The speaker thanks their listeners for the support and feedback from the first episode. They encourage listeners to give them a five-star rating on Spotify. The episode discusses the importance of exercise for long-term health, including reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. Exercise also strengthens bones and muscles, improves mental health, promotes better sleep, increases strength and flexibility, helps with weight management, and enhances quality of life. The speaker mentions that the NHS recommends 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, along with two strength sessions per week. They emphasize the importance of finding a routine that works for each individual, including daily walking, strength training, and cardio exercises. They also mention that yoga, pilates, and mobility work can be included in strengthening exercises. The speaker concludes by suggesting that each person should create their own weekly exercise ro Hello and welcome to episode number two of the Dave Howell Fitness Podcast I just want to start this episode off by saying a huge Thank you to all the support and feedback that you guys gave me after the episode one It's really good and actually like I was pretty pretty buzzing with how how many people said they took a lot from it So yeah, that was pretty cool, and it's just me talking into a microphone as I say no edits No fancy anything really just me taking away, so so yeah really impressed with that and I'll say Been getting some apps which stick after the first embarrassing stories. You know our messages how things yeah It's been a good source of entertainment for the last week so fair play to you guys Getting stuck in giving me the banter, and I'm all here for it So there's plenty more stories where that came from so I hope you enjoyed that side of things So yeah, I'm just gonna say now like if you want to go on give me a five-star rating on Spotify Wherever you listen to your podcast. I mean that's what all the other podcasters do right, so yeah I'll be much appreciated if you could do that for me And then and then we'll get stuck in to episode 2 which is all about fitness training and exercises for beginners And they're more about just how to create a sustainable exercise that routine you can stick to for life I thought it'd be good before like when we dive into things to just highlight the importance of exercise because Often doesn't get talked about these days everybody knows that oh, yeah, you should exercise But in order to really kind of give you that extra bit of motivation. I think it's important. Just how You know you realize just how important exercise is to a long-term healthy life and literally all the health markets It's one of the most studied things in the world the benefits of exercise and how it can benefit you Not just right now, but also later in life as well, so It does actually reduce your risk of heart disease stroke and certain type of cancers Which is obviously incredible and so important for your longevity of life Strengthens your bones and muscles, so this is kind of any kind of exercise, but I guess like cardiovascular obviously for your heart lungs etc and then strength Resistance training for your bone muscle health everything like that So this is particularly important as you age because there's conditions such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis They're like so basically if you don't use your muscles They start to atrophy which means that they actually will reduce as you get older and that makes things like wiping your own ass Getting dressed getting out of the shower Ever so more difficult as you age so you know if you want to be have a good quality of life for yourself Also for like your family your grandkids They'll be able to do the things that you love to do as you age is so so important that you do some kind of Muscle strengthening exercises because it's not just about muscles as well. It's also bones So I'm osteoporosis. I literally means like you'll have holes in your bones So you know how it's the old adage of like ah if you know ladies fall down she broke her hips well actually there is a lot of truth to that because They they do have a lot of if you don't train your Holes in your bones and your bone health will be reduced and that obviously it means that You will increase the risk of actually breaking bones as you get older which obviously then means it's harder to recover as well So it's super important for everything that I've just discussed them And then so that was one and two kind of reduce your risk of heart disease strokes and cancers Strengthening your bones and muscles three is increasing and improving your mental health and mood so we know in the short term Acutely the exercise obviously boost mood, and we all know like things like the runners how we've all heard of that But now they're actually prescribing Exercise for mental health conditions, and I'm just speaking Anecdotally I know my mental health is always in a good position when I'm in a consistent exercise routine And I know that for a lot of my friends and family the ones that have Struggled with their mental health a lot in the past tend to be the ones that do not have kind of like a Consistent exercise routine or something that they struggle with am I saying that exercise will solve a mental health crisis Absolutely not, but am I saying Will it help absolutely I think it will so number four is it promotes better sleep And we all know the benefits of sleep nowadays, and I'll cover that in more in depth in a later episode Number five so it increases your strength obviously flexibility and balance, and it's great for fat and weight management Obviously, it's a really good tool For managing your weight and helping with that Helps cognitive function as you age and not only your bone and muscle strength But also your cognitive