Wellness at work is a huge trend at the moment. Business are spending private health care budgets on prevention rather than cure. A good way to combine effective exercise with learning a valuable skill is through Martial arts type classes. We have been running classes ranging from pure martial arts to self defence and they are proving very popular. This is particularly at work, where sessions take place in boardrooms, before, during and after work. Heart rates are elevated, stress reduced and sound techniques learned. Everyone from the boss down have participated, some un-named individuals have mentioned it being a good chance to have a bit of a go at the boss. Sounds like a win win!

Working with overweight children

Recent evidence strongly suggests that overweight and obese children are likely to remain that way into adulthood. Global statistics state that 22million children under the age of 5 are overweight and that 30% of children are now classed as obese. Annoyingly this is all preventable if children complete 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each day. Getting these children to participate in exercise is the hard thing. Common problems are a lack of self confidence, general low energy levels due to inactivity and poor diet, lack of parental support, lack of choice in interesting and fun exercise activities and little self motivation. HomeHealth Fitness can help with our fun and interactive junior training sessions, based largely around martial arts and exercise routines these sessions are specifically aimed at children with no real interest in sports.
