All exercise is not created equal. Just like calories, there are good forms, not-so-good forms, and everything in between. To get the body and health you want, it's critical that you learn to exercise smarter and not just harder.

What it boils down to is beginning with the end in mind. What are your real, desired goals? What is the end result that you really want?
