How did your exercise habit go in 2022?

The podcast for women who hate working out but know they should. No diets, no fads, and absolutely no burpees, just evidence-based health and fitness advice for women over 30. Hosted by lifelong exercise sloths, Gab and Sarah. Produced and edited by Gab BurkeMusic by Hamish Camilleri

The information in this episode is a game-changer. The benefits of exercise for your physical and mental well-being are widely known, but did you know regular exercise can also reduce your risk of cancer? A recent study from Tel Aviv University has produced results that are so astounding, they made the front page of the November issue of the journal Cancer Research. (In science terms it’s like getting the front page of the September issue of Vogue). The study found that aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by a whopping 72%. On this episode, Sarah explains the role of exercise both in cancer prevention and the management of cancer.  Contact us: womenlikeyoupodcast@gmail.com An Exercise-Induced Metabolic Shield in Distant Organs Blocks Cancer Progression and Metastatic Dissemination https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/82/22/4164/710131/An-Exercise-Induced-Metabolic-Shield-in-Distant Exercise is proven to aid cancer treatments, so why don't patients have subsidised access to rehab? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-11/study-shows-exercise-helps-cancer-treatments/12867650  References: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S1550413117305673?token=A7DBF43852CEB793F5F668569976F7D57DCFC7C3388C07BA68F6D77851B5FB7D9D202CF646CBEDC5C6CB37635FE9797D&amp;originRegion=us-east-1&amp;originCreation=20221207203721 https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/obesity/physical-activity-fact-sheet  Keimling M, Behrens G, Schmid D, Jochem C, Leitzmann MF.

The information in this episode is a game-changer. The benefits of exercise for your physical and mental well-being are widely known, but did you know regular exercise can also reduce your risk of cancer? A recent study from Tel Aviv University has produced results that are so astounding, they made the front page of the November issue of the journal Cancer Research. (In science terms it’s like getting the front page of the September issue of Vogue). The study found that aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by a whopping 72%. On this episode, Sarah explains the role of exercise both in cancer prevention and the management of cancer.  Contact us: <a href="mailto:womenlikeyoupodcast@gmail.com">womenlikeyoupodcast@gmail.com</a> <a href="https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/82/22/4164/710131/An-Exercise-Induced-Metabolic-Shield-in-Distant" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">An Exercise-Induced Metabolic Shield in Distant Organs Blocks Cancer Progression and Metastatic Dissemination https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/82/22/4164/710131/An-Exercise-Induced-Metabolic-Shield-in-Distant</a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-11/study-shows-exercise-helps-cancer-treatments/12867650" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Exercise is proven to aid cancer treatments, so why don't patients have subsidised access to rehab? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-11/study-shows-exercise-helps-cancer-treatments/12867650</a> References: <a href="https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S1550413117305673?token=A7DBF43852CEB793F5F668569976F7D57DCFC7C3388C07BA68F6D77851B5FB7D9D202CF646CBEDC5C6CB37635FE9797D&amp;originRegion=us-east-1&amp;originCreation=20221207203721" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S1550413117305673?token=A7DBF43852CEB793F5F668569976F7D57DCFC7C3388C07BA68F6D77851B5FB7D9D202CF646CBEDC5C6CB37635FE9797D&amp;originRegion=us-east-1&amp;originCreation=20221207203721</a> <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/obesity/physical-activity-fact-sheet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/obesity/physical-activity-fact-sheet</a> Keimling M, Behrens G, Schmid D, Jochem C, Leitzmann MF.

Can exercise reduce your risk of cancer?

Have you heard about “shredding”? It’s a fitness buzz term used to describe dieting and exercising to extreme levels in order to drop body fat quickly.  The “summer shred” is all about getting your beach bod ready for the warmer months. If you ask us, “shredding” for any season is a big no-no, and it turns out a lot of Australians might agree. On this episode, Gab and Sarah explain why more Aussies are apparently ditching this intense approach to exercise.

You’ve heard about push-ups, right? Done against a wall or with your knees on the ground, or if you’re super hardcore, a full push-up in the plank position.

The easiest push-up you'll ever do

When was the last time you had a skin check-up at your doctor or dermatologist? Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world - two to three times the rates in Canada, the U.S. and the UK. Current data shows that two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70, and the majority of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. So when you’re exercising outdoors, it’s so important to think about things like sunscreen, hats, and appropriate clothing.  On this episode, Gab and Sarah look at the different types of skin cancers, who is most at risk, and some practical tips for how to give yourself the best possible sun protection.
