We all know exercising is good for us, so why is it SO hard to stay motivated?

Well, on today’s episode, I’ve brought in a fitness expert to talk all about the “dos” and don’ts” of exercise.

Jennifer Cohen is a best-selling author focused on helping people build healthy habits to drive positive behavioral change. She’s also the Chief Operating Officer at Suprema Fitness and the host of the Habits & Hustle podcast.

Today, Jennifer and I are going to discuss the simple hacks you can use to make exercise an easy part of your routine and the 3 things you can do TODAY to start improving your mental and physical capabilities. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • A super simple trick to fit more exercise into your daily routine (4:15)
  • How to get “addicted” to exercise (and what that can be a GOOD thing) (6:15)
  • The best exercise for literally everybody (and it’s NOT what you think) (10:25)
  • Why doing THIS embarrasses my wife Penny (and why that’s actually a reason to keep doing it) (13:30)
  • What so many people get WRONG about the food they eat (17:20)
  • How to reduce your chances of getting dementia by as much as 80% (and it won’t even cost you a dime) (23:30)
  • The exercise that even better for you than walking (and nearly as easy) (24:45)
  • Two amazing exercises you can do anytime, anywhere (even while you’re “binge watching” Netflix!) (27:30)
  • Why so many kids are so inactive (and how YOU can help) (34:30)
  • The “shrug secret” of the world’s longest-living people (41:00)
  • How to start an exercise routine — even if you NEVER work out (you can even do it while you’re cooking dinner) (42:15)
  • The TRUTH about supplements and fasting (if you fast, then you need to hear this) (46:30)
