Bite Size: The Simple Science of Living Longer That Nobody Talks About | Dr Paul Batman

About this episode

Dr. Paul Batman discusses the importance of integrating movement into daily life for better health and longevity.

8 blokes showed up to help a mate with prostate cancer. They cleaned his house, mowed his lawn, scrubbed his kitchen. 3 hours of work. No gym. No program. No heart rate monitor. Dr Paul Batman ran the numbers afterwards and told them what they'd actually done. The equivalent of three five-hour marathons. Most of us have been thinking about movement the wrong way. We wait for the perfect workout, the blocked hour, the gym membership we'll actually use. Meanwhile the people living longest are the ones carrying their own groceries, climbing their own stairs, and mowing their own lawns. Dr Paul Batman is an exercise physiologist, university academic, and one of Australia's leading voices on active living. In this conversation, he breaks down what METs actually mean, why fitness snacks work, and how to build more movement into the life you already have, without overhauling any of it.
