And yeah, just get back out there 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: and run. 38 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: Well, you're back in the land of the living now, 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: so you can venture out soon hopefully. 40 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. Now tell us what story on 41 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: body and soul this week was perhaps the most intriguing to. 42 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: You, soorry. 43 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: The one that caught my attention the most is should 44 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: you really be doing pilates? You're a polities fan? 45 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: If, Liz, I am not? 46 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Oh really is controversial from I really? 47 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: Which makes us the outliers for this industry, I would say, 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: But as we know, polines is one of the most 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: popular ways. 50 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: To work out. 51 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: There are so many fans and people love it because 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: it improves your strength your flexibility, your posture, and so on. 53 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: But there is a downside because a lot of these 54 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: studios are kind of a one size fits all approach, 55 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: especially if you're in big classes, and they're primarily to 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 3: encourage people to partake in community and to get out 57 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: of their houses and to start exercising, which obviously is 58 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: great because that's you know, one of the biggest barriers 59 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: to health is actually getting out and doing it. 60 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: But there are a lot of instructors who have nothing. 61 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: More than the basic kind of qualifications to their name, 62 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: and the teaching classes that don't offer a huge amount 63 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: of personalization, which can be an issue. 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: So there are two downsides. 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 3: Instead of really tailored programs that are right for your body, 66 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: you're grouped in with people in quite an overstimulating environment, 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: like I've done Pilarates classes before, where the music is 68 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: really loud and it's really hectic and full on, and 69 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: so if you're trying to get those proper results which 70 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: come from alignment and kind of precision, you might not 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: have the ability to kind of tap into that and 72 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 3: do it properly. And then the second thing is if 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: you have existing injuries, that sort of environment doesn't allow 74 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 3: you a lot of the time to kind of slow 75 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: down and tweak what you're doing so you can kind 76 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: of overdo it and not not knowing your body's limitations. 77 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: So do you need to cancel your next pilities class? 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: Not necessarily, but experts say that you should do your 79 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: due diligence and research the setting and figure out if 80 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: it's right for you, especially if you're a beginner. So 81 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: this is music to my ears, obviously, because as a 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: non Polites person, I'm not perfect. 83 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: I don't need to go. 84 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: But for those who are Polartes fans, it's maybe worth 85 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: doing a bit of research. 86 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this story to well the Table 87 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: today because we actually have an expert on next week 88 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: talking about this. And obviously I think we talked about 89 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: this maybe before six months or so ago, because there 90 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: was a bit of a call to action from various 91 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: instructors around Australia that there needs to be some regulatory 92 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: body to govern what's going on, because you can just 93 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: go and get a Plartes Instructors course quite swiftly compared 94 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: to other fitness instructors around. So we do have someone 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: coming on next week to talk about this more so, Yeah, 96 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: thanks for giving me the chance to plug that episode 97 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: next week. Listens and listen is just let you know. 98 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: This is actually serendipitous, the fact that Holly brought this 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: story to the table and that I have scheduled next 100 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: week someone to chat about this, So thank you. 101 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: I think that just proves that we're both clued in 102 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: with the news cycle. Flish. 103 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, big tick to both, which you would hope. 104 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, over to you. What on your mind 105 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: this week? 106 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, I came across this thing called a daily Dopamine Menu. 107 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: Have you heard of this? Oh? 108 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 2: I haven't really? 109 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So I mean I love cutesy, quirky stuff like this. 110 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: We've had the dopamine dressing and many people still dress 111 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: like this. We've had the dopamine decor, we've got the 112 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: dopamine supplements. But the daily Dopamine Menu is something that's 113 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: free and easy and we can all do. And it 114 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: was designed by a UK neuroscientist and author, Nicole Vignola, 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: and she came up with the idea to counteract the 116 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: amount of time we spend staring at our screens and 117 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: the pool that TikTok and Instagram have on us when 118 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: we just are needing that downtime, and we just pick 119 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: up our phone and doom scroll and all of a sudden, 120 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: there goes thirty minutes. 121 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: She said, had to have a TikTok hole exactly. 122 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: We've all been there, she says, have your daily do 123 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: menu ready and waiting. So when you do reach for 124 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: the screen, pop it up. Preferably not on your screen. 125 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: You can write it out or print it out and 126 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: put it on your fridge or in your bedroom or bathroom. Basically, 127 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know what dop mean is it's 128 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: the neurotransmitter made in the brain, the feel good hormone 129 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: that's part of the body's reward system. It's what gets 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: hyped up when we are after things that are fun 131 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: and rewarding. You know, there's small things like food or 132 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: social media hits, but it's also the one that drives 133 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: us to take bigger risks where whether it is at 134 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: work or take on challenges like a half marathon. So 135 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: this whole idea of the menu is basically like a menu, 136 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: you have a starter's main course, sides, dessert, and specials, 137 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: and it's just putting little things in there that give 138 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: you a personal dope, mean hit that you know that 139 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: you can do instead of reaching for the phone. So 140 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the starters, she says, quick activities you enjoy that will 141 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: give you that little dope mean hit, like stretching coffee 142 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: which yes, tick loves, yes me, finally putting the washing 143 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: away or so love. And then the main course are 144 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: more challenging and rewarding activities like you know, striving for 145 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: a half marathon. I'm just using this example because it 146 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: rings true for me. Sides of those dope meine releasing 147 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: activities that you engage with while completing a separate task, 148 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: for example, following the washing while listening to your favorite podcast. Okay, 149 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: dessert is using social media, but more as a treat, 150 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: so not letting it dominate your day, not spending thirty 151 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: minutes on TikTok. And then the specials and little dope 152 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: mean hits like getting in nails done and eating out. 153 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: You know those fun things that you think, oh, I 154 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: feel good after doing that. So this is just her 155 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: idea to get us away from the screens. If we 156 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: feel that pool of social media, refer to your dope 157 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: mean menu and yeah, and then you're getting that pure, joyful, 158 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: dope mean hit rather than filling crap after scrolling thirty 159 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: minutes on TikTok. 160 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: I love this and it's kind of yeah, you're right. 161 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: It's that pure dope mein that you get without it 162 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: being marred by the bad sides of social media. So 163 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: it sounds like something you should write out and step 164 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: up on your fridge or even stick off the back 165 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: of your phone. 166 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Oh I like that. That's a good idea. 167 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: You got it on hand at all times. 168 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: Okay, I will check your phone next time we're in 169 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: the studio. Now, just quickly before we go, give us 170 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: a quick rundown of the most clicked story of the week. 171 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: So a really joyful way to cap on this week's 172 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: episode is these are the top ten causes of death 173 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: around the world.
