Brad shares his personal experience with rebounding—a low-impact exercise he favors due to his lower back injury. He explains that rebounding, combined with various intensity levels and accessories like weight vests or oxygen deprivation masks, can help burn around 450 calories in just 30 minutes. Brad also compares other exercises, like treading water, which he discovered burns approximately 364 calories in 15 minutes. He emphasizes the importance of variety and keeping workouts enjoyable to avoid hitting plateaus, where your body becomes more efficient and burns fewer calories over time. For instance, he mentions adding resistance to treading water or trying high-intensity exercises like kickboxing, which burns significantly more calories than shadow boxing. Brad stresses the need for personalized experimentation with different activities to find what works best for each individual. He also highlights that men and women often burn calories differently due to muscle mass and weight. By keeping workouts fun and effective, Brad aims to help his audience lose weight and stay fit without sacrificing their social life, offering tips and tools to do just that.

518: Brad Williams - Burn More Calories at Home: The Power of Rebounding vs. Walking

Burn More Calories at Home: The Power of Rebounding vs. Walking Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Check Out The Rebounder From JumpSport:⁠ In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams discusses an effective method for burning more calories, particularly while at home. He shares his experience with rucking, a form of fast-paced walking with a weighted vest, which initially burned a significant amount of calories but has become less effective over time as his body adapted. To counteract this, Brad started using a rebounder (a small trampoline) for low-intensity jumping while watching TV. He discovered that consistent rebounding burns more calories—around 400 in 30 minutes—compared to rucking, which now only burns about 95 calories for the same duration. This higher calorie burn is due to the full-body engagement required during rebounding, even though it doesn’t feel as intense. Brad emphasizes the importance of shocking the body with new activities to prevent it from becoming too efficient and burning fewer calories. He has also experimented with adding resistance through weights and an oxygen deprivation mask to maintain high calorie expenditure as his body adapts to rebounding. Ultimately, Brad suggests that rebounding is a fun, convenient, and effective way to burn extra calories, making it a part of his daily routine. He encourages listeners to find activities that work for them, highlighting the benefits of tracking progress with a fitness tracker to optimize their workouts.

516: Nickie Ping - The Healing Power of LifeWave Patches: Phototherapy, Peptides, and Wellness for Those Over 40

The Healing Power of LifeWave Patches: Phototherapy, Peptides, and Wellness for Those Over 40 Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Nickie Ping - LifeWave 714-809-4144 (text preferred) nickieping916@gmail.com *Disclaimer: LifeWave patches are not used to treat or cure any condition.  These are a wellness product. In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams interviews Nickie Ping from LifeWave to explore the benefits of LifeWave patches, focusing on how they work, the different types available, and their potential applications for healing and wellness. Nickie explains that LifeWave patches use phototherapy technology, activated by body heat, to stimulate specific peptides in the body. The patches do not need direct skin contact and can even be worn over clothing. The key patch discussed, the X39, stimulates the copper peptide GHK-Cu, which is crucial for healing and overall health. Nickie emphasizes the importance of this peptide in repairing tissues and enhancing vitality as we age. Other patches mentioned include glutathione patches for detoxification and boosting antioxidants, the Aeon patch for reducing inflammation and promoting a sense of well-being, and specialized patches like the SP6 for hormone balance and Ice Wave for acute pain relief. Each patch uses a unique formulation to reflect different wavelengths of light, which in turn activate various peptides in the body. Brad shares his interest in using LifeWave patches to address a cartilage tear in his shoulder, aiming for tissue repair rather than just pain relief. Nickie recommends the "Dynamic Duo" of X39 and Aeon patches for deeper healing and inflammation reduction. She also explains that while placing patches directly on pain points is effective, there are default areas on the body where patches can be applied for general health benefits. The conversation delves into the benefits of consistent use, noting that regular patching can lead to reverse aging effects, better cognitive function, and enhanced physical performance. Nickie compares the natural, gradual benefits of these patches to more invasive, costly treatments like stem cell injections, emphasizing the importance of ongoing maintenance for lasting results. Overall, the episode highlights how LifeWave patches can support a holistic approach to health, providing a non-invasive way to stimulate natural healing processes, improve energy levels, and maintain overall well-being, especially for those over 40.
