When can you exercise after COVID-19?

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?
