Since it’s October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month I think it’s only fitting to stress the importance of exercise to help decrease your chances of getting breast cancer. This blog post is dedicated to just that and answering some common fears about exercise.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah exercise is good for you. You’ve heard it a trillion times. If you are like most people then it takes a little more than hearing it from your favorite TV personality that working out does wonders for you. If you read this blog chances are you love sweating as much as I do but chances are there is someone in your life who needs a little push. (Maybe forward this post onto them.)
There are many misconceptions about exercise and I want to answer some of the questions that I hear often.
