Ep6 What's the Big Deal About Exercise?

(Please note, this episode was recorded under the name PWS Connect, and we have since changed the name to PWS United.)

Exercise is not a dirty word! Kat Lucero, PWSA | USA Board Member and certified Integrative Health and Wellness Coach and Stacy Ward, PWSA | USA's CEO, discuss the healthy and unhealthy ways we use exercise. Kat shares the many benefits exercise has on our physical and mental health, the variety of ways caregivers can fit exercise and movement into their busy lives, how children benefit from their parent's understanding of health and wellness, group exercise, and more. Does exercise look different as we age? Listen to find out. 

Here is a clarification from Kat on the heart rate formula mentioned in the interview: "The formula to figure out your maximum heart rate for exercise is 220-your age.  However, typically if someone is wanting more cardiovascular fitness: 220- age = max HR x 60% & 75% that's when individuals can see cardiovascular benefits from their workouts."
