VARIO, THE RIGHT MOVEMENT FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS. Exercise is Medicine T
he growing trend within the Health and Fitness Industry is health outcomes and driving behaviour
change to increase physical activity. Over the next few years we will continue to see a changing landscape, with a strong focus on increasing physical activity levels both inside and outside of the gym facility. Rising obesity, an increase in sedentary
lifestyles and living in a convenient society have engineered ‘movement’ out of our lifestyles. As a result, this has had an impact on the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other illnesses, having a huge economic impact on the NHS.

NHS spends £3,000 every minute on combating illness which could be prevented by increased physical activity. There has never been a more
important time to engage communities in physical activity. As an industry, we are in the perfect position to provide evidence based intervention by embracing ‘Exercise is Medicine’. Recent physical activity guidelines
suggest we each need to participate in 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic activity. Two important points to note are that we are talking about physical activity, not exercise! Secondly, the
importance of the intensity of the activity is paramount in driving metabolic rates. The Mywellness Key has been positioned to measure this and provide the evidence required to show improvement.
