Rapid Fire with Tommy: Exercise Edition

Staying fit through an injury, trading sleep for workouts, and how little exercise it takes to keep your fitness


Rapid fire episodes are where we catch up on the listener questions that don't need a full episode. Today's is all about exercise and physical activity, and Tommy is in the hot seat.

Most of today's questions come from people whose training has been knocked off course by an injury, or by a one-year-old and a busy job. Tommy also shares the VR games he uses for a workout.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Staying in shape while you recover from an injury

  • Why training the uninjured limb helps the injured one

  • Keeping your heart rate up when you're hurt

  • Short on sleep: work out or sleep in?

  • How little exercise it takes to stay fit

  • The VR boxing and rhythm games Tommy uses