function as your ways are keeping you ticking over and obviously healthy in that kind of way And finally it enhances your quality of life so for me When I know like when I was overweight as a teenager when my friends used to you know ask me to go to the beach And stuff like that I was absolutely dreading the thought of being able to go to the beach take my top off in front of my friends Got called a fat kid anyway, so I know that's just setting them up For more of that and that honestly would make me really anxious before anything like that so just you know going through that I think it's so important, and if your friends. You know ask you to go on a hike or something like that I Really struggled in the past where I'm just didn't think I would be fit enough to do so I think having a good baseline of fitness is really important for enhancing the quality of life and and Doing that way so those are the benefits of exercise So hopefully that gives you a bit of extra context about about why we should be moving our bodies Not only for the physical side of things also the mental side of things as well The next thing I'm going to cover is a type of exercise And I'm putting these into two very broad categories which then can be split down But I'm just going to keep it very high level for this exercise for this episode and we're going to break More of the science on some of the later episodes as we go so the first time is kind of cardiovascular training or aerobic training And this can be you know walking cycling and swimming any kind of sport again. That's a Really good for increasing Your heart and lung health Nothing like that, and then the other type is strength Strengthening exercise so this could be strength or resistance training and whether that's at the home or gym Whatever you feel comfortable with and you can find a great deal of benefit in Whichever way you'd like to train as long as you are consistent with it And it's something that you enjoy can keep up long term so strength training people do tend to think of the gym But that's absolutely not the case I think Covid really taught us that with some pretty basic equipment and a small amount of investment you can still get some really good workouts in at home Which I personally found as well, so I've kind of grouped yoga pilates and Mobility work and stretching into these strengthening exercises because it's proving your balance. It's proving your core strength So a very top-line level I've kind of categorized those in together Now when it comes to kind of guidelines how much exercise you should be doing in the week so the NHS guidelines So that's the National Health Service. That's in the UK for anybody listening outside So that would be they recommend 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity So that's what I was just there about the cycling swimming running anything like that So 150 minutes of that moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous So that might be high intensity interval training or something or sprints or something I saw anything a bit higher intensity than the likes of swimming or cycling and then two strength sessions a week So I think it's really good actually that they do include two strength sessions within the weekly recommended guidelines But again, that's an average that you take So yeah, just do it just to kind of repeat that 150 minutes of aerobic activity or two strength sessions a week So that's kind of the bare minimum or the guidelines for the average person But I think as an individual you should really be aiming to kind of do some kind of daily walking And I know that sometimes doesn't always work out in the way It wants to but I think for in terms of your physical and mental health It's really important to try and get out into nature and get a daily walking and then again Incorporating some kind of strength training and that doesn't have to be you know Training sessions in the gym going for an hour. It can be 20 minute workout from home can be just bodyweight exercises You know, particularly if you're starting out as a beginner You can get a lot of benefit from just doing some at-home exercises Which some of my more elderly clients are doing and they're feeling massive benefits from and increasing their strength that way. So And then finally some kind of element of cardio whether that's sports or Some kind of running thing that's really good to try and incorporate into your weekly routine Which I'm going to come on to next for me you now know the benefits you now know the kind of the recommendations and the ways you can train in terms of Cardiovascular aerobic training or strengthening which I've grouped resistance training and mobility work together into that so now the next stage for me is Kind of coming up with your weekly exercise routine and how that could potentially look for you and this could never be a blanket statement because everybody is so Different and individualized in the way that they like to exercise or train and there's not a one-size-fits-all for this So step one for me in time in terms of setting up your weekly routine is first to define your goals And I really want to emphasize The your part of this because Don't feel like you have to set goals as per like society standards or what someone else is telling you to do what is your goal if that's in terms of weight loss or You know if you want to train if you want to get stronger if you want to look a certain way and you know a lot of people they do give shade on like having aesthetic based goals, but again if that is What you want to achieve and if that's what's going to keep you exercising consistently, then you absolutely go for it And this is the main thing like it's your goals It's personal to you whether you share them with other people or not I think it's really important first to define what you want to get out of your exercise