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. Tune in to learn how to effectively communicate with your body and elevate your training regimen!Link to Dr. Marbas’ substack: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/exercising-vs-training-which-one?r=4t8jxgA Big Thank You To Our Sponsors: If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62If you are over the age of 50 and want to improve your body composition, build lean muscle (combat sarcopenia), build stronger bones (to combat osteoporosis), and you want to feel your best, I highly recommend exploring the life-changing coaching offered at https://www.fitvegancoaching.com/ Their personalized, whole-food, plant-based approach helped me lose 7% body fat, gain lean muscle, and even improve my running time—all while feeling energized and healthy.
