on the phone, jog, swim, lift, move, snorkel, tennis, ride a bike at YOUR OWN PACE 🚶‍♂️🏃

✅ Lift 3x/week ~ so that getting off the couch, going up the stairs, carrying your luggage isn’t difficult. It’s also great for making stronger bones, adding muscle & better blood sugar management 💪❤️

✅ Get away, take vacations & weekend trips BUT STAY ACTIVE ~ we already sit at home & work ~ Try to use vacations to get up & MOVE ~ EXPLORE 🏔️🚶‍♂️

✅ SLEEP is soooo underrated ~ great for cognition, body composition, strength 👍👍👍

TRACK YOUR SLEEP & strive for 6-8h 💤

✅ Maintain a healthy body composition ~ no need need to be SHREDDED to maximize health, but sustaining a healthy body composition will keep many health markers in a better spot ~ but don’t ask me ask your doc 😁🤓
