We all know what exercise is (or at least we think we do). We are familiar with many of it’s benefits such as getting stronger, improving flexibility, and losing weight. However, there are a number of benefits that most of us may not be aware of and don’t commonly think about when it comes to exercise. These benefits are essential knowledge that can be inspiring and motivating for both the beginner just trying to get off the couch to get started and the super fit that is already committed to a fine-tuned routine. In some cases, those benefits are literately life changing. To help us understand why exercise is the best medicine everyone should be taking, our expert is internationally recognized exercise and fitness expert, Dr. Ed Laskowski.
The three big questions we are going to answer with Dr. Laskowski are:
1. How do you define “exercise”, and what types of activities count? 2. What are the “surprise” benefits of exercise that most folks don’t realize? 3. What changes do I need to make in my life in order to start reaping these benefits?
