Are you someone that tends to shy away from exercise?  We know movement is important but when you don't know where to start, what's reasonable, or why you're doing it, those mental blocks can get in the way of success.

• How much resistance training should we be doing? 
• Are the body composition scales we use at home actually accurate?
