Fasted Morning Walk Protocol
- Walk fasted in the morning after drinking apple cider vinegar and fat-burning coffee to supercharge fat loss.
- This depletes sugar reserves, enabling your body to burn stored fat as energy during the walk.
Morning Sunlight & Grounding Benefits
- Walk outside in the morning sunlight to trigger a healthy cortisol spike and circadian synchronization.
- Walking barefoot on grass or sand boosts nitric oxide and supports mitochondrial health through grounding.
Add Sprints or Hills
- Add short sprints or hills to your walks to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis and increase fat-burning capacity.
- Try 3 minutes brisk walking followed by 1 minute sprinting or hill walking repeatedly for 30-45 minutes.
