ADVICE

Thirty-Second Sprint For Fat Loss

  • Sprint for 30 seconds at maximal safe effort to stimulate stem cells and revitalize your cardiovascular system.
  • Pair short sprints with heavy lifting to recompose body fat into muscle rather than just losing pounds.
INSIGHT

Composition Beats Scale Numbers

  • Body composition matters more than the number on the scale because muscle and fat have very different health implications.
  • Two people with the same weight can have drastically different health and performance depending on muscle mass.
ADVICE

Lift Heavy To Reverse Muscle Loss

  • Lift heavy and eat enough protein and calories to build or maintain muscle at any age; there is no age limit for gains.
  • Focus on strength and progressive overload to reverse age-related muscle loss.
