The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions, for more visit: https://www.evexias.com/ --- Hey everybody, Dr. Terri here! Today, we’re tackling a topic that can feel like a necessary evil… exercise. Yep, the "E word" that so many of us love to avoid, but know we need. Movement is a cornerstone of wellness, right up there with nutrition and sleep, but making it a consistent part of life can be a real struggle. On the 20th episode of the Dr. Terri show, we're in part three of our Basics Series. In this episode, I’m debunking some common exercise myths and sharing simple ways to get moving that don’t involve a pricey gym membership or grueling workouts. Did you know that just going for a walk after dinner can make a huge difference in how you feel? Or that our bodies actually respond better to strength training as we age, rather than endless cardio? We’ll talk about why our modern sedentary lifestyle is harming our health, how little changes like taking the stairs or parking further away can boost energy and mood, and why screen time isn’t just affecting our kids’ brains—it’s keeping us all from moving! Plus, I’ll dive into how hormones play a surprising role in exercise effectiveness, and why optimizing them can make it easier to stay active, even as we age. Whether you’re someone who dreads the idea of a workout or just wants some fresh tips to stay active, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you get moving, feel great, and make exercise part of your daily life.
