Limitless – BionicOldGuy

The National Geographic channel is streaming an satisfying sequence “Limitless” starring Chris Hemsworth, about measures we are able to take for wholesome getting old. It is dramatized by Chris taking over challenges in varied geographic areas in every episode. There are additionally background tales of different individuals who exemplify the theme of every episode of their lives. The science behind all of that is well-presented however saved gentle and attention-grabbing. I’ve loved the primary three episodes to date. My solely criticism is that the second episode doesn’t adequately credit score the work of Wim Hof, who pioneered a number of the cold-water strategies described.

But it did introduce me to Ross Edgely who has written a number of books on the science of coaching. I’m at the moment having fun with his The World’s Fittest Book, about train science in addition to chronicling a few of his superb (additionally a bit loopy) athletic feats.
