Regular exercise equals good health. We have all heard it at one point or another. In fact, it doesn’t matter which type of expert you go to see, be it for weight loss, growing muscle, longevity, or even overcoming fatigue, they will all say the same. ”In order to be healthy and fit, you need to exercise.” Now, some of you might sit and think, ”Ari, how am I going to exercise when I am so fatigued that even going to the toilet depletes my energy resources and leaves me bedbound for hours? I clearly suffer from exercise intolerance due to my fatigue.” If this is you, you are not alone. Many members of the Energy Blueprint Program have actually told me that they find the idea of exercising unrealistic and impossible. I think one of the barriers is how we view the concept ”exercise”. To many, exercise means going to the gym 4 times a week or running a marathon. And if you are suffering from CFS/ME or Fibromyalgia, that is indeed impossible. However, laying in bed all day long is not going to help you overcome fatigue either. So what is the answer? How can we change your view on exercise? How can you start training from where you are at your current exercise level? And how can you overcome exercise fatigue? This week, I have a talk with Alex Viada. Alex is probably one of the fittest people in the world. He has designed a hybrid training method that trains your body for health, strength, and longevity. The amazing thing about this particular method is that it can be applied to ANYONE REGARDLESS of their individual fitness level. In this episode, we will discuss exercise, why most people are exercising in ways that aren’t optimal for health, and how to train for weight loss, longevity, and energy (and overcome exercise intolerance.) In this podcast, we’ll cover Why it can be almost impossible for most people to exercise while on a diet How most people train in ways that aren’t optimal for health How to train for rapid muscle growth Why a good physical appearance doesn’t automatically mean you are healthy The difference between Cardiovascular (cardio), High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT), and strength (resistance) training How the ketogenic diet affects your health and exercise (when to eat it and when not to) How modern-day bodybuilders and powerlifters are some of the most unhealthy people on the planet Why most people aren’t doing HIIT at the proper intensity (and how to adjust so you reach the right intensity for you) Why you should incorporate cardio, HIIT, AND resistance training in your weekly exercise routine How to overcome exercise intolerance without ending up bed bound for days Why scientfic research on exercise and performance is limited (and why you should not rely on all research that is published as being good for your health) How to build strength and muscle without feeling pain after Should I just push through the pain and stress? Why recovery is as crucial to health as activity
