We may not know it yet, but our health coaches and exercise professionals contribute to public health in 2022. How did it become possible?
Health professionals play a central and critical role in improving access and quality health care for the community. Our health coaches and exercise professionals can make a tremendous impact and help communities to have a positive effect on our health.
We see them often hosting different exercise sessions from runs, cardio, and most notably, leading community Zumba sessions. As people become more active and seeing their community participate, gives them a source of social support, living a more active lifestyle becomes a bit easier. And, this may lead to improved mental and physical health of both individuals and the community at large.
Health coaches and exercise awareness create awareness in the community of the need to be fit and healthy that can help them prepare the proper fitness programs that would be suitable for the community’s needs. They can meet people “where they are” in the most literal sense. There is no reason for physical activity to be limited to the fitness facility hence they put much effort to implement programs to facilitate communities.
While planning and implementing a program involves many professions, health coaches and exercise professionals should never be discounted in their work as they help communities by leading the effort to ensure that public health will improve and flourish in the communities they belong to.
