Welcome, Guy, Our New Exercise Physiologist!

ByJarrat Wood

Longevity Exercise Physiology Drummoyne,Edgecliff, Marrickville,Bella Vista, Randwick, Lindfield and Balmain are very excited to welcome Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Guy.

Growing up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Guy has always been immersed within an active lifestyle filled with sports and physical activity. He has always participated in a myriad of competitive sports such as swimming, surf life saving, surfing, rugby union and powerlifting. However, this active lifestyle didn’t come originally by choice of passion, rather a drive to improve his long-term health.

At a very young age, Guy had severe asthma which he inherited from his mother and was recommended by a respiratory specialist to partake in swimming to build up his respiratory capacity. From the age of 18 months, he began swimming consistently all the way until his late adolescence, which involved swimming competitively for swim clubs and representing his school. This in turn resulted in him having no respiratory issues.

This appreciation manifested itself further at University where he completed a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology at the University of New South Wales. Here he learnt the vital role exercise plays in the prevention and management of chronic disease and injury, and how he can make a positive impact on lives of Australians living with a chronic health condition.

Guy has gained experience working with a range of clientele with varying health conditions and age, and has the passion to help everyone improve their health to live a longer, healthier and happier life.

Guy will be available at our Edgecliff and Marrickville Locations

The Elephant and the Rider Revisited

ByJarrat Wood

This week my focus is on dietary practices with many of my clients. More specifically, I am promoting a non-diet approach to your diet – what!! What I mean is that your diet should be based on regular healthy eating and not based on sensationalised programs that are not endorsed by professionals. One of the tough aspects of any kind of healthy practice is that it can wear you down. Self-discipline and will power are not a infinite commodities. To the contrary, it is finite, and when we run out we’re in BIG trouble. So here are two of my favourite fables revisited about maintaining your discipline. I want you to also remember that by providing your body with excellent fuel, then you are giving yourself the best chance to maintain your discipline. Just like good exercise breeds more energy, good eating breeds better decisions and a healthier psychological disposition. Enjoy the fables:

My First 5km!

ByJarrat Wood

I don’t think I’ve ever had 2 more nervous clients in the week leading up to the inaugural Accidental Runners 5km – and understandably so. I have tremendous respect for anyone who is willing to step out of their comfort zone and to take on your first 5km race is no mean feat. I’m not sure if either of them thought when I first suggested that it was time to take on a challenge that we would actually follow through with it. So understandably, there were some very nervous conversations and training sessions in the final couple of weeks before the race.
