Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Flint: How much rest do you need after a workout?
Q: For training for fat loss, is high-incline walking or running at a lower incline more effective?
Flint says incline walking may burn a higher proportion of energy from fat during the exercise, while running may burn more total calories. Which is more effective depends on total calorie intake and expenditure.
Alex Flint: How much rest do you need after a workout?
Q: How often should you do some strength training?
Flint recommends strength training at least twice a week. For a session, he suggests 20 to 30 minutes of actual lifting time, using full-body movements where possible.
Martin Hawes: How much money do you need to retire?
Q: How much do you think the amount that people need to retire has shifted?
Hawes says people increasingly draw down their capital as well as investment returns. He notes that retirement may last decades, spending can rise in the early active years, decline later, and rise again if care is needed.
Martin Hawes: How much money do you need to retire?
Q: What are your thoughts around passing on wealth or helping and doing it before you're gone?
Hawes supports passing on surplus wealth as early as possible, provided the giver will not run out of money, because younger recipients have more time to benefit from compound growth.
Janet Xuccoa: Who needs a will?
Q: Can a beneficiary receive a set amount regularly through a will, or would this need to be set up in a trust?
Xuccoa says a trust would be a practical way to provide regular payments over the beneficiary's lifetime, with trustees managing distributions and investments.
