BrainFit Program Focus Areas
Each BrainFit Session will involve one of more of the focus areas below:
Our ultimate aim is to encourage participants to feel confident and strong enough to maintain activities in nature such as gardening or walking and independence.
- Functional Movement Exercises (movement to improve ability to complete daily living tasks)
- Real food for metabolic health and brain health (reduction of processed foods and seed oils)
- Balance training for whole body strength and posture (improving pelvic stability and shoulder strength for improved posture)
- Progressive daily cardiovascular exercise for heart and brain health
Our ultimate aim is to encourage participants to feel confident and strong enough to maintain activities in nature such as gardening or walking and independence.
Functional Movement Exercises
(movement to improve ability to complete daily living tasks)
Functional Movement is Movement needed for an individual to participate in their individual activities of daily living.
Each session Brainfit Participants will discuss their activities of daily living and exercises and activities will be designed to ensure participants are engaged in activities that have meaning and purpose to their own goals.
Participants are also able to reflect on their session and provided techniques that enable them to practice activities in their home environment.

Real food for metabolic health and brain health
(reduction of processed foods and seed oils)
Brainfit Participants are encouraged to learn about the benefits of real food for human capacity, weight management and brain health.
Our aim is to provide participants with evidence based information regarding the physiology of the human body when furled with various foods.
Participants are able to increase their knowledge in the following areasa:
- Insulin resistance and chronic disease
- Inflammation and processed foods
- Inflammation and seed oils
- Reading and understanding food labels, nutrition panels and ingredients lists on processed foods
Balance training for whole body strength and posture
(improving pelvic stability and shoulder strength for improved posture)
Brainfit programs cater for injury rehabilitation, neurological conditions and athletic performance.
- Our focus is to help improve postural strength and control to assist participants to continue to engage in outdoor and indoor activities.
- Brainfit provides exercises and activities that aim to improve pelvic stability to assist them with engaging in activities with the confidence knowing that their body has developed an improved ability to balance and protect sensitive areas such as the lower back
- Participants are also encouraged to develop upper body posture to assist with development of breathing strength.
- Upper body stability also assists with maintaining lower body balance by preventing upper body stoop forward posture and lopsided walking.
- By increasing both pelvic stability and shoulder/ scapular stability the spine is further protected from injury and allows confident walking posture.
Progressive daily cardiovascular exercise for heart and brain health
The human body adapts to loads that are placed on it such as walking and lifting.
The ability to adapt the these loads over time means the body needs constant small refinements added to existing exercise programs to continue to stimulate pathways that require growth and regeneration. It is for this reason that the body requires progressive programs with small increases in load, intensity and endurance.
