  • Aging

    We all age. It’s inevitable, and it’s normal.

    Truth is, exercise is not the key to losing weight. It’ll help, but when it comes to burning calories, it’s actually pretty inefficient. To burn 1,000 calories, you would have to run - not walk - for hours. And it’s important to eat the right protein to feel right.

    So what is exercise good for? Quite a lot.
