Today's show is a great one and very timely.

Our guest is Dr. Joseph D. Bauer from Salzburg University and a world-renowned fitness, skiing, and health care expert.

Well, winter is upon us. The Winter Olympics are just about to start. I love the Winter

Olympics for all the sports but alpine skiing is my favorite. I've been a

lifelong skier, I skier, I skier, I skier, I skier in college, and I know that Alpine skiing is one of the most popular leisure time winter sporting activities.

Plus, skiing imposes high requirements concerning physical fitness, particularly regarding

balance abilities, aerobic capacity, strength, and power.

Let's see if you ski all winter, then your heart rate will slow down, your blood pressure will come down,

your weight will come down because you burn calories.

That of course is our guest today, Dr Joseph Neibauer, talking to us via Skype from his Salzburg University offices in Austria,

perhaps the ski capital of the world.

Well, Dr. Joseph Neibauer, thanks so much for joining us today.

It's my pleasure, thank you.

And where are you to, may I ask?

I'm in Salzburg, Austria.

Good.

And you're a professor of sports medicine there at Salzburg University.
