Truth: We've all made exercise mistakes. Us included. The latest research studies about exercise are showing that what we learned in the '80s and '90s about exercise is wrong. The problem is that most of us still believe what they told us decades ago... and the result is we aren't getting slimmer and healthier. We've gotten fatter and more unhealthy. And frustrated. Am I right? This doesn't mean we stop exercising. It means we learn and embrace what the latest research on exercise is showing. And then we need to correct our thinking and actions and use exercise to achieve the results we are after. 3 Exercise Mistakes and How to Correct The proven benefits of exercise go deeper than you think.
