Description
Physiotherapist Adam Meakins gets into the detail about what good exercise is and how the right exercise can help individuals to build strength
In today’s society, humans move less but it’s really important to move more - that’s what humans are designed to do and Adam explains how exercise exposes you to effort, challenge and difficulty and means you are more robust and resilient to all challenges in this focused and informative look at why exercise really does make the difference
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Exercise is anything that is effortful and challenging and physical activity is something that is not effortful
The world health organisation guidelines recommend a minimum of 300 minutes of exercise per week
The sessions of exercise need to last for longer than ten minutes
The recommendation is for at least two sessions of resistance-based exercise weekly covering all muscle groups in the body
Resistance can be applied by an external force or the body
Exercise makes things better by initially making things worse
When we exercise we cause adverse reactions - blood pressure rises, stress increases hormones are released and micro-damage to muscle tissue is caused.
Exercise triggers processes that are positive responses and means our bodies super compensate
Exercise helps to reduce a multitude of pain even though we don’t fully understand how
You can’t avoid pain but you can reduce your risk through exercise
Exercise exposes you to effort, challenge and difficulty and this means you are more robust and resilient to all challenges
Exercise helps people both physically and psychologically
There is no such thing as a bad exercise only those that are poorly prescribed
Attaching meaningful goals to exercise can be motivating
Any movement is a dynamical system and all human movement is dynamical
BEST MOMENTS
‘What exercise is can be defined by being effortful’
‘Exercise helps to repair our DNA’
‘Good exercise is something that makes you feel good’
