RNIB Conversations

With recent new research on what constitutes healthy exercise for this week’s regular check in with Glasgow based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick we are talking all about exercise.
Elizabeth began by giving an overview of the new research to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey.
Then to explaining what Zone 2 exercise is all about, whether walking is still a good form of exercise to do and finally some thoughts on the benefits of resistance training too.
There is more about the benefits of exercise on the following pages of the NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/exercise-health-benefits/
