A rat study has found that moderate aerobic exercise leads to remodeling of stellate ganglia in the neck and upper chest--part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates heart activity. Ganglia on left and right sides of the body underwent different changes in number, size, and volume.

If time travel were real, I’d organize a Mastodon field trip to the The 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIfAkOBMf5A

Isn’t it great? It makes me want to learn some of those moves.

One of the greatest films ever covered on B-Movie Enema was 1984's Heavenly Bodies. It stars an incredibly cute woman, it has a rockin' soundtrack, and it's like a Rocky movie of a woman giving everything she has to make her dream come true. Hell yeah... Heavenly Bodies!

What kindness have you received this week?

I was dashing along to my aerobics class, late as usual, and the teacher stopped to give me a lift (she lives 2 minutes from the venue and had had to pop up to pick up something she’d forgotten).
