Do you know the exercise guidelines by heart and still skip the workout because you'll never hit them? Have you wondered whether a ten-minute walk is worth putting your shoes on?

In this solo episode, Tara is talking about the minimum effective dose of exercise and why you might not need to work out as much as you think to see real health benefits.

After a conversation at our recent wellness retreat, she wanted to break down what the research actually says about movement, strength training, and staying healthy as we age.

You'll learn:

• How much exercise per week you really need to support your health, and why doing less than the recommended amount can still make a difference.
• How many steps a day is good for your health, and what the research reveals about the 10000 steps a day myth.
• Why strength training for women is so important as we age, especially strength training for women over 50, and the benefits of strength training for women that go far beyond appearance.
• What you should know about lifting heavy weights women might find intimidating, including what "heavy" actually means for your body.
• How exercise snacks can help you fit more movement into your day, even when you have a packed schedule.
• How to approach exercise for longevity so you can stay strong, active, and independent as you get older.

If you've ever skipped a workout because it wasn't going to be enough, this conversation gives you a starting point small enough to keep.
