Exercise Prescription (E-Rx)

When it comes to health, physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness play a major role. Unfortunately, barriers such as lack of time, lack of support, disruptions to routines, lack of resources, and lack of access to fitness facilities are significant enough to prevent maintaining necessary fitness for mental and physical health. This, of course, lending a hand to the development of such conditions and diseases as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression and anxiety. 

Considering studies show that 60% of the population is inadequately or completely inactive, that 1 out of 5 adults do not engage the level of activity needed for good health, high dropout rates within 3 months of joining a fitness club, and the mounting number of individuals who suffer from chronic diseases, interventions are often necessary...in other words...exercise prescriptions. 

E-Rx = Personal Health + Exercise + Psychology

An exercise prescription is a specific plan of fitness-related activities designed for a specific purpose, utilizing exercise principles and behavioral techniques. It takes into consideration current health and fitness abilities. It identifies and sets a plan to achieve specific health and fitness goals. It is designed specifically for an individual's health status, goals, abilities and interests. It is designed to be safe.

Meliorem's E-Rx Program involves a comprehensive review of such elements as an individual's current and past activity levels, medical history, abilities, resources, goals, needs, wants, support, available time, and motivation level to engage an exercise program.
