In this episode, we talked with Dr. Robert Ross, who is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Queen’s University (Canada). His research is focused on the development and testing of lifestyle-based interventions designed to manage obesity and related health risks. We speak with him about the use of exercise to reduce body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal fat and insulin resistance. We start by discussing the different types of fat in our body and why they pose different risk to our health. We then discuss the evidence that supports the use of exercise alone, or in combination with caloric restriction diet, as intervention to manage overweight and obesity. We talk about the parameters of exercise that can drive a positive change and discuss whether some types of exercise could be more effective than others. We also discuss why exercise, even if it does not lead to weight loss is still beneficial. Lots of useful information in this conversation. During our talk Dr. Ross mentions a website that allows you to estimate your cardiorespiratory fitness. Give it a try: https://www.worldfitnesslevel.org/#/
