This week on the Exercise Is Health podcast, Julie and Charlie discuss a common term in the exercise industry - modifications - and why the negative stigma that is typically associated with it is not justified. We are often told that there is a "gold standard" for how to do an exercise, and any variance of that is therefore less than "gold". However, being able to strategically modify your exercises will not only help you feel better, it will help you get better results from your workouts, too! Check out all of the details in this week's episode!

P.S. If you are looking for a way to exercise on your own at home while still receiving trainer-quality guidance, then you need to download a copy of the MAS At-Home Workout Program here.
