The health and fitness industry is continuing to grow, as gyms and lifestyle education becomes more accessible.
So, we thought it was time to put the experts in the podcast hot seat and create a Body Movement Series to help you navigate through the noise surrounding exercise.
Over the next three weeks, sports chiropractor and accredited exercises physiologist Luke Khoury will sit down with Sam Makhoul to provide education on the dos and don’ts of exercise and what our body really needs and wants.
In the first episode of our three-part series, Luke discusses:
The true impact of high intensity exercise
Why walking is good for us
The reason we lose our balance once we turn 50
The true meaning of pain
And the different types of breathing to help our heart rate
