Hi everyone:
my husband drew my attention to this science program that screened on British TV recently and it has some excellent points to make. The main presenter is a doctor, an MD, who has several important questions to ask of researchers throughout the UK into exercise physiology.
Basically, he wants to know if the old model of 40 min jogs through the park and the current government guidelines for exercise are still valid and how can your average Joe Bloggs lose weight and get healthier.
The first section involves HiiT and Tabata training, which most of us are already convinced about, although the evidence of this exercise protocol upon the body is still surprising.
The second section is the most important, in my opinion, because it states clearly and concisely that the biggest threat to all of us, even if we do HiiT and tabata training and/or regularly visit the gym, is the sedentary lifestyle. The experiments done in this section are so illuminating, it is well worth watching and showing to any sedentary person you have in your life. Wow.
This is a fabulous program, I can't recommend it enough. It will provide food for thought. I really enjoyed it, plus the presenter is a sweet, funny guy who has to accept bad news about his own health prospects.......(enjoy all the different accents too!)
