Key Takeaways: The truth is, you can exercise less, but just have more purpose when you do. Non-exercise activity time is actually really valuable to your well-being. Each of our bodies is different. The right amount of exercise for you might not be the right amount for another person. The reason for trying to reduce the amount of exercise you do is to manage your hormones. What types of hormone tests does Debra recommend? Women sometimes forget that they have to recover! Recovering between a workout is critical. Trying to get rid of your belly fat? It might be stress. By working out for 45 minutes, you might be increasing your cortisol levels instead of decreasing it. If your body is telling you to rest, do it! The exercise will always be there when you’re finally rested and restored. Dr. Benson shares her story of overworking herself during a marathon. Ask yourself why you’re exercising. Exercise addiction is a real thing. Two hours after you exercise, do you feel better or worse? The good news is that exercising can take less time and less effort than it ever used to for you to get the same benefits. You could be accelerating your aging instead of reversing it if you stress your body too much! What’s new in the world of health? Debra shares how you can lose cellulite through exercise!
