TRAIN WITH FFS
This is the meta description of your first post.
If I could create or invent one product in life, it would be an oral pill which would yield the same benefits of exercise, without having to exercise.
‘Exercise is Medicine’ is the phrase and platform which motivates and drives me in life.
The benefits of exercise can be identified in a whole host of aspects. From the well-known physical improvements to more healthy mental states, as well as providing a platform to enhance your social life, exercise has it all. It is a cost-free drug, capable of being performed anywhere at any time, regardless of your ability, age, sex and location.
Note: This is particularly relevant if you are stuck at home due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, as there are so many options that you can avail of if you can only exercise at home. If you are an FFS member, then you can check out the online programmes available to you. Not a member? Then make sure to visit @ffsgyms on Instagram everyday for an Instagram Live workout.
One of the biggest issues observed with disease and illness in the health sector is the treatment over prevention approach. A GP will rarely prescribe exercise to an individual but always prescribes medication or drugs. Granted, the medication is needed, but the preventative nature that exercise holds over sickness and disease should warrant exercise prescription to the sick and healthy!
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2018), 23% of adults are insufficiently active globally, as are a staggering 80% of adolescents. In 2006, £900 million was spent on ill-health relating to physical inactivity (Scarborough et al., 2011). The numbers are rising profoundly, and both the health and financial impact is being vividly observed.

Obstacles:
The idea of using a pill to induce the benefits of exercise stems from the obstacles and hurdles people face with exercise and movement. Everyone struggles at times to live a healthy, movement rich life. Whether it’s the lack of knowledge regarding how to exercise effectively, finding working out overwhelming, being excessively busy with work or simply being too lazy and sedentary. There’s always going to be obstacles.
I believe my purpose in life is to empower people to understand the modalities of exercise, its accessibility, and its profound importance. Through these, I want to help motivate them to constantly better themselves through movement and physical activity. If we can constantly find ways to overcome the barriers to exercise and movement, both our mental and physical well-being will thank us for it later. This is a step-by-step, educational process that comes with sacrifice, time, and, most importantly, consistency.
