“Cause’ you and me, getting lean, and posting sh**

A recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald has brought to light the underestimated importance of grip strength in predicting longevity. But the benefits go beyond just a strong grip. In this blog, we explore how working with a Longevity Exercise Physiologist can not only enhance your grip strength but also improve various aspects of…

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….

Setting the scene My journey with Longevity started almost 4,000km away from any of it’s clinics, in Perth, with a simple phone call. A phone call that, unbeknownst to me at the time, would give me the opportunity to become part of the #bluetsunami of Exercise Physiologists (EP’s) set to revolutionise Australia’s healthcare. So why…

Today Longevity Exercise Physiology Drummoyne, Edgecliff, Marrickville, Bella Vista, Randwick, Lindfield and Balmain look at the role hip flexors play and decide if they really deserve the bad rap they often get! Often hip flexors get a bit of a bad rap when it comes to muscles being ‘tight’. Most people have been given a hip flexor stretch to do…
