Robb Pearlman: Body By Starfleet.
Let's face it: as Star Trek fans, our primary way of enjoying this
franchise is by sitting and watching the hundreds of hours of
television shows and films that make up our favorite science
fiction universe. But now, thanks to a book that recently hit store
shelves, we can use Star Trek to inspire us to get up off the couch
and get more active!
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther welcome author Robb Pearlman on the show to discuss his new book Body By Starfleet: A Fitness Guide. We talk about where the idea for the guide came from, the real exercises within its pages, the fantastic illustrations, some of our favorite exercises, how non-humanoids can get in on the action, an amusing tie-in video on startrek.com, and wrap up with where Robb can be found online and what he's working on next.
At the top of the show, Bruce and Dan review Star Trek: Year Five #8 from IDW and respond to feedback from The Babel Conference for Literary Treks 289: It Is Better to Heal Than to Harm.