I you know for a lot of people if it's not static space some people just want to feel a bit Fitter healthier move a bit better move without pain as well, which again is really really important And then from that so once you've defined your goals, so what is the long-term goal? And you know if there's anything what what you want to achieve so you know some people might be to run a marathon for some people it might be to run a 5k without stopping so I think it's really important to define kind of What your goals are in the short term and then? Have a look at longer term as well And what you can do to get that and then from there have a think about your weekly process And what you can do week by week Tip away and work to all that long time goal because the long-term goal is going to give you some focus But it's your weekly processes that are going to get you there So for example, I'm currently training for a marathon at the end of October so for me I know that my long-term goal is to run run the marathon and for me It's my first ever one, so I just want to complete it, so then I work backwards from that and I think okay So what do I need to be doing on a weekly basis in order to make sure that I'm training? Capably to do this marathon so for me It's really important that I keep up my sports and I keep doing that because that's something that I enjoy I really enjoy the social side as well as Just the enjoyment side of playing the sports and then also. I'm really trying to build up my running capacity in my leg So I'm planning to do So I did a half marathon on Saturday, and that was really good Did that with my brother, and then I'm going to build up to 30 kilometers And I think that will be my the longest run I do within my training for that so for me I know what my long-term goal is right now, and then I'm working out my weekly process in order to get there I couldn't kind of just while we're here again, so your weekly process. That's what's going to get you the long-term results But I covered this very briefly on my last episode. I really want to hammer this point home, so With exercise that is a tool that can be used for fat loss, but the main way that you lose Lose weight lose body fat is through managing your food intake so what I really want to kind of get to everybody and If everybody increased their understanding of this I think everybody would be in a really good way to stay a bit more consistent with our exercise So in order to lose fat manage your food intake That's the number one priority and then exercise should actually be used for health and enjoyment And that's what is going to help you keep it up for long term so step one to find your goals What is your long-term goal? And then what are the weekly processes that you can use in order to get there? And then step to find out what you enjoy Oh for some of you It's going to be what you hate the least and then how you can fit this into your weekly schedule So the key to getting better and long-term success is consistency so if you are prescribed a You know a running plan And you need to run three times a week at max pace like if you don't like that The chances of you sticking to that long term are very very slim So what is it that you enjoy and it doesn't have to be resistance training at the gym? It could be training at home. It could be swimming. It could be cycling Literally absolutely Anything that you enjoy on how can you fit that into your routine? And that is going to be so important if you enjoying it and also for the long-term success And then step three is how can you keep yourself accountable to keep doing this exercise? So one really? Crucial ways getting others involved. So is there anybody friends family that you can you know get involved and Get them coming along with you or training with you like can you get a training partner for the gym or something like that? Or maybe it could be joining a team. So if you join a sports team, you know It's not only if you don't do the exercise, you're not only kind of letting yourself down everyone else that you've committed to He's just a little better. There's a the first hookup maybe of this episode as you know, we're all dogging it So we're gonna the show goes on anywho. So yeah joining the team and then like who can you make yourself accountable to? To really keep that and it's not just like holding self accountable. It's like for a lot of people They really enjoy the social aspect of exercise and I'm the exact same So, you know if you are looking forward to seeing these people that you build a connection with through sport I think that's really crucial in order to keep yourself motivated accountable and consistent with it And then if it's not any of those it could be you could prefer a size on your own, you know It's could you potentially hire a coach or something like that that will? They'll keep you and you know, obviously I'm available, but it doesn't have to be me I would you know recommend to anybody particularly if you're starting out and you're a true beginner Within the gym hiring a coach is one of the best things that you can do in terms of increasing your competence and skill level Within that because you know humans we hate Doing stuff that we're not good at but whenever you start anything and this is not just about the gym this is literally anything you are going to suck it basically and You know as I said people don't like to do what they're not good at but in order to get good at it You need to build that experience and that competence. So hiring a professional Can be a really beneficial way to do this and I'm going to give you an example now of the way I use this so surfing So when I was in Australia, it's something something that I all really wanted to do day one I was like, oh, how hard can it be? I watching all these surfer dudes on on the beach on the Gold Coast I was like, how