Exercising vs. Training: Which One Actually Changes You?

from The Habit Healers · host Laurie Marbas, MD, MBA

In this episode, we explore the difference between exercising and training, emphasizing the importance of sending clear signals to your body for optimal results. Using analogies of emails and city building, we discuss how specific types of training, like resistance training, reinforce and strengthen not just muscles but also bones, tendons, and blood sugar management. We highlight that you don’t need heavy weights to achieve growth—just pushing near your limits can be effective. Additionally, we touch on the benefits of cardio in enhancing heart function and vascular health.
