175. How to Exercise to Live Longer » Fitness & Longevity Explained

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) ---------- Interested in coaching?