hard can it be like doesn't look I had I was trying for a good two Three hours with my mate Kyle and I was not even a smidgen near catching the wave I was wiping out the board was hitting my face. I was looking like a strong seal Honestly, it was it was a very humbling experience So literally later that afternoon I got on I've booked a lesson for the next day Bearing in mind like three hours of try and try and try and couldn't get anywhere near standing up But by the end of a two-hour lesson literally the following morning I was able to stand up on the board and then from there I build up the foundation the knowledge to know basically how to catch a wave so there's very fundamentals And then I could use that and go away and practice that skill and get better and better and with each time of each Experience I was able to increase my confidence But honestly if I had never hired a coach or paid for a lesson, I would have still been absolutely Bombing out on those waves getting thrown left right and center and would never increase my surfing ability so that's just one example there for you to maybe take some inspiration from and Here's a bit of a kind of shameless bug So if you are looking for some people to get involved within sport a business I run side along my coaches fell finish community where we run sports and social events Basically for anybody of all ages all abilities And that's just something that I knew because I know know that people when they first moved to a city It's really hard to make friends as an adult You know outside of your work and stuff But if you like a sport that you played if you played netball or rounders or something in school It's really hard to like kind of find a group of people To do that with so I've set up as a business that I run I don't actually make any money of it. I do it because I love it so much Like tomorrow night. We're doing volleyball and then Wednesday We've got netball with my Queens and I love always getting humbled by them. But yeah, anyway back to it So step one to find your goals What's your long-term goal and what the weekly process is that you can use to get there? Some of them to find out what you enjoy and find out how you can fit that in and then three How can you keep yourself accountable whether it's getting others involved joining the team? You know following a program or hiring a coach whatever it happens to be find the one that works for you And then you can go from there so the next thing I want to discuss is kind of the difference between training and exercising and I think Exercising used to get by Rob or particularly like I know that I felt a certain way about exercising But my mindset has really changed on that over the kind of last year or so. So exercising for me is kind of The gym is a good example to use for this kind of you go in you do like 20 minutes on some random cardio machine You go from machine to machine. Whatever is free and you kind of you do in just kind of moving your body just for the sake of it and In the past I used to follow why people doing this like it seems like a bit of a waste of time But I've really kind of changed my mindset on this through like running my boot camps. So For a lot of people that they just like to come they like the social side of it I like to move their bodies for an hour and even though Yeah, they're not for it. Like they're not tracking anything through that way. They're just coming there enjoying it and in the past I was like, hmm, maybe you can take things to the next level But if that's the way that is going to keep you consistent and if that's something that you enjoy in then absolutely go ahead but what I would the caveat to that is Don't complain about not getting the results from exercising where you see others a training and training Well, and they're following some Processes to get them there because if you're just exercising and you want to look a certain way For example, like if you're a guy that wants to grow his chest or if you're a lady that wants to grow their glutes if you're if you're just going and exercising and you're not tracking and You're you'd not training in a certain way and then you complain about getting the results for me You can't like that's incongruent like the two different sides of the coin So you can't be Just going in and doing exercise and expect the results of some that's training which then takes me on to training and for me This is kind of like the next level of exercising So training when you have this in places you are training for something So and again, it could be performance-based, you know, you could be training for a marathon You could be a training to achieve a 200 kg deadlift. Whatever that is then you are training for something and then you have a specific plan together and For a lot of people if they never try the weights for again I'm going to use the gym as an example because it's a good one to use just by Monitoring your progress. I'm actually having a training plan. That is more optimal for you you will be absolutely standing about the Levels that you can go through and the results that you will get From kind of following a bit more of a structured training program and it has the old adage goes like what gets measured gets improved So if you are genuinely training something if you want to look some certain way if you want to hit a certain performance level you need to have a training structure in progress and Really be working towards things. So that's the difference between training and exercising Either is absolutely fine. It just depends who you are what your goals are and where you want to get to. Okay? And in terms of actual resistance training, I'll be coming sets reps rest periods Intensity everything like that on a later episode So stay tuned for that and I'll teach you everything you need to know about how to optically great gain muscle But