Summary

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. Certain forms of exercise are more effective than others at optimizing our health, metabolism, and longevity. Our aerobic condition, strength, muscle mass, flexibility, and agility are essential for staying healthy and aging well. One main reason why exercise is so effective at keeping us young is due to its hormetic effects. Strength training is one of the best practices for activating hormesis, and it’s available to everyone. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about the benefits of strength training and how to get started. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.
