Exercise, a panacea

At Healthcube, we believe that health is not an accident, but the result of conscious choices, expert guidance and an integrated approach. Recent World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines confirm what we see in practice every day: Regular exercise is one of the most powerful investments in your physical and mental health.

Exercise is not a compulsory number. It is a lever to more energy, resilience and quality of life.

We believe that:

  • Exercise should be adapted to your body and stage of life
  • Prevention is as important as treatment
  • Multidisciplinary cooperation leads to better results
  • Health must be sustainable, not temporary

Whether you are recovering from an injury, want to improve your fitness, address chronic complaints or work on your health preventively - we will guide you with a personal and substantiated plan.

Why is this important now?

Adequate exercise:

  • Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Helps with weight control
  • Improves sleep and mental health
  • Strengthens muscles and bones
  • Boosts your energy levels
  • Lowers stress

But perhaps more importantly, it gives you more autonomy over your own health.

Less sitting, more living

Prolonged sitting increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other chronic conditions - even if you exercise in addition.

This is why at Healthcube we not only encourage sports moments, but also an active lifestyle throughout the day:

  • Stand up regularly
  • Take the stairs
  • Walk during phone calls
  • Plan active breaks

Small habits make a big difference in the long run.

Let's see what the WHO guidelines mean just now. You can always discover these guidelines for yourself via this link

WHO guidelines

Specifically, what do the WHO guidelines recommend?

For adults (18-64 years)

  • At least 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week
    (e.g. brisk walking or cycling)
  • Or 75-150 minutes of intensive exercise per week
    (such as walking or intense exercise)
  • In addition: muscle-strengthening exercises at least twice a week
  • Limit prolonged idle sitting

For over-65s

  • Same basic guidelines as adults
  • Extra focus on balance and fall prevention
  • Regular muscle-strengthening exercises

For children and young people

  • Daily at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise
  • Regular activities that strengthen bones and muscles

Building your health together

Health is not an end point. It is a process. At Healthcube, we help you integrate exercise structurally and feasibly into your life. No extreme trajectories, but realistic steps. No standard programmes, but personal guidance.

Because when exercise becomes part of your lifestyle, it changes not only your body, but also your quality of life. We believe it is important to provide the right support for the person sitting in front of us. We guide everyone towards increasing active habits with the help of a physiotherapist, a personal trainer, fitness, psychologist, resilience coach, dietician or other healthcare providers.

Depending on the needs, we can all do our bit. This does not have to be all together immediately or you do not have to have a marathon, hyrox, trail or iron man on your to do list to start living healthier. Together, we will find the goal that makes you feel significantly better, more resilient and fitter.
