Welcome to another insightful episode of the Aurora Blueprint, the first Australian bariatric podcast tailor-made for women. Hosted by Dr. Ruth Blackham, this episode focuses on the underestimated power of movement. Titled "Move Like Her," it delves into how exercise can become a harmonious part of your life rather than a dreaded routine. Discover why movement matters before surgery, highlighting cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle mass preservation, and mental clarity. This discussion is not about losing weight fast; it's about nurturing a body that recovers and thrives. Dr. Blackham provides practical tips to make exercise a joyful experience, advocating for walking, resistance training, and even breath work to prepare for surgery. The episode also tackles societal pressures and personal anxieties tied to fitness, encouraging listeners to redefine exercise as an empowering and positive force in their lives. Tune in to learn how to transform exercise into a meaningful, identity-building practice rather than a means for weight maintenance alone. This episode provides listeners with tools to create a stronger post-operative self, ready to face future health journeys with confidence.
