Persistent muscle weakness can be caused by a variety of different factors including health conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer and side effects of certain treatments including hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
Exercise and a healthy balanced diet can help reduce and manage muscle weakness.
Here are our exercise tips to help you manage muscle weakness:
1. Take part in Functional Strength Training
Functional Strength training focuses on the seven functional movements (push, pull, squat, hinge, rotate, lunge, gait) to improve your strength when performing activities in day-to-day life such as climbing stairs, sitting to standing and pushing doors open.
Try out our Functional Fitness class to experience this style of training
2. Take part in Isolated Strength Exercise
Our Strong and Balanced class involves performing isolated exercises, unilateral exercises and low impact exercises to effectively promote hypertrophy (an increase in muscle size). This style of training can be most beneficial in improving strength, improving bone density, helping people manage energy levels and helps isolate and correct muscle imbalances.
