Holistic Health and Fitness in the Military

Dr. Dan Bornstein is an associate professor in the department of health, exercise, and sport science at the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina, and leads one of the only graduate degrees in the nation designed to meet the growing demand for exercise science specifically designed to work with military personnel and first responders – those considered tactical athletes by occupation. In this conversation, Dan speaks to the mind-body benefits of yoga and shares how the integrated fitness progress programs used by top sports athletes have influenced the training for special operators and are now becoming a basis for holistic health and fitness for all members of the military.
