In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD, sits down with fitness expert Jordan Syatt to debunk popular fitness myths and discuss the misconceptions surrounding certain exercises, such as burpees. Jordan explains why burpees, often seen as a basic exercise, are better suited for experienced athletes rather than beginners due to their complexity and potential for injury. They also delve into how to effectively gauge workout intensity and the significance of the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale for both advanced lifters and everyday gym-goers. Listeners will benefit from practical advice on making their workouts more effective, avoiding common exercise pitfalls, and understanding how their body's cycles can affect performance.
