Personal trainer Kyra Seiler has just completed her Masters at AUT in strength and conditioning, and runs a strength training gym coaching busy people through short, intense strength workouts. Seiler says the benefits of any exercise are well established, but strength training should be in every person's fitness routine. "A habit that changes the lives of people I've seen with a terminal diagnosis of cancer... is to every day, at the end of the day, notice three good things. "To counteract that, we have to notice the good things so that our brains can be rewired for optimism." ADVERTISEMENTThe science shows the good things don't have to be huge, Crichton emphasises, but this exercise can be a big contributor to resilience.
