Does listening to music improve exercise?

Do you listen to music when you exercise? For Gab and Sarah, a banging playlist is essential. Sometimes the only way to stay motivated during a workout is to turn up the volume and focus on the tunes. Gab and Sarah look at a new study which explains a link between music and exercise, and a beautiful email from a WLY mum.

It's time to stop the negative self-talk

How often do you criticise yourself? When it comes to exercise, we can be way too hard on ourselves. We might believe things like we’re not ‘sporty’, or that we don't have any athletic ability. Most of these ‘beliefs’ come from things people have said to us and have no basis in reality. Gab and Sarah tackle negative self-talk and why what you say to yourself matters.

Are you at risk of type 2 diabetes?

Forget about exercising for a ‘bikini body’, it’s time to start thinking about your health. Did you know diabetes is the world's fastest growing chronic health condition? One of Gab’s friends (a seemingly healthy 30-something) has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Sarah explains the key risk factors to watch out for and why exercise is so important for keeping you healthy.

What’s the hardest part about exercise?

68% of the Women Like You community said lack of motivation was their biggest challenge. Gab and Sarah introduce you to their ‘Out of 10 Rule' which will help you stay on track even when you have zero motivation to work out. This neat little trick is the reason they’ve been able to keep up a regular exercise habit for the first time ever.

How much exercise do you actually need to do?

Finding time to exercise is hard. Between work, relationships, home life, raising children, making time for friends, caring for ageing parents (while living through a global pandemic) there aren’t enough hours in a day. Gab and Sarah explain the minimum amount of moderate intensity activity you need to do each week.

Why you're not lazy

Why is it so hard to exercise regularly? You know it’s good for you. You know it will improve your mental and physical wellbeing, and you know it can help prevent chronic health conditions. So why don’t you do it? Gab and Sarah explain why you’re not lazy, you're genetically adapted to rest.

Is Running The Best Way To Lose Weight?

It blows my mind how many exercise newbies I meet that think that running is the only way to lose weight.
They’ll tell me about their most recent two, three, or five mile run at a 10:30 or slower pace, excited and obviously proud of their achievement. But when they ask me how much I run and I reply with “never,” their jaw nearly drops to the floor.

“How can you keep in shape without running?” they’ll ask me, clearly dumbfounded.

“Easy,” I’ll tell them. “I do everything but run. Because running is not the only—nor necessarily the best—way to get in shape.”
