National Men’s Health Week Spotlight on Koko HealthTracks

Posted on by

It’s National Men’s Health Week and Father’s Day is imminent. It is a great time to spotlight the Koko FitClub HealthTrack I created just for the men of Koko Nation. Men’s Health is a year-long Smartraining program I designed to help men rebound from gender-specific health issues such as prostate cancer. It improves muscle size, strength and performance while slowing the functional decline often associated with men’s health challenges.

The Men’s HealthTrack is one of a full suite of Koko HealthTracks, prescriptive Smartraining programs targeting specific health challenges. Other programs include Breast Cancer Recovery, Arthritis, Diabetes, and Back Relief. Talk to your local Koko team for more information about getting set up on any of the HealthTracks I’ve mentioned here.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, “Strength training can be very powerful in reducing the signs and symptoms of numerous diseases and chronic conditions…” I built HealthTracks with just this purpose in mind. Each safe, progressive Smartraining program is individualized to the patient’s specific needs, goals and limitations, thus removing the confusion and anxiety that accompanies taking this important step to reclaiming one’s well-being.

Empowering people to feel better every day is the goal that motivates us in everything we do here at Koko FitClub. Koko HealthTracks, and Men’s Health,  fit that goal perfectly. And wouldn’t that also be a great gift to give to dear old dad this weekend?

To Your Good Health,

rxWe are thrilled to announce the launch of Koko HealthTracks. The year-long, progressive strength training programs are designed by Koko Chief Fitness Officer, Michael Wood, CSCS, as a prescription for members with specific health challenges.
Koko HealthTracks, based on the latest medical and exercise science research, are the natural next generation of Koko Smartraining programs. For those struggling with health issues that have affected their functionality, the Koko Smartrainer is ideally suited to the re-introduction of exercise. The safe, progressive strength programs are individualized to the patient’s specific needs, goals and limitations, thus removing the confusion and anxiety that accompanies taking this important step to reclaiming one’s well-being.
Arthritis: Progressive resistance training designed to help improve physical function, reduce soreness, stiffness and painful symptoms of arthritis.
Diabetes: Lose weight, get strong and improve your quality of life with this complete strength and cardio plan for diabetics. Benefits may include improved insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and a lowered risk of heart disease.
Men’s Health: A program designed to improve muscle size, strength, functional performance and body composition while reversing the functional declines often associated with men’s health issues.
Breast Cancer: Reclaim and reshape your body with this progressive training program that builds strength while toning and conditioning your entire body, paying special attention to muscle groups of the core and upper body.
Back Relief: Build a stronger back and core to help relieve and prevent back pain by strengthening the muscles involved in the body’s core stabilization.
Through Koko HealthTracks, we want to help our members bridge the gap between a doctor’s recommendation ‘to exercise’ and the actual implementation of a fitness plan to proactively deal with health concerns. If we can do that, then we have achieved our goal: Empowering you to feel better everyday.
