Summary

This week, Alice speaks to the inspiring Lavina Mehta. Lavina is a personal trainer, charity advocate, and author. In this episode, she shares her late start into fitness and how strength training transformed her mental and physical health. She discusses the concept of 'exercise snacking,' a flexible approach to incorporating short, intense bursts of physical activity into daily routines, and its benefits for managing chronic diseases, enhancing mood, and supporting overall health. Lavina also addresses the lack of representation and cultural barriers in fitness for the South Asian community and offers practical tips to make exercise more accessible.
