This video explores the differences between the Western ideas of strength and the Eastern ideas of energy flow. Weight training can improve your strength for physically demanding jobs or for competition purposes. Progressive resistance training began in ancient Greece, and weightlifting was added to Olympic sports in 1896. We learn tips for strength training, two basic exercises, and the importance of rest periods. The Healthy Eating section stresses the importance of fuelling your body properly and shows how to prepare lamb chops. The video concludes with a description of acupuncture as an alternative treatment, a 2500-year-old component of Chinese medicine. The Busy Bodies Series shows you how to become and stay both fit and healthy.
