XAND VAN TULLEKEN: Why I’m so worried that millions of people like my twin brother don’t exercise

admin

My identical twin brother Chris is at the start of the Hackney half-marathon. I have written a bit of a race plan for him — ‘I need you to come out of the blocks very hard, OK? Have you got your heart rate zones worked out?’ I ask him.

He’s done no training whatsoever.

‘You really think I go as fast as I possibly can, and then what?’ he asks me, testily.

I explain: ‘Your job is to intimidate the

Long COVID Breaks the Rules of Exercise

admin

In the weeks after she caught COVID, in May 2022, Lauren Shoemaker couldn’t wait to return to her usual routine of skiing, backpacking, and pregaming her family’s eight-mile hikes with three-mile jogs. All went fine in the first few weeks after her infection. Then, in July, hours after finishing a hike, Shoemaker started to feel off; two days later, she couldn’t make it to the refrigerator without feeling utterly exhausted. Sure it was a fluke, she tried to hike again—and

admin

Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent searching for cures for chronic diseases.

But there is a natural antidote that costs nothing and is available to everyone – exercise.

There is now definitive evidence that just 20 minutes of physical activity per day slashes the risk of cancer, dementia and heart disease by around a third.

Working mums going through the menopause who have reinvented themselves as fitness influencers… And they know EXACTLY how hard it is to find the time – and energy – to exercise

admin

Did you think being a fitness influencer required a home gym, a sculpted six-pack, a fake tanner on speed dial and an account at Lululemon? Think again.

Now, if my own experience is anything to go by, the entry requirements are no more than a ten-year-old pair of leggings, a £14.99 tripod from Amazon and an HRT prescription.

I fell into the role of ‘mid-life fitness influencer’ earlier this year at the age of 55, when videos of me doing

The Exercise That Changed My Relationship With My Body

admin

In the locker room, women’s voices discuss the temperature of the air (too cold), their gardens (the weeds!), their sisters (impossible). I eavesdrop as I pull on my one-piece and flip-flops, grab my bag of toys. Blithely I bypass the lap pool; not once in my adult life have I craved more repetitive activity. Instead I set up shop on the side of the warm-water pool — foam weights, kickboard, noodle — and, slipping into the 92-degree water, I sense

Mindful particularly of the former, scientists have been looking at ways that provide the benefits of exercise —without actually doing it.

THINK YOURSELF STRONGER
