Who’s hungry 💪🏻🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♂️⛹️🏌️‍♀️🧘🏊‍♀️🚣🧗🚴🏆😄

Exercise snacking is a sure way to gain energy on the days you’re just not feeling it.

Body and Soul recently interviewed ESSA’s Chief Exercise Physiologist, Nick Edwards, about how exercise can make a difference to your energy levels.

“Just trying to be active in as many ways as you can throughout the day, it all adds up,” says Edwards. “Every time you get an annoying email, go for a little walk around the office. Do some sit and stands up and down in the chair, a few turns and twists and a bit of movement.”

“If our muscles are really strong, if our heart and lungs are strong and fit, every part of the day that’s wearing us down is going to have a little bit less of an effect, our bodies will be a little bit stronger and more resilient towards these things,” explains Edwards.

Why men may have more to gain from Pilates.

Pilates is often associated with women, but this popular form of exercise offers valuable benefits for older men too.

Accredited Exercise Physiologist Jasmin Duffus explains that Pilates focuses on mobility and flexibility, two key areas that naturally decline as we age.

She also notes that many men over 50 have spent years in physically demanding jobs and may not have prioritised structured exercise outside of work. Pilates can help rebuild movement quality, improve strength and support long term physical health.
