A Healthy Heart is a Happy Heart

The key to preventing cardiovascular disease is managing your risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high total cholesterol or high blood glucose. But how do you know which risk factors you have? The best way to find out is through screening tests during regular doctor visits.

Go gym will host a Cardio Vascular Screening on Saturday May 9th 2015. Screenings will be €50 per person and will take no less than 30 minutes to complete.

Regular cardiovascular screening is important because it helps you detect risk factors in their earliest stages. By getting a regular screening, you can treat the risk factor with lifestyle changes and medicine, if appropriate.

Few of us have ideal risk levels on all screening tests. However, if you do have test results that are less than ideal, it doesn’t mean you’re destined to develop a serious cardiovascular disease. On the contrary, it means you’re in position to begin changing your health in a positive way.

Most regular cardiovascular screening tests should begin at age 20. The frequency of follow up will depend on your level of risk.

Call us today to book your screening. Due to demand, there are limited places available so book now to avoid disappointment.

10 ways to motivate yourself to go to the gym

Dazzler — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 14:57:11 +0000

Channel that glorious post-workout feeling. Whenever you feel the instinct to skip a sweat session, imagine how accomplished and energized you feel after just 30 minutes or an hour of exercise. Just get there already.
Make a date with a friend or one of our fitness trainers. If you set a time to meet someone, you’ll feel obligated to go, even when your mind and body are telling you otherwise.
Create a healthy post-workout routine and make time for it, too. Reward yourself after a workout by scheduling extra moments to relax in the steam room, jacuzzi or sauna, blow out your hair to perfection, or get a hot coffee or a GO protein-rich smoothie.
This is the simplest, and possibly hardest, piece of advice to follow: schedule your workout early in the morning before the day’s distractions detour you from lofty intentions.
Carry a motivational token or photo with you. Beyoncé keeps a painting of an Oscar at the gym, so she’s literally running toward her next goal. Instead of commissioning a masterpiece, snap a shot of the dress you want to wear on your next date, a beautiful beach you hope to visit this year, or even yourself at your best, and make it the wallpaper on your phone. When you feel like caving, look at it.
Instead of going home to watch your favorite show on the couch, suit up and watch it on the treadmill. If you don’t like watching TV at the gym, load up your iPod or iPhone.
Try something new. Sign up for an exercise class you’ve never taken before, take a hike to a vista point, ride your bike to a new trail, or work out at a different time of day.
Throw on your favorite workout wear and some lip gloss. Kelly Osbourne admits to dolling up so she feels positive and pretty when she sees her reflection working out.
Avoid taking a physical dip by fueling your body with a healthy pre-workout snack. You’ll have something to burn and a boost of protein to keep your eye on the prize.
Give yourself a gold star. Plot out a reward system and treat yourself when you hit your goal of workouts per week, weight loss, or the finish line. Wouldn’t a massage, haircut or a pedicure feel great after all your hard work?
