Protein, weights and the best way to keep fit: your exercise questions answered

In the second episode of our listener questions special, Ian Sample
tells Madeleine Finlay what he has uncovered about who the exercise
guidelines were created for and whether they apply to all of us,
which exercises are best for keeping us strong, whether we should
be eating particular foods when we exercise, and how much protein
we need to consume if we’re packing in the hours at the gym. With
contributions from Jason Gill, professor of cardiometabolic health
at the University of Glasgow; Benjamin Wall, professor of
nutritional physiology at the University of Exeter; Clyde Williams,
emeritus professor of sports science at Loughborough University;
Victoria Taylor, head of clinical support at the British Heart
Foundation and I-Min Lee, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical
School. Help support our independent journalism at
