What if I told you that just 7 minutes of movement per day could extend your lifespan? Or that exercising only on weekends provides nearly the same health benefits as daily workouts?

You're not alone if this sounds too good to be true—many high-achieving professionals have been conditioned to believe that exercise requires marathon sessions at the gym or it's not worth doing at all.

Join Dr. Adrienne Youdim as she breaks down the biggest myths about movement and reveals how even small, bite-sized amounts of activity can transform your physical health, mental clarity, and professional performance.

Don't forget to share this episode with friends and colleagues who might benefit from understanding that their body doesn't just need movement—it craves it!

What You'll Learn From This Episode:

• Separate exercise from weight loss expectations: Discover why exercise and weight loss need to "get a divorce" and how this misconception causes people to abandon movement altogether.
• Master the art of "exercise snacking": Explore how 30-second to 5-minute bursts of activity throughout your day can improve cardiovascular function, muscle strength, and blood sugar levels.
• Embrace the weekend warrior approach: Find out how exercising only on weekends can provide nearly the same health benefits as daily exercise, including 20% reduction in high blood pressure and 40% reduction in diabetes risk.
• Implement movement into your busy schedule: Discover practical ways to incorporate activity through dancing to one song, taking stairs, or doing desk exercises that counter sedentary behavior.

"Your body wants you to succeed. Your body is going to work with whatever you give it. Even the littlest form of activity will support you in your health and well-being." — Dr. Adrienne Youdim
