Rnt Fitness Radio

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by Shane O’Mara, a Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin.  In this podcast we discuss what Shane deems to be the three keys to high performance, why sleep is so critical, and the specific topic of today, the power of walking. Having recently written an excellent book called “In Praise of Walking”, I wanted to bring Shane on to discuss why walking is so important for you – both physically and mentally.
