Sat, 21 February 2009 Exercise Dose and Quality of Life This week on Fitness Rocks I will discuss a recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine looking at the relationship between the amount of exercise a person does and their quality of life. The results will make you feel good. Also, this week at Fitness Rocks I introduce the new idea of the Fitness Rocks Test Center - you can take an online multiple choice quiz on the material presented in the podcast. Use it to test your listening skills and to generate some enthusiasm for fitness in your workplace by creating a little competition among your colleagues. To take the test just click on the "Fitness Rocks Test Center" page tab. References: Exercise Dose and Quality of Life |
