This week Sarah is on a study break so Gab enlisted the help of her brother Adrian who is an exercise scientist.

Adrian works predominantly with dancers, focusing on strength and conditioning. After her recent foot injury, Gab wanted to know if it's possible to strengthen the muscles in the feet to avoid re-injury.

In part 1 of this two-part episode, Adrian explains some of the underlying causes of foot problems and how it might actually be a lack of core strength that is leading to alignment issues. 

Part 2 looks at why core strength is essential for stability and injury prevention. Adrian talks you through how to gradually progress from pelvic floor exercises to planks and other abdominal workouts.

How to build core strength Pt. 1

Between 10 and 40% of people will experience sciatic pain in their lifetime.

It’s often confused with other types of low back pain but sciatica is usually felt in the lumbar spine, it’s commonly one-sided and can feel like a deep burning pain in the buttocks, radiating down the leg.

On this episode, Gab and Sarah talk about what sciatica is, some of the things that might cause it, and how exercise can help.

Is it low back pain or sciatica?

It seems like an oxymoron but regular exercise can actually reduce fatigue.

Wild, right?

Exerting energy when you're exhausted can help you feel better.

Around 20-30% of adults report having fatigue at any given time and it turns out going for a gentle walk can make a big difference to your energy levels.

On this episode, Gab and Sarah look at what fatigue is, what are some of the signs to look out for, and how exercise can help.

Did you know exercise can improve fatigue?

Have you ever heard of combat juggling?

Would you wear a pair of hiking pants with a zip along your butt crack to make toileting in the wilderness easier?

Would you ever exercise in the nude?

On this episode, join Gab and Sarah for some weird and wonderful fitness fodder.
