In today’s episode, I'm joined by Jacob Falla, founding director of Oxidate Performance.  

Jacob is a performance coach who’s been in the health & fitness industry for 10 years. After spending most of his life as an elite level athlete, he now specialises in athlete development. Jacob has a Bachelor of Sports Coaching and Exercise Science, a Diploma of Sports Development and is a strength and conditioning level 1 coach and personal trainer. Jacob's passion is unlocking people's true potential and helping them to achieve their optimum level of performance.  

I’ve asked Jacob to come on my podcast today to chat all things exercise. This is part 1 of a 2 part series with Jacob and, in this episode, Jacob and I examine what types of exercise are best for different age groups, from teenagers right through to octogenarians.  

Also, to end the podcast, Jacob and I chat about his top tips to help you guys get back on track with exercise after a tough year with COVID/ remote working and lockdowns.  

I hope you enjoy this episode and you can follow Jacob on his Instagram which is @oxidate_performance, his website which is or listen to his own podcast which is called "The High Performers Platform".
