Michael Mosley says he tries to do press-ups and squats every day as part of his morning routine. Speaking on an episode of his BBC Radio 4 podcast Just One Thing, the health expert explained the importance of combining aerobic and resistance exercises to stay fit.
While other resistance exercises – such as weightlifting – require equipment, Mosley said the benefit of doing press-ups and squats is that no kit is needed. As reported by North Wales Live, this type of training uses an individual's body weight to provide resistance against gravity, helping to tone muscle, improve heart health and potentially boost brain function.
He said: "I do love walking and cycling, and I also make myself do the occasional run. But just one thing I would recommend you try fitting in to your daily life are press-ups and squats.
