The Truth about Exercise
Description
We have long been told that getting regular exercise is key to a healthy life. But with recent advances in genetic testing technology and brain stimulation techniques, scientists are learning new and surprising truths about what exercise really does for the body, and why we all respond to it differently. In this program, Michael Mosley explores research on the benefits of just three minutes of high intensity exercise per week. Using himself as a human guinea pig, Mosley also discovers the power of simple activities like walking and fidgeting, and finds out why some people don't respond to exercise at all.
