(2:00) The six best keto-friendly oils? (6:00) Olive oil, avocado oil, tallow, ghee, real lard, butter, coconut oil, and macadamia nut oil. Macadamia nut oil is expensive. Read the ingredients on your labels: even lard and tallow can be cut with seed oils. (15:00) Chris shares a list of fitness tests that can help assess the aging process. (16:30) If you want to see them, you can watch the episode on YouTube.   What about the focus on “mirror muscles”? (35:00) This refers to things like triceps and biceps curls. Performing compound movements is typically sufficient to gain strength and remain functionally fit. Various zones are good to focus on while working out. (38:00) Power Zone: Glutes, hamstrings, or “posterior chain.” Dead lifts need to be worked up to; it’s not a beginner exercise. (39:00) Hip thrusts are good, especially with a hip thrust machine or with a Smith machine. Lunges are great, too, of course. Posture Zone: upper/middle back exercises Stability Zone: Pallof press or “Indian club” (which is a weighted bat or club) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.
