The Best Exercise? It's Personal

What's the best type of exercise? Fitness enthusiasts often ask this, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Our bodies are unique blends of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles, and what works for one person might not work for another.Show more

Elite athletes excel in activities that align with their muscle fiber dominance. Sprinters and powerlifters thrive on fast-twitch muscles, while marathon runners rely on slow-twitch fibers. But most of us fall somewhere in between. So, when people say, "Do what works for you," they're not brushing off the question; they're acknowledging our individuality.

In my case, I've found that I'm better suited for explosive, powerful movements like calisthenics and dumbbell workouts. I avoid heavy weights due to the risk of injury. The key takeaway is to explore different exercises. Don't fear stepping out of your comfort zone. Discover what feels right for your body and what you can maintain consistently.

Remember, fitness is a lifelong journey of self-discovery, and there's no "best" exercise—only what's best for you. So, embrace diversity, and enjoy the process. Thanks for joining me today, and stay tuned for more on customizing your exercise routine.
