Description

In this episode Brittany and Tom talk about the importance of exercise and activity for physical and mental health. They discuss what the current exercise recommendations are for kids and adults and how far off the mark we are in America, leading to physical and mental decline. 

They differentiate between the benefits of cardiovascular exercise, zone 2 versus HIIT training, as well as the dangers of neglecting strength training especially for women. There is a brief discussion of HRV- Heart Rate Variability and the impact of exercise on vagal tone. 

This is an overview of the topic rather than a deep dive into any of the specifics that we will cover in later episodes.
