Lifting out of back pain with Tanya Gordon
“Essentially we live longer now so if we’re not looking after ourselves, by the time we’ve done all this work and we’ve built this business and we’ve earned all this money, what are we going to have left at the end of it?”
“I discovered my back ache completely went. I never had the issues. Yes, you got the muscular, as you said, like, oh, I’ve got my DOMS, the delayed onset muscle soreness the next day and the day after, but nothing with my actual back pain.”
Good days and bad days with two stomas and Barbie surgery with Siobhan Coleman
The impact of surgery on everyday life can be significant, requiring adjustments and finding new ways to stay active. Exenteration surgery brings about physical and emotional changes, and while the person may not be the same as before, they can gradually have more good days and fewer bad days.

Future proofing your health and business with Kellie Williams

“I enjoy helping people. So I had this idea about my business at the drop of a hat to be able to help business people run their businesses.”
“I’ve got a heart condition called Wolff Parkinson White.”

The dynamics of stretching with Steve Shreeve
Dynamic stretching is different from mobility exercises and is more about warming up the body and preparing it for physical activity.
Dynamic stretching involves stretching through movement, rather than holding a stretch.
The benefits of dynamic stretching include improving active range of motion, raising core body temperature, lubricating joints, and reducing the risk of injury.
Dynamic stretching is time-efficient, effective, and can be adapted for beginners or advanced individuals.
Dynamic stretching can be incorporated into various activities, such as swimming, and can also be used as a cool-down exercise.
It is important to perform dynamic stretches slowly and controlled, avoiding bouncing or jerking movements.
