This type of workout regime “will improve your flexibility, build muscle strength, build your stamina, improve circulation, as well as having wonderful mental health improvements too,” Wiener continues.

“What makes [the 3-2-8] regime so special is the fact it’s well-rounded; it’ll help people who just strength train to focus on improving their mobility and balance, and likewise people who focus on just pilates to work on their larger muscle groups and improve their strength through heavier weights or bodyweight training.”

Wiener says that many workout regimes neglect the importance of walking – the benefits of which are numerous. “Walking can boost energy levels and enhance your metabolism. It can also strengthen the heart, lower blood sugar and help to ease joint pain. Oh, and it also boasts amazing mental health benefits too, helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression while enabling us to get some all-important fresh air.”
