- Program Description
Series Host: Dr. James "Red" Duke, Health correspondent: Dr. Holy Atkinson, Commentator: T. George Harris Building strength is not merely a matter of pumping iron, nor are big muscles necessarily an indication of superior strength. BODYWATCH will demonstrate who muscles work, grow and atrophy, and discuss the dos and don'ts of strength training.
