Over the past month, The Proof has increasingly explored the role of exercise in relation to longterm health outcomes. In today’s episode, we build on previous conversations with an overarching goal: to consolidate our learning so far, giving you practical and tangible information to implement into your own lifestyle. Paul Taylor offers his advice on how to better your personal exercise routine through realistic recommendations, setting you up for a long health span.

Paul Taylor is an exercise physiologist, nutritionist, and neuroscientist. With an intriguing career spanning the British Royal Navy, professional boxing, leadership, and much more, Paul is relentless in his pursuit to understand the human mind, body, and brain. Paul is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group and The University of Newcastle.

In Episode 229, we build on previous learning to form a cohesive picture of how to improve health span through exercise. We cover the importance of intermittent stressors, the relative impact of nutrition and exercise, and the significance of biological evolution in health. Paul also breaks down exactly how to build an exercise regimen, with considerations for age and gender.

Specifically, we discuss:

21:22 Paul’s Boxing
25:56 Exercise vs Nutrition What Matters More?
34:58 Cardiovascular Fitness

54:10 Referencing Biological Evolution
59:56 A MultiModal Exercise Plan

1:24:46 Death by Comfort
1:27:38 Outro

This episode offers precise, useful information to help you improve your health. Remember these components for a multimodal training program to optimise health span:

• Resistance training at least twice a week
• Steady state exercise (Zone 2) at least 12 times a week
• High intensity interval training at least once a week
• Exercise snacks daily
• Mobility and stability – this is where free weight resistance training and single leg exercises can be very beneficial, along with other modalities such as yoga, pilates, etc.
• For a combined goal of ~2.5 hours of exercise per week, minimum.

I hope you find this conversation empowering and implement some of these tips into your own life. Stay tuned for another episode with Paul Taylor, where we will look at the behavioural changes that can elevate your health and lifestyle.
