Anatomy and Physiology - Bit by Bit

This episode covers the physiology of exercise. What happens to our body when we are exercising and what happens after? How do different kinds of exercise change our response? Who should do what? Why is it good for us? All these questions are answered. I also speak with personal trainer April Hattori of yes2next. Yes2Next is a very popular YouTube channel with hundreds of exercise instruction videos for people of all ages. April is also on Instagram, TikTok, has a blog, and a podcast. I highly recommend checking April out in all the ways!
