Are you active all day long, always on your feet and moving around, rarely sitting or taking time to rest?

While this kind of activity is great, it is not a replacement for more focused and intense workouts.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are going to break down the difference between being active and exercising, why you need to do both, and how to get both in consistently.

If you have ever thought, “I don’t need to workout today because I have been up and moving all day long,” this episode is for you!

We share how to determine if you are exercising versus just being active (you’ll be surprised to hear this…) and how to make sure you are doing both throughout your week.

Check out all the details in this week’s episode!
