How many push-ups should you be doing a day? Is walking better than running when you get older? Does swimming or weight-lifting help reduce your risk of heart disease? And is it true that abs are made in the kitchen and not the gym?

John Whyte, a board-certified internist and author of several books on health, offers the latest information and recommendations you need to know about what exercises you should—and should not—be doing. Using a combination of physiology and engineering (and some humor along the way), he shares the seven exercises you need to do to live longer, and the seven you need to stop before you cause harm. 

The session begins with an interactive quiz to test your current knowledge about exercise, and participants head home with useful handouts as well as links to videos that reinforce what they’ve learned.
