What is cardio theatre?
Cardio theatre is an area at FNM that allows you to exercise on treadmills, bikes, rowing machines etc while enjoying your favourite TV show or watching the latest music videos.

Fitness N motion has a range of large screen Plasma Televisions operating at all opening times as well as the latest Nightlife video music system with the latest video clips and music.

Updated every month, the video clips are also played over the in-house entertainment system so you can listen to the latest and best music in town while you exercise.

You choose whether you want to listen to the latest music over the in-house entertainment system or tune in to your favourite TV show with your own walkman and earphones.

Whatever you choose, exercise has never been more fun than at FNM!

It Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular Disease is currently the most costly disease for the Australian Health System and is the largest consumer of all Health resources.

We are not trying to scare you with these facts, but when considering that a large majority of these deaths could have been avoided, well that is scary.

A survey conducted in 1995 showed that people who do not participate in regular physical activity are almost twice as likely to die from coronary heart disease as those who participate.  This means that if you participate in regular physical activity you may halve the risk that you will die from this disease.

It therefore makes a lot of sense to participate in regular physical activity doesn’t it ?

Regular physical activity can come in a number of forms, but for the majority of people that do not have a manual job or participate in some form of sport, the choices left are not very great.

For those of you that have chosen to exercise at Fitness ‘N’ Motion, congratulations, regular exercise qualifies as regular physical activity and you have just doubled your chances of living longer.

It burns unwanted bodyfat
Regular cardiovascular exercise not only burns additional calories at the time of exercise to help you lose those unwanted kilos, but it also improves your bodies continued efficiency at burning fat as a fuel source.

As your body adapts to regular exercise and becomes fitter, the potential to burn bodyfat as a fuel improves greatly.

Regular exercise causes your body to adapt in a number of ways that ultimately allow your body to utilise oxygen and fat as fuel rather than relying on carbohydrate alone.  The fitter you get, the more efficient your body becomes.

Improves cardio-respiratory efficiency
Just like all the other muscles in your body, the heart can be strengthened through exercise.

Regular exercise places an increased workload on your heart so that it is forced to adapt and improve. Your heart does this by increasing the muscle wall thickness so that as it gets stronger it is able to push out more blood with each stroke.  This is called an increased stroke volume.

As you improve your fitness you will notice the difference in your resting heart beat as it slows down.  This is due to your heart being able to push out the same amount of blood with less strokes, hence it can slow down but still do the same amount of work.

Gives you a lot more energy
Because of the changes mentioned above, your body is able to cope with more work or exercise without becoming as tired as quickly.  Your body is able to burn fuel (i.e. Food) much more efficiently and is able to transport that fuel to your muscles much quicker and more efficiently.  Like the engine of your car, if you look after it, give it the right fuel and regular maintenance, it will not only give you better performance, it will last you a great deal longer and be more reliable when you need it.
