Technogym: innovative training solutions

At the forefront of fitness, Technogym offers customers innovative training solutions and advice, ensuring each client’s fitness journey has a full 360-degree approach. With many people’s motivation running low mid-year, here Technogym shares how you can revitalise your fitness journey by opting for low-impact cardio for enhanced motivation and results.

Why low impact?

“Low-impact cardiovascular activities, like walking, or using an elliptical have numerous benefits for our bodies and minds,” explains Technogym. “Unlike high-impact exercises, which may strain our joints and muscles, low-impact activities provide a gentler alternative that reduces the risk of injury while still delivering an effective workout. Engaging in these activities elevates the heart rate, increases blood flow, improves cardiovascular health, enhances endurance, and boosts overall fitness levels, all while shaping our body.”

The benefits of a low-impact cardio programme

“Engaging in cardiovascular activity offers a plethora of benefits that extend beyond physical health. Not only does it strengthen our heart and lungs, improve circulation, and boost overall cardiovascular fitness, but it also enhances our mental well-being. Cardiovascular exercise releases endorphins, our body’s natural feel-good chemicals, that elevate mood and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, the release of dopamine during and after exercise creates a sense of pleasure and satisfaction, leading to what is commonly referred to as a ‘runner’s high’ or a prolonged post-exercise euphoria. This surge in dopamine not only reinforces our enjoyment of the activity but also positively impacts our motivation to repeat the exercise, making it more likely that we’ll continue to engage in cardiovascular activities regularly and helping us overcome common barriers to start.”

Reduce barriers to increased motivation

“The presence of barriers can hinder our motivation to exercise, but incorporating low-impact cardiovascular activities into our routine can help overcome these obstacles. Low-impact and easy-to-accomplish exercise can fit seamlessly into our lifestyle, removing barriers and making it easier to stay motivated. Making exercise less challenging and more accessible can significantly reduce barriers to starting and maintaining a workout routine, thereby enhancing motivation. Low-impact cardiovascular activities, such as walking or using machines such as an elliptical, provide an excellent starting point for individuals of all fitness levels, as they are gentle on the joints and can be easily modified to suit individual needs and preferences. Additionally, incorporating convenient exercise options, such as home workouts, eliminates the need for travel time and gym memberships, making it easier to integrate exercise into our daily lives helping us achieve our objectives and sculpt our body. By removing these barriers, we eliminate excuses and increase our likelihood of starting and sticking to a regular exercise routine, ultimately boosting our motivation and achieving the results we are looking for.”
