Episode notes

This chapter explores the significance of zone two cardio for overall health and fitness goals, discussing methods to monitor and incorporate it into daily activities. It also highlights the benefits and implementation of a training protocol focused on low repetition, pure strength work in the three to five repetition range. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of warming up adequately before engaging in heavy sets of resistance training for optimal results.

In this episode, I explain a set of fitness tools gleaned from the 6-part guest series on fitness, exercise and performance with Dr. Andy Galpin. First, I explain the essential components of a well-rounded fitness program for lifelong health and performance including the minimum requirements for progressive resistance and cardiovascular training. Then, I discuss 12 valuable science-supported fitness tools that take a small amount of time to implement, yet all of which can greatly enhance your level of fitness. These include short endurance-enhancing and strength and hypertrophy-enhancing tools, as well as psychological, respiration (breathing), nutrition and supplementation-based tools — all of which will improve your fitness in meaningful ways and can be easily layered into existing exercise programs to improve your fitness and performance outcomes.
