2023.01.16 – 0746 – Exercise Advisories
Over the years in the many training sessions I have led, I have just known that the advice I have given to my clients in this area is going to be ignored: lip trills have been considered childish, to mindfully meditate was seen as ‘hippy’ hokum, stopping smoking as an unnecessary infringement. I am happy to say that in recent years those views have largely changed as people have become more aware of the value of looking after themselves vocally, physically and especially mentally.
Self-care is not selfish.
I am not a doctor. Neither is Google.
I don’t know your diet, your meds or your medical history.
I don’t know your sleeping, smoking or drinking habits.
I don’t know your physiological or psychological health,
Your exercise or work regime, or your climate.
What follows is, although professionally-researched, still generic advice.
Listen carefully to your voice.
With any negative change (loss in quality, range, stamina or control) lasting longer than two weeks
always seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.[1]
