Lesley’s Story Lesley (38) started working with the HealthTeam on the 1st August 2013, having done no exercise for years. Lesley’s health problems included breathing issues, as she had loss of lung function in 2009, high blood pressure and was continuously tired. Lesley was obese and very self-conscious. Lesley started to attend the gym 3-4 times per week with our team, at first for one hour per visit. The HealthTeam structured a challenging workout regime with a mix of cardio and free weights in order to help her to improve and included detailed dietary advice for lowering her weight. Lesley has cut her weight from 128kg down to 122.8kg and has built muscle mass in the process, as well as improving her breathing. Lesley said ‘I’m wearing clothes that I had grown too fat to wear and I am much more self-confident’. She also said ‘I’m really looking forward to the HealthTeam run in October in St. Annes Park. I feel I can definitely improve further and lose more weight and hope that if I lose enough weight I can stop taking blood pressure medication, with my doctor’s approval’.
We can all do it so why not start on 6th October with a walk, jog or run within a safe and fun environment. The HealthTeam will be on hand to help you out and provide any advice or assistance required.
