What do yoga and bodybuilding have in common? In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about how you can apply a neuroscience based filter to pretty much any fitness or movement practice to better understand and assess its effectiveness. I talk specifically about yoga and bodybuilding and how they interact with different systems in the brain and the nervous system and why and in what ways targeting those systems may be beneficial to your health and fitness. I go over the active/passive gap and discuss the differences between flexibility and mobility, why mindfulness, stretching, and breathing exercises can all target the same region of the brain, and why interoception as found in yoga and bodybuilding is linked to better executive function and decision-making.
