Most people are exercising WRONG when it comes to exercising and living longer. And in this episode, I break down exactly what the research and data actually say about health and longevity.
I cover 5 common myths about exercise and what actually works instead:
Myth #1: Hard gym workouts are the biggest factor for longevity (what actually matters: daily movement & NEAT)
Myth #2: Cardio is the healthiest form of exercise (why strength training is a leading predictor of longevity)
Myth #3: Calories burned = a better workout (why this is a losing battle)
Myth #4: Finding the "perfect program" is what matters (the power of consistency + variety)
Myth #5: Supplements & longevity hacks are the answer (why habits & behaviors trump everything)
