This Week's Topic: How Do Astronauts Exercise?

Crew members on the International Space Station use three cardiovascular and muscular exercise machines to workout 🏃. Exercising looks quite different in space! For instance, all exercise machines have been adjusted in order to simulate a gravitational pull being exerted on the space travelers' bodies 🏋🏻‍♀️.
