Lessons, Growth, and Goodbyes: My Final Week at Longevity

Hey, it’s Charlie. I’m in my first year at the University of Sydney, studying a Masters of Exercise Physiology, and I’m back again for another week  in review of my placement at Longevity Marrickville. Let’s see how my last week here at Longevity treated me…

This week I had my last sessions with some great clients that I have had the pleasure of training and getting to know for the last 6 weeks. A sad goodbye, definitely, but I feel great knowing that they are progressing towards and in some cases already smashing their goals. Thanks to the EP’s here at Longevity Marrickville, they continued to challenge me and give me more opportunities to have more responsibility during client sessions and beyond. 

I continued to work on areas of improvements I had picked up on in my weekly performance reflections, and felt that this last week I had really improved greatly on all of the areas of improvement noted from week to week. 

On Wednesday night I had the pleasure of attending a team dinner with the wider Longevity team. Here I met Jarrat Wood, the director of Longevity, who along with the rest of the team made me feel very welcome. I learnt some invaluable information from Jarrat about business, life, overcoming adversity and also how to continue improving as an exercise physiologist. I’ll definitely take these tips and tricks into my final year of study to come out the other side of University in the best possible position to start my career.

On that note, over and out from me. It’s been a pleasure. 

Thanks for reading my weekly blogs. I would definitely recommend Longevity for a student placement or internship if you are interested in progressing your career in a supportive environment.

  • Interval Training and Music – The Perfect Marriage

    Need to kickstart some changes in your world? The pursuit of anything in life is best done with a balanced approach – both mental, emotional and physical. But how best to achieve this balance in order to make the change when you don’t have the time? The secret to spending less time inside a gym and still reaping the benefits of a great workout is Interval Training.  

     

    Interval Training – go at maximum effort for a short period of time, recover during the rest period, and repeat.  It sounds too simple to be effective, but science doesn’t lie. 

     

    Countless scientific studies have also shown that listening to music during exercise can improve results, both in terms of being a motivator (people exercise longer and more vigorously) and as a distraction from negatives like fatigue. You already know this though – nothing beats attacking that last kilometre on the treadmill just as your favourite dance tune drops, or getting to the top of THAT hill on your run just as your iPod shuffles onto “Eye of the Tiger” …
