In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD is joined by fitness expert Mike Israetel to explore the challenges many people face when trying to start an exercise routine. Together, they dispel common myths about fitness, emphasizing that effective workouts don't require early mornings or hours in the gym—instead, just two thirty-minute sessions per week can bring real results. Dr. Malik and Dr. Israetel also discuss the psychological barriers to getting started, the welcoming nature of most gyms, and practical tips for building confidence, especially for women entering the weight room for the first time.
