For NDIS participants, achieving long-term health and fitness goals requires a tailored, flexible approach. Regular check-ins with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) are essential to ensure that your exercise program aligns with your evolving needs, health status, and personal objectives. At Adaptive Strength in Booragoon, we emphasize the value of consistent reviews and adjustments to help NDIS participants stay on track, overcome challenges, and make meaningful progress.

Why Regular Check-Ins Are Essential

Health and fitness goals aren’t static; they change as your physical abilities, health conditions, and priorities evolve. Regular check-ins with your Exercise Physiologist provide opportunities to evaluate your progress, identify any barriers, and make adjustments that keep your program relevant and effective. Here’s how:

1. Tracking Progress and Setting New Goals

One of the key benefits of regular check-ins is the ability to track your progress over time. Exercise Physiologists assess your current fitness level, strength, mobility, and overall health, comparing these with previous benchmarks to measure improvement.

• Progress Monitoring: Regular assessments help determine how well you’re progressing toward your goals. If you’ve made significant progress, your AEP can set new, more challenging goals to keep you motivated and engaged.
• Adjusting Goals: If obstacles arise, or your health condition changes, your goals may need to be adjusted. Regular check-ins allow for this flexibility, ensuring that your exercise program remains realistic and achievable.

2. Personalized Adjustments to Your Exercise Program

A personalized exercise program isn’t just created once and forgotten; it needs to evolve based on your progress and changing health status. Regular check-ins allow Accredited Exercise Physiologists to modify your exercise routine as needed, ensuring that it continues to be effective and safe.

• Adapting Exercises: If a particular exercise is no longer suitable due to changes in mobility or pain levels, your AEP can replace it with an alternative that still targets the same muscle groups or fitness goals.
• Increasing or Reducing Intensity: As your fitness improves, exercises may be adjusted to increase intensity or complexity. Conversely, if health complications arise, your program can be adapted to accommodate these changes without compromising safety.

3. Addressing Health Concerns and Barriers

Health conditions can be unpredictable, especially for NDIS participants who may experience changes in their physical or mental health. Regular check-ins provide an opportunity to address any emerging health concerns before they become major barriers to progress.

• Managing Pain or Discomfort: If exercises cause pain or discomfort, your AEP can make immediate adjustments to ensure that your workouts remain comfortable and effective.
• Overcoming Mental Blocks: Motivation can fluctuate, and sometimes mental blocks make it challenging to stick to a program. Regular communication with your Exercise Physiologist can provide the encouragement and support needed to stay committed.

4. Building Confidence and Motivation

Regularly checking in with your Accredited Exercise Physiologist helps build confidence and reinforces motivation. Seeing your progress, setting new goals, and overcoming obstacles together can create a sense of accomplishment, encouraging continued participation and dedication.

• Positive Reinforcement: AEPs offer constructive feedback and celebrate your achievements, making the journey to better health more enjoyable and rewarding.
• Ongoing Support: Having a trusted professional to guide you through each step ensures that you always have a resource for questions, concerns, or guidance.
