With all the contradictory advice online, establishing the optimal workout routine can be SO confusing. So today, I’m joined by expert Harley Pasternak to rank fitness advice from social media to clear things up.

Harley has a masters in exercise physiology and nutritional sciences, he worked as an exercise and nutrition scientist for Canada's Department of National Defense, he's a five-time bestselling author, and he has the biggest celebrity client roster in the fitness industry—Halle Berry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Ariana Grande to name a few.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• How to structure a week of workouts with minimum time, maximum results

• Walking vs. running: which one is better

• When to lift heavy weights vs. light weights

• How important VO2 max is

• Why your body stops responding to exercise + the simple fix

• Where the 10,000 steps goal came from and if it’s legit

• If there’s a connection between cortisol and belly fat

• The difference between local fatigue and general fatigue and when to use them
