Exercise Right Week 2023

ByAngela Vitucci

Longevity Exercise Physiology and Personal Training Drummoyne, Edgecliff, Marrickville, Castle Hill, Randwick, Pymble, Kingsgrove, Neutral Bay and Coburg are this week engaging with ESSA’s Exercise Right Week highlighting the importance of seeking individualised and tertiary-qualified advice for exercise, health and sporting needs. 

Disrupt the Pop Culture and Promote the Science 

One of Longevity Exercise Physiology and Personal Training’s core values is ‘Disrupt the Pop Culture and Promote the Science’. This fits in wonderfully with this year’s Exercise Right Week campaign. In today’s world, there is a lot of misinformation in regards to diagnosis, treatment, exercises and what is the best modality or options for a specific health condition or goal. Longevity Exercise Physiology wish to help you to make the right choice for your health. 

Who are Exercise Physiologists?

Exercise Physiologists are allied health professionals with a minimum 4 year university degree. They focus on exercise as medicine for a wide range of chronic conditions and injuries. That is why with the broad range of expertise, they can prescribe exercise for anyone who walks in the door. Regular conditions referred to Exercise Physiologists are heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, mental health, and musculoskeletal injuries, to name a few. 

 

 

Exercise Physiologists also understand how to prescribe exercise for co-morbidities, such as a medical history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and knee osteoarthritis. There are many considerations to take into account when someone presents with a condition/s, however, an Exercise Physiologist will conduct a thorough health screening and create goals specifically to your individual needs. Exercise Physiologists understand a new diagnosis can make you feel confused and worried, particularly if you search Dr Google, however, we will do our best to educate you with what this means and how exercise will help, easing your worries and concerns. 

 

A big part of Longevity Exercise Physiologists aim is to prevent further disease or co-morbidities, and therefore we set long term goals to maintain independence and quality of life.

2. Seated Row

ByJarrat Wood

Welcome to the second instalment of my detailed look at some of the most common exercises performed in the gym. Last week we looked at the Bench Press (click here) and this week we look at what is very commonly the partner in crime of the Bench Press, the Seated Row. I say partner in crime but really these two exercises compliment each other extremely well and they are the “bread and butter” of any good upper body strengthening program. Read on for my top tips and tricks for performing this exercise:

As a Tough Mudder I Pledge That…

ByJarrat Wood
As the pledge was read and repeated like Wedding vowels, with earnest and gusto by the 600 odd participants in the second wave of Mudders about to embark on the 18 kilometres of mud, obstacles and some say torture on a hot Sunday morning, you could excuse the four of us for not stopping for a moment and think – what did we just sign up for? Our decision to take on the super-human Mudder course began in August.  Adam, Mark, Tom and myself had a discussion in the office one day and the next minute we were entered as ‘Heavy Ten’, in reference to the state of a thoroughbred race track after the maximal amount of rain it can endure before the races are abandoned. When we approached Jarrat to tell him the good news, his eyes lit up, for Jarrat this meant one thing, an excuse to make them feel more pain and strain than normal.
