You need more than just exercise.

Today we take you through a story of a female in her mid-50’s who began training with Longevity Exercise Physiology at our Lindfield location at age 56. She had trained as a young adult, but after becoming a mum and working at the same time, she put her own health and wellbeing on the back…

Recently we published a post asking you a very important question: “What do you want?”. You can read the full article here. Before you read on, I want to make sure that you choose something. You can choose ANYTHING related to your health: reduce pain, lose weight, increase energy levels, live until I’m 100! You can choose anything you like. Choose it now.

The most important part of choosing what you want is making sure it is connected to what is most important to you. If family is important to you, make sure you connect it back to your family. If having a successful career is important to you, then connect it back to that. If your relationship with your partner is important, then connect it back to that. Check that what you want is connected to what you value the most and then read on.

If there is one thing for sure that I have learnt after working with hundreds of clients regarding behaviour change, it is that if what you want is not connected to what you see as the most important things in your life and what you value the most, then you will not take the necessary steps to turn what you want into a reality. 

So now that you know what you want, read on to see what the next steps are….

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:

Your cancer journey doesn’t end when treatment finishes—rebuilding your strength, confidence and quality of life is where the next chapter begins. A cancer diagnosis can be life-changing, but research continues to show that exercise is one of the most effective ways to support recovery, reduce treatment-related side effects and improve long-term health.
