When was the last time you traveled alone? I’m currently in Bergen, which is a city on the west coast of Norway.  And I’m about to take a ride on the Bergen railway, known as one of the most exciting and beautiful train rides in the world. No other train ride between two cities in Europe is at a higher altitude than the one between Bergen and Oslo. Linking Norway’s two main cities, it has unbelievable views of the Hardangervidda, Europe’s highest mountainous plateau. Listen in as I travel and share this amazing trip through the beautiful region of Norway. Let me know what you think on twitter and instagram @jamesswanwick and www.jamesswanwick.com

Are you standing up right now? Believe it or not, but your chair might be slowly killing you… Joining us today is the author of the new book “Get Up,” by Dr. James Levine. According to Levine, who is the co-director of the Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University obesity initiative and inventor of the “treadmill desk,” for every hour we spend sitting in our chairs, we lose two hours of our lives. He also believes excessive sitting is more dangerous to your health than smoking. So how many hours are you currently sitting during the day? Enjoy this fascinating episode with Dr. Levine.