that is for another episode. Okay. So the next section I'm gonna move on to is a warm-up called on again So different people are gonna do this in different ways But it is really good for warm-ups Obviously before exercise to get some kind of a warm-up in but feel like the gym and things like that It doesn't need to be as intense as some routines on social media with how do you believe and again? It's an individualistic approach because I know for example when I come in and do my upper body days Like to me my warm-up just looks like something to get my body moving I'm not actually for me might be biking to the gym instead of driving on that particular day because then I'm kind of killing two Birds with one stone I'm traveling there and I'm also getting a bit of a warm thing getting that blood pumping So the first kind of section of that warm-up is going to be some kind of just something to get your heart rate I'll put a lower intensity and then you can build the intensity as you go and then for your warm-up It's actually so you don't want to do static stretches So, you know, for example, if you come in and you're pulling your leg up to your bum for a quad stretch You would want to be doing something more dynamic So what I tend to do is I tend to do Whatever movement I'm doing first I'll do a really really light weight on that movement and then go through and do like 20 reps of that really light Scraping through the motions and then whilst I rest and build it up I'll do some kind of dynamic stretch for that area. So I might do like some lunges before I squat and I like to Track my hands down a bar and really come into a deep squat and to me like I've got really stiff hips because I'm a big lanky bastard So I need to take like for my warm-up for leg day will be between 5 and 10 minutes But on and off a body day, I'm fairly confident with that. My mobility is fairly decent So I will be I'll be less inclined to do a longer warm-up for that So again, don't need to hammer at home And if you've only got an hour in the gym, don't feel like you need to absolutely hammer the warm-up Just do some movements for the body parts that you're going to be doing get some nice static Dynamic sorry stretches in there and then go from there and then obviously after you want to do a bit of a cool-down This is when you can start to build in the static stretches If you want to do things like foam rolling and stuff to release some of the tension again That's a tool that you can use is it essential probably not But if you really want to be recovering from your sessions that can really help So speaking of resting recovery again, this is going to be essential for keeping your long-term exercise consistently and sometimes again It's just better to listen to your body. Like if you're feeling particularly fatigued if you've got Chronic muscle soreness that's really hampering you then that is your body giving you a sign to take a rest But alongside that is in really important to incorporate rest days with into your program and again, this relates to more of the training side of things and that's why You know, so when you are doing resistance training your muscles actually grow outside the gym So in the gym you cause things on micro tests and obviously your muscle needs time to rest in order to recover those muscles So that's why you hear about like different training splits So you might have heard like the bro split where it's like legs on one day chest back shoulders Well, yeah, not the most optimal but we'll cover that in the later episode So basically you are you are still able to put some amount of work in But you are giving different muscle groups different chances to recover and that's going to be Optimal for making sure that they come back. They're building better and stronger and rest is so important It's maybe one of the most overlooked Factors within that and it's important not only to incorporate rest days into your training program and across the week But to also listen to your body as I've discussed and alongside of that as well sleep I know I've said it Said in the last episode said in this episode sleep is going to be absolutely essential for making sure that you are getting enough rest And recovery in so that is going to be really key for that okay, and The final kind of point I want to discover in terms of building this in is how can you make exercise I build it into your lifestyle because And again, it's it's more about how you identify yourself so instead of being like I'm a person who do who does exercise becoming more like I'm a person who like exercises regularly who enjoys it and it's instead of like Aiming to seek and be like, oh, I've got to exercise today You know you're dreading it. So how can you fit into your routine to make it like oh I get to exercise I'm a privilege. I get to move my body because there's so many people out there that would kill for that opportunity You know to get what you do to move your body to do it in a healthy way And to really build up your confidence in whatever you're doing and build it up and make it into a lifestyle. So as I said Previously like so once you once you know your long-term goals and your weekly process Then it's a fact of fire out what you enjoy and how to fit it in And again, it's how can you make it into a lifestyle so you can really keep it going and become an exercise person rather Than being someone who exercises And make it part of your identity So is there a way that you can like build it into your weekly routine? But into your work days or anything like that and again, who can you get involved to help you keep this up? and then finally The last thing so if you are finding that you are You know your training is coming a bit there because this can happen from time to time and it does happen to everybody One technique that I've used in the past and I'm currently using