BEWARE the armchair can kill you!

Did anyone see the documentary by Horizon on BBC2? It was fascinating and i would recommend that you watch it on BBC Iplayer if you didn't catch it. Since watching it i have to say i have made a conscious effort to move around far more at my desk even getting up and offering to make the tea (unheard of ha!)

 While the personal trainers and sports gurus among us have known the benefits of interval training I have only just started to test the theory but apparently if you step it up for just 3 minutes and then slow it down this could rapidly increase your fitness level. This compared to a 10k morning run definatly is worth a try!

I have had an influx of calls for health screening this week. It is scary when a fit and healthy player such as Fabrice Muamba  has a heart attack. Screening can pick up irregular heartbeats and it can often be resolved with medication.

If you want any help or advice on screening or preventative measures please call me today 0207 472 3350
