This is your SIGN to make time for your health & wellbeing this week. 😁💪❤️

Trust me…it does not have to be 2 hours in the gym.

Sometimes & most of the time 30 minutes is enough & sometimes even better. 😅

Having a healthy meal instead of an unhealthy meal also count.

Choosing rest is also necessary.

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy, it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.

These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health.

Movement is Medicine!

Just like medication, exercise needs the right type, dose and timing. Biokineticists use clinical training to prescribe movement that improves health, manages disease and prevents injury - especially for people with medical conditions or chronic pain.

How the Biokinetics Weight-Management Programme Works in the Workplace!

The programme begins with a detailed assessment that includes medical history, fitness testing, movement screening, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure and risk profiling. From there, biokineticists develop safe, personalised exercise plans employees can follow at work or at home.

Regular follow-ups help track progress, improve adherence and ensure long-term success - turning wellness from a “once-off event” into a sustainable lifestyle.

🦽 Movement After Spinal Injury Matters
Living with a spinal cord injury brings unique challenges - from reduced mobility to managing muscle spasticity and preventing secondary complications. But movement is still possible, and it’s one of the most powerful tools for maintaining health and independence.

Biokineticists specialise in creating safe, adapted exercise programmes for people with paraplegia and other spinal cord injuries. These programmes focus on:
✨ Building and maintaining muscle strength
✨ Improving circulation and joint health
✨ Managing spasticity and pain
✨ Enhancing functional ability for everyday independence

Every session is carefully designed to meet each individual’s needs, ensuring safety while maximising physical potential. Beyond the body, exercise also supports mental well-being and confidence - helping patients take back control of their lives.