now is basically what can you do? What event can you put what challenge? Can you give yourself to really push yourself out of your comfort zone and take things to the next level? So for example in 2019, I was finding my training was really stale I was kind of lacking motivation in the gym. I wasn't really Motivated to do everyone and you know, this is coming from someone who has always Exercises I always love sport So it's just to show you that this can happen to absolutely anybody even someone who like really likes training and exercising and all the rest Of it. So it does happen from time to time and in 2019. I found myself. I was like, I'm just going through the motions I'm not really making progress in the gym I don't really have that fire in my belly to really push myself and I keep going with it so what I did is I bought myself a charity boxing fight for ultra white color boxing and Honestly, the promise and my mate who I'm actually grateful that he said this to me. We were on the in the car one day Jiro's child We're in the car and he was like Dave you do realize that you know, your fight is going to be recorded There's like there's 45 people that were gonna be there for watching for me I was like, we're gonna be recording this and if you get knocked out you will never live this down We will have footage of it. It will be brought up at your wedding. It's probably my funeral as well knowing them So I was like, I'm when he put that put it to me like that. I was like fuck Yeah, if I get knocked out all my mates are gonna have footage of me They're never gonna let me live it down So you bet your goddamn ass that I'm gonna start fucking training for this thing I'm for me that was really beneficial in time of giving myself Resetting that focus giving myself something new to him for push push myself out of my comfort zone And then do my training like a bit of focus. So my question to you is What is that? What is it that you can do that? You can book that you can literally log on today book something whether it's a 10k in your local area Whether it's some kind of you know charity event It doesn't have to be boxing or anything like that or you know, sign up for a sports team I what can you do that is booking yourself. So you're paying your money for it So this is going to teach the value in that can just give you that little bit of extra thing that even if it's in the future like if you've got that in the back of mind it will help give you a bit of Focus and help you really push towards that goal because I know it's done for me in that past I've bought some marathon this year so I could Develop my confidence with this give my training a bit of focus try something a bit different to my usual resistance training And I found that really beneficial again So have a think if there's anything if any of you do end up selling anything I had love for you to like put it on your story. Give me a tag saying thanks Dave I've just signed up to this with you Hopefully we do see a few of them If not, that's again just sharing one technique that I've used in the past to to really help me Give some focus and evaluation. Okay, so that's everything that I wanted to cover in this episode And it was more about just like really relaying that benefits of exercise because I think it's something that's really overlooked these days And then also like how can you? build a Sustainable exercise routine to keep it up for life and really become a personal exercise So you can feel all the benefits. I've covered at the start of this podcast Yeah, so you've made it this far Therefore it is time for the next embarrassing story now This was the one like when I've spoken to my mates about it though. I was like oh what what story? You're going to tell this is the one that consistently came up, and this is the story of the Christmas tree, okay? Okay, I can't believe I'm doing this all right, so every year on Christmas Eve eve so the night before Christmas Eve On mail mail on my friends we go to a Bring your own booze curry house in York and we basically like book massive table out and then yeah, we go for drinks, and we go out in town after and Me and my me my brother and my best mate. We lived we rented a house together for about five years So we were like so it was between the age of 18 to 23 so you can imagine Guys that a sharing a house that was kind of the party house whenever there was an event and we didn't people didn't know Where to host it we just like yeah, you can have the party here Whatever and that means that also like after town we'd have absolutely rafters and rafters of people Come in and stay in our house just like yeah And then one thing we used to do when we knew we had a lot of people staying was we get the mattress from my Bed, and then we put it in the lounge so like basically like five to six people could like sleep within the same vicinity anyhoo So we've all been obviously drinking a lot throughout the curry And then yeah, maybe like got a bit too fucked up, and then basically so after the night There was a good I think there was like six of us that came back to the house, and then we had a few more drinks and the rest of it basically and Then yeah, so my friend Was sleeping on the mattress on the floor, and I was on the sofa Yeah, God knows how I got kicked off my own mattress anyway, so all of a sudden my friend starts to hear this Pitter patter, and I guess you can only really describe it as you know when you read ten And it's like there's some light rain outside. You can kind of hear it on the side of the tent Apparently that's what it sound like so he obviously wakes up because he is you're very confused I'm sure a lot of people will be and What does he say he sees me standing over him? Like basically we're all over him all over the quilt the mattress Whatever, so he's like Dave. What the hell are you doing understandably?
