Nick's health tips - February 2020

1/3/2020

Nick's healthy lifestyle tips 

Life seems to get busier each year with less and less time to spend on exercise.  As well as my usual 3 days a week treating humans, I am now spending 1-2 days a week treating horses  so the 'spare time' I used to have has diminished and I'm having to find new ways to keep supple and fit.  "Exercise snacking" is not a new concept but studies show that several short bursts of exercise can be as effective as a prolonged workout.  So in between patients I often go through a quick exercise routine - simple body weight exercises that require no equipment is the key.  Focusing on balancing - flexibility, co-ordination, strength, cardiovascular.  Simple exercises such as running on the spot, lunges, star jumps, plank always emphasising really good form as priority.

If the above feels too much, then just try to increase the activity in your lifestyle - recent research demonstrates that “non-exercise activity thermogenesis” (activity we take when not exercising) is actually more important for overall health and longevity than working out.  So get active - walk rather than driving, use stairs rather than a lift, cycle to work once a week.  Benefits of increasing your activity levels are not just weight loss, it affects your whole health improving your heart and lung function, digestion and even benefits sleep and mental health.

Women and weightlifting

Thank you Kelly Haines for this article and great photos!

Women and weightlifting
Lifting weights doesn't mean you'll bulk up and look like the worlds strongest man Eddie Hall (well not unless you consume 12000 calories a day and have a beard!). It actually has huge benefits for women.
1. Weight loss. Building lean muscle helps raise our metabolism and burn more calories
2. Toned figure. As we firm up our muscles our bodies become more toned and defined. This does not mean we bulk up (we don't have enough testosterone for that) but it does mean our clothes fit better.
3. We become stronger. This helps support us and makes everyday actives easier (lifting up children, carrying heavy bags).
4. It can help our bones. Research suggests that strength training for women can help build bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures.

Done safely weight training is an excellent form of exercise.
