Liam's Journey with My Health Team 

Liam started his fitness journey with My Health Team under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), aiming to enhance his overall fitness and prepare for the physical challenges required to join the Special Forces. Working closely with one of our expert exercise physiologists, Liam has been able to combine cardio, core work, and resistance training to build the strength and endurance needed for his ambitious goal. With two sessions a week for over two months, Liam's progress has been remarkable. He's been improving his chin-up technique, mastering new exercises like weighted chin-ups, and increasing his push-up count to an impressive 90 in a row! 

The Role of Exercise Physiology in Achieving Your Goals

Exercise physiology plays a crucial role in helping individuals like Liam achieve their fitness goals. At My Health Team, we take a tailored approach, ensuring that each session aligns with your specific objectives. For Liam, this meant focusing on activities that would help him pass the rigorous physical tests for Special Forces, including chin-ups, push-ups, and cardiovascular endurance. Some key components of Liam's training include:

• Cardio and Core Work: Focusing on improving endurance and overall fitness, Liam spends time on the treadmill and in the pool working on his swimming technique.
• Strength Training: To prepare for the chin-up test, Liam has been training with added weights to build his upper body strength.
• Boxing and Plank Work: Incorporating boxing into the workout helps improve hand-eye coordination and core stability, essential for overall fitness.
