A new study in Men’s Health Magazine explains why boot camps and other training classes are currently so popular. Researchers at the University of Oxford found that people who train in groups can boost their pain tolerance more than people who work out alone. The study claims scientists aren’t exactly sure why, but they think that group exercise may contribute to an underlying endorphin surge. The study also suggests, if you don’t have a training partner, plug in some earphones because music seems to ease strenuous exercise.
At the Winchester Institute we help people achieve their health goals by providing our experienced personal training staff for instruction and motivation. This can provide the patient with a competitive environment helping them achieve this increased pain tolerance and gain the strength and stabilization they need to get back to a healthier, pain free, lifestyle. At the Institute the results speak for themselves.
