24.01.2022 Today's all about love, so let’s show a little for our amazing heart muscle! The image below is pretty confronting, but did you know that 1 in 10 Aussies die from cardiovascular disease (CV) every 12 minutes? Meaning that 1 in 10 Aussies are, right now, walking around with a heart looking something like the ‘damaged heart’ below. The sad part is that most of these deaths can be avoided and are simply the result of poor dietary and lifestyle factors. Are you at risk of cardio...vascular disease? Do you have: - Hypertension (high blood pressure) - Abdominal obesity - Physically inactive - Elevated LDL/ total cholesterol levels - Smoker - Consume large amounts of alcohol - Male aged 55 or above If you present with more than three of these risk factors than you are at an even greater risk of death or disability from CV disease. The good news is that many of these risk factors can be reduced or even eliminated through appropriate exercise and lifestyle changes. Aerobic exercise helps to strengthen the heart muscle and improve overall function capacity. Try beginning with short walks aiming for a total of 150 minutes of light to moderate intensity physical activity per week. Equating to a total of 5 x 30min walks. In addition to this aim to include 2 fruit and 5 servings of vegetables per day along with lean protein and healthy grains. Even just these two small changes can make a significant difference! If you would like to show you heart a little lovin and get your health back on track, book in for an initial consult today! See more

23.01.2022 Exercise for all ages, move it or lose it!

20.01.2022 Hamstring Injuries are the most commonly occuring injury among sports that require high speed running and kicking, particularly AFL and soccer. The most recent review of the current literature has found that strengthening the hamstrings through eccentric loading is the most effective method for reducing and preventing the reoccurrence of injury. The most effective exercise for this is the Nordic Hamstring Curl. As the torso is lowered to the ground the hamstrings are maximall...y stretch and subsequently required to maintain tension in a lengthened state (eccentrically). Nordic hamstrings can be an intense exercise top begin initially, so it is best to gradually build your strength. Start with a swiss ball hamstring curl, then progress to a Nordic hamstring with swiss ball roll out, and finally the Nordic hamstring with full range of motion. Key points when performing this exercise: - Anchoring your feet securely, or having a trustworthy training buddy to help you out. Dorsiflexing the ankle (pointing toe towards shin bone) will also increase strength. - Maintaining a neutral spine/pelvis and not arching through the lower back. Activate the lower abdominals prior to beginning the downward motion. - Slowly lower yourself to the ground. Once you feel you have reached your maximum distance, use your hands to assist you to the ground. You can also use your hands to push off the floor and assist you to return to the starting position This is a must-do exercise for all footballers!

20.01.2022 ''.....building muscle is like building a personal pharmacy stocked with "medicine" that does your body good''. Couldn't have said it better myself! Weight training is the fountain of youth. When prescribed correctly, any and everyone can benefit from participating in a resistance/weight training program. The benefits are endless...build muscle, change body composition (decrease fat mass and increase lean muscle mass), increase metabolism, improved weight management, reduce risk of injury, increase bone density, better balance, greater force/speed production, increased joint stability, improved insulin sensitivity = better overall health!

18.01.2022 Exercise is the pill! I'll bullet point the main bits to keep it simple: - Exercise keeps you healthy, therefore it comes first. Before work, before play, before anythingif you aren't healthy you can't participate in any of these anyway! - The human body starts to decline after age 25 exercise can delay this . - The future of medicine is in the hands of those that understand the profound benefits of exercise. The future is Exercise Physiology!

18.01.2022 Sign up to the ‘Premiers Active April’ challenge and pledge to walk for 30 minutes everyday in April!30 minutes a day keeps the doctor awayGo on, what’s holding you back?!

17.01.2022 Want to prevent ageing or turn back the clock? Do interval traininginterval training is bouts of high intensity activity (above 85% of max heart rate) paired with periods of lower intensity activity. This is an efficient form of exercise for up-regulating metabolism, skeletal muscle cell size, cardiovascular fitness and fat loss. You only need as little as 10 minutes of interval training 3x weekly to reap these benefits; making it a very time efficient exercise modalityNo matter your age, there are benefits to be gained!

16.01.2022 How many steps have you taken today? You should be aiming for around 10,000 a day. NEAT (Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis), also known as 'incidental exercise' is exercise/movement that occurs throughout your daily life. This includes things like, walking up stairs, parking and walking to the shops, walking to the printer in your office, manual labour required as part of your job, cleaning the house, it's anything that keeps you moving! Research has found that those who get more NEAT per day have better health and are also able to maintain a stable weight compared to those who are less active/sedentary. Exercise is not just an 'hour gym session'. Try getting more movement into your daily life, every bit counts!

16.01.2022 Hello all! I've been a little 'missing in action' over here on this page! However, I'm back and ready to post some frequent content. Watch out for a weekly post on all things health, fitness, training, mindset and Exercise Physiology...

16.01.2022 How goods a fun run! Super proud of everyone’s efforts today, and very inspiring to be around people of all ages and abilities giving it a crack. Smiling because I’m happy with my timebut guys, the chafe is real . @melbmara @fi_elliott @tamnmyles @adigledhill @apatto12 (couldn’t of done it without our support crew man!) #melbmara #2018 #halfmarathon #melbournemarathon2018 @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

15.01.2022 Exercise Right Week is nearly here! A week to celebrate all things Exercise Physiology, and the importance of the role of exercise for the maintenance of health, as well as the prevention and management of chronic disease. This years theme is 'What motivates you to move?'....So, I would love to know, what motivates you to move?...Or...Why aren't you motivated to move? What are your barriers, what stops you, why don't you value movement? Comment below!

12.01.2022 Chronic lower back pain? Sit at a desk all day? Tight hips and poor posture? Chances are you have weakness in your posterior chain, in particular the glutes. The glutes, bottom, bootay, bum or peach, (whatever you like to call it!) are a combination of three muscles: glute minimus, glute medius and glute maximus. The main role of these three muscles in combination is to predominantly extend, abduct and externally rotate at the hip and stabilise the pelvis when walking/running.... Together they form the largest group of muscle in your body, therefore it’s of high importance that they are strong enough to perform their role correctly. Strong glutes = better supported lumbar spine, greater speed and power when running, decreased risk of knee, hip or hamstring injury, improved posture and pelvic positioning and better fitting jeans! The best exercise to begin with is the Glute Bridge. Key points include: Maintain a neutral spine and flat back throughout the movement. Tuck pelvis under, push weight through heels of feet and extend hips. Do not arch back at full hip extension. Squeeze bum at top! For additional resistance and a real booty burn add a band around the top of your knees. Keep tension on the band and maintain hip and knee alignment during the up and down phase. See more

06.01.2022 I don't claim that these tools are always the most accurate, but tracking your movement can have a positive impact on adherence and increased activity. Do you track your steps? Have you reach 10,000 today?

04.01.2022 Happy Easter from Charlie and me! We hope you all enjoy some chocolate and stay active with a walk in the sunshine

04.01.2022 Who doesn’t love a burger on a Saturday?@particlecafe with @matthewcalleri #plantbased #parmyburger #saturday #throwback #letsrecreatethis

03.01.2022 It was a pleasure to share my knowledge with Numurkah Rotary Club this weekI hope everyone took something away from the night and begins to incorporate a little more exercise into their day!

03.01.2022 Please take the time to watch thisand when you do, invite over your family, your friends, your loved ones, your neighbours, your work colleagues! This is the future of medicine - exercise medicine, and it starts with awareness and education! #exercisephysiology
