“As a working mother of two, I exercise not just for the health benefits, but for a bit of unapologetic ‘me’ time as well.” Anita Hobson-Powell, CEO of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) #30for30 #ReasonsToExercise #ExerciseAwarenessMonth

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few years sharing my knowledge with you. I’ve also been lucky enough to have a number of clients who have been willing to share their personal stories with you to inspire, motivate and sometimes just to relate. Today, for the first time I am sharing with you my personal story. This is the health story that when I reflect now has most shaped the person, the professional and the athlete that I have become. I hope that it will give you insight into what inspires me to come to work every day and change attitudes to life, death and disease through exercise:

The Longevity Exercise Physiology Team at Longevity Exercise Physiology Drummoyne,Edgecliff, Marrickville,Bella Vista, Randwick, Lindfield and Balmain all use bench press as a way to increase upper body strength in their exercise sessions.

This is a deep quote that hits home every time we read it. Ultimately, this has brought us to writing this article on rest periods.

Why is it that we are constantly feeling pressed for time? Why do we always keep track of time whether it’s with our cell phones, watches, or clocks? Why do we always look at the time to see if it’s 5 pm yet at work? We are always keeping track of time, but why is it that we don’t keep track of time when we are training, as in our rest periods?

We’ve found that a lot of people don’t do it simply because they are always in a rush, too lazy to keep track of it, or they don’t understand the benefits of it. So, before we get down-right nasty with this article, just remember that this might not be your cup of tea, but trust us, we will make you think twice about going to buy a stop watch or busting out your I Pod’s stop watch during training.
