In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How exercising can benefit other areas of your life.
  • How often you should workout.
  • What a realistic eating plan looks like.

You may have heard how your physical fitness can affect many other areas of your life—including your financial wellness. But what, specifically, are the benefits of a healthy body that make such a big difference?

The list probably includes more items than we can imagine, but the following are the most common benefits:

  • Better decision-making skills
  • Higher productivity
  • Longer attention span
  • Less instances of chronic disease
  • More energy/focus

When people think about getting serious about exercise, sometimes they try to pack a lot of training sessions into a week. More may not be more in this case. See what advice Brittney offers for how often you should workout.

Have you heard that physical health is 80% what we eat and 20% movement? Watch our video to see what Brittany thinks of this adage.

And, what does our fitness expert have to say about diet? Brittney talks about what she thinks of these numbers.
