What type of exercise is more important aerobic or strength training? How long will it take before I start to see some fitness improvements? Should I do classes? I have never used a gym before, will I fit in? How often will I need to visit? What type of exercise is more important aerobic or strength training? It is important that you include both types of exercise in your routine. Aerobic, or cardio exercise as it is often referred to, will work on increasing your fitness levels, strengthening your heart as well as helping you burn calories. Many women overlook strength training but it is vital for improving lean muscle levels in your body so that you actually burn more calories all the time, and it makes your bones stronger and healthier. A varied exercise regime is best and at Reviva we will work with you design a programme suited to your specific needs. Back to top How long will it take before I start to see some fitness improvements? Any activity you do will impact on your body. Our bodies were designed to be active and therefore will lap up the fact you are exercising. It will depend on how active you have been in the past or are normally, as to how quickly you may see results. You will be surprised though how quickly you will notice a difference. All our members receive regular re-programming so that they constantly see progress. Back to top Should I do classes? Classes are a great way to get a complete workout. They not only provide variety to your exercise programme but also are a great way to make friends! Back to top I have never used a gym before, will I fit in?
