Some Guidance & advice to help you get the most from your class

  1. Ensure you are well hydrated by drinking 2 liters of water per day taking care to limit intake of caffeine and alcohol.
  2. Ensure good nutrition.
  3. If you eat just before the exercise session, take on a small amount of an easily and quickly digested food for example a piece of fruit, or piece of toast/bread.
  4. Rain , snow, ice or shine, and whatever the temperature, the outdoor classes will happen!

Therefore bring layers of clothing with you to take off and put on as appropriate, as well as hat, scarf and gloves (winter). Use a waterproof/water resistant bag. If there is a chance we do get wet, arrange that you can put on some dry clothes as soon as possible after the session, and/or wear some waterproof clothing and clothing which sheds water, in the first instance.

In shine……, consider a hat, sun screen and sun glasses! Bring water.

For Boot Camp ideally bring resistance bands and a mat/ gardeners kneeling mat.

For Nordic Walking use a small ruck sack style bag (for your layers of clothing, water ….) as you require your hands and arms to be free moving and we are walking around the park.

  1. You will be advised on the intensity, technique and type of exercise to ensure safe and effective exercise, especially working to your own fitness level, motivation and ability.
  2. If applicable, bring/have to hand, relevant medication with you.
  3. When outdoors, between May (April, early morning and late evening) and October, use insect repellant to avoid getting bitten.
  4. Adhere to Government/NHS Public Health guidelines for yours and others safety at all times.

INFORMED CONSENT FOR ASSESSMENT AND EXERCISE PARTICIPATION

I understand that the purpose of the assessment and exercise programme is to provide safe and effective exercise to improve fitness and wellbeing.

Also, that I am to exercise within my own limits.

Exercise may include: all exercises/Programmes can be adjusted to suit you:

Boot Camp:

Cardiovascular (CV) activities like walking, jogging, running, stepping, jumping, squatting, and lunging in a circuit training format.

Muscular strength and endurance (MSE) activities like lifting parts of your own body weight, pushing and pulling (for example, exercises using resistance bands, exercises with light weighted balls: squats, triceps dips, full or part press ups using the ground and benches)

Nordic Walking:

Walking, using poles, on the flat and up and down hills, at varying speeds/intensity/techniques.

Other exercises may be introduced.

Online:

Similar to Boot Camp with less/no walking or jogging; using resources you have in your exercise area/ home/ garden.

For all classes:

flexibility such as mobility exercises and stretches

POTENTIAL RISKS

The exercise programme is designed to place a gradually increasing workload on the CV and MSE systems and thereby improve its function.

The reaction of these physiological systems to such exercise can not always be predicted with complete accuracy.

Also, the outdoor environment is more variable and challenging; physical reactions to this can not always be predicted with complete accuracy.

Be aware of any Pandemic and/ or local Public Health issues/ guidelines/the like, which are to be observed/adhered to.

I understand that I am responsible for monitoring my own condition throughout the exercise programme and that should any unusual symptom occur, I will cease my participation and inform the trainer of the symptoms.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

A programme of regular exercise has been shown to be beneficial. Some of these benefits include:

  • Enhanced immune system
  • Greater feeling of wellbeing
  • Improved energy
  • Improved confidence
  • Used as a coping strategy for stress, depression, insomnia/a variety of mental health challenges
  • Improved mobility
  • Improved muscle tone, strength and posture
  • Improve management of arthritis/ many other diseases and health complaints
  • Improved blood pressure
  • Decreased risk of heart disease/osteoporosis/diabetes
  • Improved body fat %

Formal Declaration:

I declare to the best of my knowledge that I know of no reason why I should not participate in the ‘Alternative Boot Camp’/ Nordic Walking/Online exercise classes. I take part in any recommended activities and follow any advice given in the exercise classes at my own risk and waive any legal recourse for damages to myself or my property arising from my participation in the programme.

I have been made aware of and adhere to any Government/NHS/Public Health guidance/precautions and procedures for my own and others health and safety. www.gov.uk (www.gov.uk/coronavirus ).

I realise that my body’s reaction to exercise is not totally predictable.

  • I will exercise within my own limits.
  • Should I develop a condition that affects my ability to exercise, I will inform the instructor immediately and stop exercising if necessary. I take full responsibility for monitoring my physical condition at all times.
  • The onus is on me to inform the class instructor of my health and fitness status, and any changes, at the start of every class.
  • I shall not rely on the information and advice offered by the personal trainer as a substitute for the professional medical advice of my doctor.
