The Fiftysomething Workout: Your 5 Biggest Mistakes

In this article, Linda Melone address the "common exercise errors" to maximize the results in fitness.  Melone simply lists five different "don'ts" and gives a brief synopsis on why it is not beneficial to keep exercising with these tactics: not warming up, skip stretching, only focusing on cardio, easy workout and "avoiding power." However, Melone also gives ways under each of the five categories to help combat these misconceptions and make your workout more beneficial towards your healthy body.

Melone's use of logos and pathos helps her claim gain credibility and persuade the athletic audience to reach out of their comfort zone's to get results. Melone uses statistics and gives links to guide which will help her audience benefit and learn about their workout. By Melone putting herself into the article and using words such as "we" she is able to encourage her audience to change their workout routine.

As a reader, I felt well informed and interested in Melone's topic regarding health and workouts. Melone's aim to combat the misconceptions with workouts was successful.
