Exercise Is Health

Do you struggle to feel like you have ownership over your body?

Maybe tasks that were once easy now feel difficult.

Or perhaps your coordination or dexterity feel like they are leaving you.

Or maybe you feel like the body you are living in today hardly resembles the body you remember living in 10 years ago.

What can you do about this??

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is the question we are answering for you.

You may not feel as strong, coordinated, or athletic as you once did, but that does not mean this has to be your story forever.

There is one simple change you can make with your workouts to start changing this for the better, and that is exactly what we are laying out for you.

Check out all the details in this week's episode!

Do you have a group of muscles that you are struggling to grow or strengthen?

There is so much confusion and misinformation about what actually needs to happen in order to develop bigger and stronger muscles, and while much of the mainstream fitness industry wants you to chase the newest, flashiest, flavor-of-the-day strategy, we find that results consistently come easier when you follow a specific set of principles.

This week, we have the opportunity to sit down with one of our esteemed colleagues to discuss a set of principles that will help you cut through much of the marketing hype and just focus on exactly what you need to do to grow and strengthen your muscles, regardless of your age or fitness level.

Nick Horvath shares his A.I.M. Principle for muscle growth with us, diving into the details of what this principle is and how it will help to take out all of the guesswork with what exercises you should be doing to build bigger and stronger muscles.

If you have ever felt confused by what the mainstream fitness industry promotes as far as effective exercises to get stronger and build muscle, listen up! You are going to want to hear everything Nick has to say.

Check out all of the details in this week's episode!

What aspects of your fitness do you take into consideration throughout your day?

Perhaps you notice how out of breath or not you get.

Or maybe you are aware of how easily you can move your body.

Or your strength might be the thing that is most apparent to you as you do your daily activities.

But, there is one aspect of your fitness that you are likely not considering, and by overlooking this, you may be sacrificing everything else that you are aware of.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, Julie and Charlie are diving into what this aspect of your fitness is.

They discuss why you need to be paying attention to it and lay out exactly what steps you need to take to make sure you are building this aspect of your fitness without sacrificing your health or your ability to enjoy all of the other activities you like doing.

How long do you need to workout for it to qualify as a "good workout"?

45 minutes? 60 minutes? Longer?

What about 20 minutes?...

Oftentimes, when people think about exercising for 20 minutes, they either disregard it as an option because "it's not long enough to get a good workout"...

Or they try to make up for the shorter duration by cranking the intensity WAY up.

But - does it have to be this way?

Do you either have to workout for longer periods of time or in ways that are really intense and risk injury?

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, this is the topic we are exploring.

We lay out the biggest issues with most 20-minute workouts and what you can do differently to make sure you can get stronger, more fit, and healthier without increasing your risk for injury.

If you are trying to get an amazing workout in but feel like you don't have enough time to, this discussion is for you!

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, Julie & Charlie are diving into these questions and more with Dr. Elie Jarrouge of MetabolicHealthMD.com.

Does it feel like your body is too old to get stronger, more fit, or more mobile?

A lot of times, as people get older, they start to develop the belief that because they are "past their prime", they have lost their window of opportunity to build the strength and health they want.

But, this could not be further from the truth!

In fact, you can see improvements in your strength at ANY age; BUT, there are some things that you ARE too old for if you are in your 30s or beyond.

Unfortunately, many of the things that you are too old for are the things that are holding you back from getting the results you want with your workouts.

The good news is with just some simple tweaks, you can avoid these things and streamline building the strength, fitness, mobility, and health you want.

What are these things and how do you avoid them? That is exactly what Julie & Charlie are discussing on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast.
