Main Show:

Sarah’s W.I.N:

What walking speed says about your personality.  Sarah talks about the difference between people who walk fast and slow.  Sarah is a fast walker.  Gary is slow.  What does that mean?

Peter’s W.I.N:

Peter has an inspiratory breath training device that he demonstrates.  A recent study shows that this device can lower blood pressure.  We discuss if it’s this device or if it’s just breathing in general that lowers blood pressure.  We also discuss nitric oxide again!

Gary’s W.I.N:

Gary reviews a study that looked at the correlation between when you start exercising and health care costs in retirement.  As you would suspect, the earlier you start the better.  Those who start between 19-29 years old, save about $1900/year in retirement.  Even if you start later, you can save up to $900 per year.  So just START!

Fan Feedback:

Voice Memo #1:

We have a voice memo from Peter’s cousin Lanna.  She has a question about the need for lifting heavy as a runner and when should you be happy with where you are?
