You don’t need more gym time—you need more movement.

In this episode, I break down the critical (and often misunderstood) difference between exercise and daily movement, and why both matter deeply for your long-term health, metabolism, and energy. Because let’s be honest: most of us are sitting all day, crushing a workout, and wondering why our health goals still feel out of reach.

This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about working with your biology. I’ll show you why your 10,000 steps might matter more than your workout—and how simple movement habits can change everything from your blood sugar to your brain fog.

Here’s what we cover:

• The science behind why movement matters more than you think
• Why even the best workout won’t undo 8 hours of sitting
• How your body was built to move—not just exercise
• What’s really happening in your metabolism between workouts
• 10 easy ways to sneak more movement into your day (without adding time)

Exercise builds strength. Movement builds health. You need both—and you can start right now, without changing your schedule.
