Why Strength Training is Important
🌟 Why Strength Training Matters 🌟 (and Why Once a Week Isn’t Enough)
Strength training isn’t just about building muscle or “looking toned.”
It’s about building a body that’s strong, resilient, and able to support you for life.
Regular strength training:
✔️ Builds and maintains muscle (which we naturally lose as we age)
✔️ Strengthens bones and joints
✔️ Boosts metabolism and energy
✔️ Improves posture, balance, and everyday movement
✔️ Reduces injury risk and aches & pains
But here’s the thing 👇
Doing strength training just once a week usually isn’t enough to create real change.
Muscle needs consistent stimulus to adapt and grow.
When you train just once a week;
❌ Progress is slow or stalls
❌ Strength gains are hard to maintain
❌ Your body spends more time losing strength than building it
That’s why training 2–3 times per week is the sweet spot for most people.
💥 This is exactly where my Let's Get Moving and my two Bootcamp sessions each week come in.
They’re designed to give you;
✅ Consistent, full-body strength training
✅ Progressive exercises to help you get stronger over time
✅ Enough frequency to see results without overtraining
✅ A fun, supportive environment that keeps you accountable
✨ And yes — both are suitable for all fitness levels.
Whether you’re brand new to exercise or more experienced, every movement can be adapted to suit you.
You work at your own pace, with guidance and options to make things easier or more challenging as needed.
And remember, it all counts.
Doing a class twice a week alongside other forms of movement, whether that’s going for a walk, pilates, swimming, cycling, or hitting the gym, it all adds up.
Every bit of movement supports your strength, fitness and overall health.
You don’t need to do everything.
You just need to do something, consistently.
Strong bodies aren’t built in one workout a week.
They’re built by regular movement and smart training.
👉 All of it is an investment in a healthier, fitter future

Welcome to Be Active With Alison
My Why!
I used to be overweight and struggle with self-confidence. That all changed when I started my fitness journey and lost over 40 pounds. Now, I want to share my story and help others achieve their goals.
I've been there and done that, as the saying goes. I've been overweight and tried every fad diet, food plan, detox, fasting etc going, or it certainly feels like it. But I finally found a way that suited me. I found a way to lose weight that was sustainable and helped me build a healthy relationship with food. I also found a love for exercise and being active.
If I can do it, so can you.
I decided I wanted to help people like me. Being active doesn't just mean going for a run or joining a gym. It can do, if that's your thing but there are so many ways to keep active that are enjoyable, easy and sometimes free.
Go for a walk, do some gardening, join a walking group or an exercise class. What's important is that you keep active. That saying we've all heard, 'use it or lose it', is true, especially the older we get.
I love the confidence that losing weight and getting fit and active has given me. I'm now doing activities in my 50's that I've always wanted to do in my younger days but instead of joining in with friends and family, I'd make excuses and just watch them having fun.
Let me help you 'Be Active"
