1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Heather Duper see.

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 2: Al eighteen past five. Now we're going to deal with

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: the school uniforms in about twenty minutes time. Right now,

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: if you made yourself a New Year's resolution to get

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: fitter using one of those online trends, you need to

6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: listen up, because the general advice coming in right now

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: is that it's probably worth giving it all a skip

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: and doing it the hard way. Alex Flint is the

9
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: founder of Body Talking with Us.

10
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Hi, Alex, Hi, Heather, healthy and Happy New Year to you.

11
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: It's going to be health. It's going to be healthy, Alex.

12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: It's not been healthy up to now.

13
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: Right.

14
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: I want to get your take on some of the

15
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: things that's going around at the moment. Right got the

16
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: seventy five hard challenge? Have you done it?

17
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: No? I haven't done it.

18
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: I've talked to many people that have attempted it, not

19
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: too many people that have done so well at it. Obviously,

20
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: it incorporates a lot of hard stuff to work out

21
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: today for seventy five days straight, picking a diet, drinking

22
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: a gallon or so of water. Basically, it's one that

23
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: looks great on the surface, but when it comes down

24
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: to us can really easily set us up for failure,

25
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: especially around surrounding unhealthy relationships with what it takes to

26
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: get in shape and find something system.

27
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's unsustainable, isn't it? Doing all of that

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: stuff like two workouts a day at forty five minutes

29
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: as a hell of a lot of work. What about

30
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: this business with a heart rate and zone two?

31
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's zone two is something which has definitely

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: come to the four as a way for us to

33
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: increase our what we call our base health, so things

34
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: like our.

35
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Blood pressure, our overall cardiovascular health.

36
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: And it's an easier form of exercise, cardiovascular exercise.

37
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: It's not that sort of hit going really hard out.

38
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 2: Would you do it? Can? I? Is this the one?

39
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: Is this the one I should be looking at?

40
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? I absolutely agree that it's something that we should

41
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: be doing.

42
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: About eighty percent of the exercise we do should be

43
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: at at a rate which we feel we can sustain.

44
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: It's enjoyable, and it's something that we can back up

45
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: day by day. A couple of hard exercise sessions a week, Ye,

46
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: no problem. But overdoing it usually just ends up in

47
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: just being sore, tired, fatigued and reaching for the chocolate

48
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: biscuits at night.

49
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so we found one that isn't actually completely looming.

50
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: What do you have to do to get your heart

51
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: rate and zone two? Is it just a bit of

52
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: a walk?

53
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably what you'd say, exercise at a rate

54
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: where you could hold a conversation but you couldn't sing

55
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: a song.

56
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: So it's vigorous.

57
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: It's definitely you've got a bit of huff and puff

58
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: in a sweat up, but it's not so hard that

59
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: you know you're absolutely done inside twenty minutes. You probably

60
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: keep it up for an hour.

61
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a bit more than a walk, then cold

62
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: plunge after working out.

63
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely one of those i'd call majoring in

64
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: the miners. So we know there's a bit of research

65
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: when it comes to improving mood and maybe our immunity.

66
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: But if it's a thing that you're really hanging your

67
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: hat on for your health and wellness in twenty twenty six,

68
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: you're probably barking up the wrong tree.

69
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: You know.

70
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: When it comes down to it, it's really a case

71
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: of regular exercise, good nutrition, and really just good company.

72
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: You know. We put those things together and we get

73
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: a healthy mindset.

74
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: And a good long term outlook and a good way

75
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: to keep ourselves fit in the help.

76
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it seems like the central lesson here.

77
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: You can't cut the corners. There's no easy there's no

78
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: silver bullet here or easy out. You just got to

79
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: do the hard work.

80
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: That's it.

81
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: It comes down to work, a relative level of self

82
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: discipline and just finding everyday joy and what you're doing

83
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: and maybe you know, finding some people around you that

84
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: enjoy the same stuff, so you've got someone to swing

85
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: off and hang out with good stuff.

86
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,480
