The Hormone-Boosting Minimalist Exercise Machine That Burns A Staggering Amount Of Calories In Just 21 Minutes.
Boundless Life
Intro
This chapter explores the remarkable findings from a study on a new exercise machine that significantly boosts anabolic hormones and reduces stress-related hormones. It also offers a personal touch as the speaker shares insights on controlling body chemistry through everyday choices like gum.
My guest on today's show is Sebastian Wasowski, who is the Co-Founder of Vasper Systems. I first interviewed Sebastian's father, and inventor of the Vasper, in the show "How To Get 2 Hours Of Exercise In Just 20 Minutes.", but plenty has happened since then...
...particularly the fact that I've been using the Vasper every morning for the past 3 months to experiment with just how good it actually is at building and maintaining fitness with a minimalist dose of exercise.
So what exactly is this thing? Vasper is a complete exercise system based on three scientifically proven principles: compression technology, cooling and interval training.
By combining all of these principles, the results are extraordinary. In 21-minutes, the Vasper enables you to get a complete workout. Utilizing compression, cooling, and interval training, the you are able to concentrate lactic acid and enhance growth hormone production.
The “cooldown” session, which involves laying on a cooling mat, enables you to workout again later in the day (should you like) or head straight into the office.
Vasper has a wide-range of use cases and users. The machine is used by medical professionals, people recovering from cardiac incidents, athletic teams, and the Special Forces.
During our discussion, you'll discover: -The story of the Vasper machine...8:45- Sebastian's father invented it to address his own health needs; post-traumatic stress in the ankles
- Discovered research on blood flow restriction, intermittent cold exposure, interval training
- Prototype was popular among locals on Big Island of Hawaii
- Company formed in 2009; successful trial with San Jose Sharks hockey team
- Designed to stimulate body's production of anabolic hormones in lesser threshold of a normal workout
- Mimics physiology of much more intense workout
- In a controlled study, participants using the Vasper far outperformed counterparts not using it
- Far better for overall health than exogenously induced compounds such as steroids
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
- Compression cuffs around the wrist
- How blood flow restriction occurs
- Pressure filled up via cold water rather than air in a blood pressure monitor
- Similar to Kaatsu devices
- The seat and foot pads are also cooled; enables user to be more powerful throughout the workout
- Positive metabolic response to the cold exposure
- Cooling mat is used post-workout to reset heart and respiratory rate to baseline
- Bare feet touch metal pads which are cooled by same cold water; lowers overall body temp
- You're able to ground with the earth via the machine; it's plugged in with a 3-prong plug
- 30 are programmed into the machine
- They are customizable for each individual user
- New protocols added are accessed via software update
- 21 minutes is optimal time to initiate max response from the endocrine system, without stimulating cortisol (stress response)
- Not recommended to go longer than 21 minutes, nor to do multiple sessions per day
- Can be used as a recovery tool on an off day
- Ben reports amazing results for active recovery after traveling, or working out the day prior
- The earlier the better for sleep quality
- Some report an increase in energy following the workout, harder time falling asleep
- Tony Robbins
- Prince of Dubai
- San Jose Sharks
- San Francisco 49ers
- Miami Dolphins
- Major League baseball team reported huge increases in testosterone levels after use
- LIVO2 mask
- Most users report a greater synergy with strength training when using the machine
- Research page on Vasper's website
- Andrews Institute study found that a single session, HSC stem cells increased in the blood
- Dr. Robert Cantu reported TBI patients are able to exercise without aggravating symptoms
