Start with ClayMore questions?
Why are body composition and physical mobility such an important indicator of overall health?
Body composition reflects how well you’re building lean muscle versus storing fat, and physical mobility indicates your functional capacity. Both are essential for long-term metabolic health, injury prevention, and aging gracefully.
How does regular strength and movement training impact your overall health & wellness?
Consistent strength and movement training improves muscle mass, supports joint integrity, enhances circulation, and boosts energy levels. This not only reduces the risk of chronic disease but also improves quality of life at every age. Never stop moving!
How do I know if my exercise routine is supporting my body health?
Look for progress in your body composition, increased flexibility, improved performance in daily activities, and a reduced incidence of aches and pains. Tracking these metrics over time—using tools like body composition scales or mobility assessments—gives you clear feedback on your progress.
How does Clay’s approach integrate body health within our Five Elements of Health?
At Clay, we see a healthy body as the cornerstone of our Five Elements of Health. It not only provides the strength and mobility needed for daily function but also underpins optimal blood, brain, fuel, and heart health. By focusing on body composition, physical movement, and functional resilience, we ensure that every other element has a solid foundation to build upon—empowering our clients to thrive both now and as they age.
