Turn Your Life Around In Seven Days
Date: 02 Nov, 2004
Premium health club operator Esporta is giving away a seven day trial as a Christmas present to all its members, enabling friends and family to go along to their local Esporta, work out and tone up for free. Alternatively, for non Esporta members, it is possible to buy the seven day trial for as little as £15, giving you the opportunity to get active and enjoy first class fitness facilities for a week - perfect timing for that fitness drive to get into your Christmas party gear!
So, what can you achieve in seven days? The simple answer is a great deal and Esporta's group health and fitness manager, Mark Talley, has put together this simple but effective plan to help you make the most of this trial, and finish the week full of energy and feeling fantastic!
Day 1: 30 minutes of cardiovascular work - try ten minutes each of running, rowing and stepping. 20 minutes of resistance work focusing on chest, back, shoulders, and arms. 10 minutes of abdominal/core work using the fitball.
Day 2: 30-40 minute swim, alternating between different strokes to optimise muscle use. 20 minute sauna/steam.
Day 3: Rest day, try a massage or facial treatment in Esporta's Health and Beauty salons.
Day 4: Try an exercise class, perhaps Step, Circuits or Spinning.
Day 5: 30 minutes of cardiovascular work - try some interval training - using some of the preset programmes on the cross trainer or bike. Intersperse hard and easy efforts. 20 minutes of resistance work again focusing on chest, back, shoulders and arms. 10 minutes of abdominal/core work using the fitball.
Day 6: Rest day, how about meeting a friend for lunch in the restaurant?
Day 7: 30 minute cardiovascular workout in the pool or in the gym - your choice!
"There is enormous scope for what you can do in a week," comments Mark, "the most important aspect of this trial is that it can get you motivated, and show you how good exercise can make you feel. Increased energy, a healthier heart and a longer life expectancy are just some of the benefits an active life can bring, this week long trial has the potential to lay the foundations for a healthier life."
All trials must be taken by 31 December 2004. To find out more about this trial or about the nearest Esporta to you, call 0870 739 0039 or visit www.esporta.com, and just remember, the world was created in seven days!
