I felt I had to write this short thank you to Ben Clifton at Prosperity Health and Fitness. I was unfortunate enough to spend most of late spring and summer of 2023 in either Manchester or Lancaster Royal infirmaries, much going on that was not a pleasant experience.
Once out, I had lost some 60lbs, my daily exercise could get me to the end of the road and back (all of a couple of hundred yards).
A friend suggested I get a personal trainer involved with a view to both building up my weight, but also to regain the strength I once had. I approached Ben, he came to the house, talked though what we both think we needed/expected and started on a regimen of twice a week home visits. Progress was slow (in the beginning) but steady, and as of today I have put on about 14lbs, all good weight and am now able to get out and about for a good hour’s walk. Something I never envisaged back in October.
To those who are in the same boat as me having found how frail you can become after a few weeks in Hospital, I can, from experience, highly recommend Ben and his regimens. I seriously thought when I got out of hospital in August I would not make Christmas, but here we are mid January and looking forward to the lighter nights for outdoor activities.
Its been challenging at times but the benefits far outweigh the hard work, in as much – blood pressure down, good appetite, physically stronger, all thanks to Ben.
Bring on the summer months!
