Cheryl Bennett+Follow7,000 Steps Is the New 10,000?Turns out you don’t need to hit 10,000 steps a day to see real health benefits. New research says aiming for 7,000 steps can cut your risk of early death by almost half! The whole 10k thing? It started as a marketing gimmick for a Japanese pedometer. Bottom line: moving more (even just a little) is what matters. Walk, dance, garden—whatever gets you moving counts! #Fitness #HealthHacks #FitnessFacts20Share
Jeffrey Miller+FollowHow Much Exercise Cancels Out Sitting?Turns out, you can totally undo a day glued to your desk—if you squeeze in 30-40 minutes of solid, sweaty activity. That’s what a huge study found after tracking thousands of people with fitness trackers. Think brisk walks, cycling, or even some intense gardening. Any movement helps, but if you hit that half-hour mark, you basically erase the risks of sitting all day. Even small bursts count, so don’t stress if you can’t do it all at once! #HealthHacks #FitnessFacts #DeskLife #Fitness40Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowCreatine Gummies Are a Total Scam?!Just found out some creatine gummies are basically candy with a fancy label. Thomas DeLauer tested six brands and two had ZERO creatine, while another was so weak you’d need to eat 2,000 gummies for one dose. Only Create and Force Factor actually delivered what they promised. If you’re using gummies, you might be wasting your money—stick to powders if you want real results! #CreatineScam #SupplementTruth #FitnessFacts #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Annette Young+FollowCan Your Fingers Predict Marathon Skills?Ever checked if your ring finger is shorter than your index finger? Turns out, that little detail might mean you’re built for endurance running! A massive study found people with shorter ring fingers (compared to their index) could push through tough workouts longer before gasping for air. It’s all linked to hormones you got before you were even born. Wild, right? But don’t worry—no matter your finger length, hard work still matters way more than hand shape. (I checked mine… not exactly marathon material!) #FitnessFacts #MarathonReady #ScienceIsCool #Fitness20Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowDo Our Periods Really Change How We Work Out?Ever wondered if your period actually messes with your workout routine? Researchers just dropped some tea from the Apple Women’s Health Study: After tracking over 22 million workouts, they found most people stick to their usual exercise (think walking, cycling, yoga) no matter what phase of their cycle they’re in. The difference in workout time between phases is tiny! Bottom line: Just find a workout you love and keep moving—your hormones will thank you. #WomensHealth #AppleResearch #FitnessFacts #PeriodTalk #MoveYourWay #Health30Share
Joshua Morris+FollowTaking Breaks Won’t Kill Your GainsEver stress about missing a few weeks at the gym? Turns out, taking short breaks from training doesn’t mess with your muscle growth or strength. A study found that people who took 3-week breaks between training cycles made just as much progress as those who trained non-stop—and sometimes even more! Rest days actually help you avoid burnout and plateaus. So, don’t freak out if life (or vacation) gets in the way—your muscles will be just fine! #FitnessFacts #MuscleGrowth #RestDays #GymLife #WorkoutScience #Health261Share
