Physiotherapist shares one sure-fire method to get you moving
I've been saying for weeks (actually months) now that I need to exercise more. I still haven't started.
Even if you've got the gear and the shoes, it can be difficult to find the motivation to exercise, says physiotherapist Anna-Louise Bouvier But she does have one sure-fire method to get you moving. Listen here or download the podcast.
YourLifeChoices is partnering with researchers from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre Musculoskeletal Research Hub on ‘The Buddy Study’ – a program that aims to not only get you moving, but also to enhance the physical and mental benefits of exercise. This study is aimed at helping older people with back pain by analysing whether exercising with a buddy is better than exercising alone.
If you’re interested in finding out more, please visit the Sydney University website – and tell them the YourLifeChoices team sent you. Or you can complete the pre-screening form.
Just found this, I hope this is suitable for your new Thread Leon.

So I started to take bread out of my diet, and do a bit more walking, I got down to 80.6kgs and left it at that. Since the Stroke I was 77.4kgs in hospital and told not to get anymore weight off. Today I am weighing in at 76.4kgs. Not sure why I am loosing anymore weight, but I find I have lost my appetight now I am worried I may get more weight off!
