00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: I did, I kind of.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: I went to Melbourne with Nike Lovely last week for

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: a couple of days. I had the full Nike immersion

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: because I'm going to run a half persa marathon.

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Hello, half marathon with them. Amazing.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: So I went down to learn all about their new shoe,

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: the Pegasus forty one, which was really interesting.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: Okay, what it knew? What's the top line highlight about

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: the shoe?

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Well, it's just very comfortable to run in. It feels

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: like I'm running on clouds.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: That's exactly what you want exactly.

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: And this is not this is not.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: A paid paid plug for Nike, but actually it was

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: really fun.

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Great.

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a great time and excuse go to

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 4: Melbourne as well. I love Melbourne.

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Exactly, it's not my second home. Yeah.

31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I feel like my long weekend was

32
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: probably just come down, come down and running.

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah lovely, how about you my long weekend?

34
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: And I feel like I've spoken to a couple of

35
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: other people who said this, it was just unbelievably boring

36
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: because I didn't know it was coming, so it hit

37
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: me and I had planned like one thing, and so

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: it was a lot of me staring into space. But

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: I actually think that was good because I needed some

40
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: calm time just to you know, come back to center

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: after being in Japan and having a busy couple of

42
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Japan exactly Japan. So it was peaceful, calm, nice. I

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: feel refreshed, which.

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Is all you want. So take the word boring out

45
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: of it, and it was actually just lovely.

46
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, you were just still Yeah, I was still,

47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: which I'm not very good at doing that.

48
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: Well, August through what's been happening on Body and Soul

49
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: this week.

50
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: So my favorite story from this week is why Brolarates

51
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 4: is taking the fitness world by storm. So, if your

52
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: algorithm is anything like mine, you might have seen some

53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: videos of groups of men, in particular athletes and sports

54
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 4: teams taking up polarates.

55
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Have you seen soccer players on the Reformers?

56
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: Hilarious, They're so funny, so good, And I've also never

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: been more proud to be a woman, like the way

58
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: that instructors show them and they're like, it's very fun.

59
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: We must have the same algorithm because that has pocked

60
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: up many times on mine too.

61
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.

62
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: Other than making just like very funny social content, it

63
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: speaks actually to a wider trend in the fitness world,

64
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: which is a lot of men are taking up polarates.

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: So the writer of this story, she spoke to Laura Quinn,

66
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: who's the head polarates training trainer at Alo Studios in La.

67
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: Have you heard of Alo?

68
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: They make Yes, like the most luxurious active way that

69
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: loves Haley be Beer loves.

70
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: You of their Okay, I do have these.

71
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Nuts little shorts that I like surrounding only at home.

72
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very stealth, wealth active where it's chice.

73
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I bought on sale in New York at Christmas.

74
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for the disclaimer. So Laura said that

75
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: it was actually Cristiano Ronaldo posting about it, which helped

76
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: spark that shift, and now a bunch of other celebrities

77
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: like Justin Bieber and Glen Powell have also said how

78
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: much they like it and so along with these like

79
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: high profile men giving it their take of approval, she

80
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: also said a lot of the time it's because people's

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: girlfriends or sisters take their men, these men along to

82
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: their classes and then they're discovering how good a workout

83
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: it is, which we know pilates is. You know, it's

84
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: a huge laundry list of physical benefits like flexibility and

85
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: core strength and you know, balance and stuff like that.

86
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: You know, everyone wants to improve those areas of their fitness.

87
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: So it's great that these men are jumping on board.

88
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: Actually that at the Sydney Swan's headquarters, they opened a

89
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: new headquarters last year. They renovated and they have size

90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: change rooms for AFL W players and AFL players.

91
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: Good.

92
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: But they also put in a polarate studio. I love that,

93
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: which I thought was really interesting for the women but

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: also the men. So you will often see the players,

95
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: the male players in there, you know, doing their thing.

96
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the reformants for like an athlete as well, polarites

97
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 4: is such a good exercise to do because of it,

98
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: you know, the balance, the corese drength that everything at

99
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: targets is so beneficial.

100
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: Big right now is parties.

101
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: I do think there it's something about the need to

102
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: constantly label things as like approved for by men, Like

103
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: there's something about putting bro or man ahead of something.

104
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Like giving back to patriarchy.

105
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: Well a little bit, I feel like it's okay to

106
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: like polarates without it being brolarates or like guy Lartes.

107
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: It's actually fine.

108
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Yes, just call it Polarti.

109
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: Everyone Larti's exactly, It's just politis the Lati's name.

110
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to be honest. I should do more polarates.

111
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: I do actually really like reformer, but I tend to

112
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: run instead.

113
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: I should do both.

114
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you speaking to someone who actually doesn't do

115
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: it either. I'm a yoga safe space a yoga person.

116
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: I do it, and I can absolutely appreciate the benefits,

117
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: but it doesn't work in my routine.

118
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: I do think it is like the hardest work out

119
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 4: I've ever done in my life.

120
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: The light is it is so hard, and that's good.

121
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: It means it's working.

122
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: No I think it's good that you know these men

123
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: are hitting the reformer beds with their girlfriends, their teammates

124
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 4: and on their own.

125
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to talk about sleep today now. In

126
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: case we need another reminder of the importance of sleep,

127
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: we have one perfect another study, but this one is

128
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: with actual numbers. So this study is about to be

129
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: published in the journal Sleep, and it reveals that adding

130
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: forty six minutes of sleep to your teen each night

131
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: can measurably increase the positives of life. The positives of life. Okay,

132
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: let me unpaid.

133
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Okay.

134
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: The study involved ninety adults and they are randomly assigned

135
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: to late bedtimes, early bedtimes, or to sleep normally across

136
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: a single work wheat, and then they were monitored and

137
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: they also had to keep notes and record how they

138
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: felt like their feelings of particularly flourishing, resilience, and gratitude.

139
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: So this study was a.

140
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: Bit different because there are many studies out there that

141
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: have looked at the impact of poor sleep on mental health,

142
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: but this one was actually looking at the positives impact

143
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: on sleep on our mental health.

144
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: So kind of qualitative as well. Exactly feeling of flourishing.

145
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to quantify that.

146
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point.

147
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: I definitely notice when you are flourishing and when you're not,

148
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: absolutely you know's when you're in your optimal state. So basically,

149
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: they found that measures of flourishing, resilience, and gratitude significantly

150
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: improved across the week with sleep extension, significantly worsened with

151
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: sleep restriction. So sleep extendard participants wrote twice as much

152
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: on their gratitude list as the other participants in the study.

153
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: So basically they concluded that forty six minutes per night

154
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: at boosted your mood, whereas thirty seven minutes less your

155
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: mood was reduced. Wow, don't ask me how they got

156
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: to those numbers.

157
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: Very specific, but it also feels achievable exactly, but so

158
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: little increments, just adding though, So basically going to bed earlier,

159
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes.

160
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: It's like habit stacking. Just fine. I'm a huge advocate
