Wrapping up our week here on exercise and, specifically, exercise adaptations. Hopefully, everyone's not too pissed off about the aerobic thing we did yesterday. But if they are, they will probably not be happy about the one we're doing today then either. But that's okay. So today we're talking about looking at cardiac tissue. Is
During this episode, I chat about about exercise and mitochondrial madness. So mitochondria appear to be the new sexy topic in exercise physiology. While you'll commonly hear them called the powerhouse of the cell, it's kind of technically true, but they do a lot of other things in addition to creating energy for your cells.
As of this recording, you may hear some different noises in the background. I'm in South Padre Texas doing some kiteboarding. You're probably wondering what kiteboarding has to do with the topic of exercise this week (other than it is a very good exercise). And if you know me, you know I could probably do

AAAAALLL about sleep. Want the # 1 tip for sleep that I found works really well? Now you may be thinking of answers like making your sleep cave, making sure that it's nice than dark, making sure that it's nice and cool or doing different things before bed, having a pre-bed ritual, maybe supplements using
Aaaah Sleeep. =) We'll chat about the number one problem that I see when trainers and clients discuss sleep . . . and it's probably not what you think, right? So here's how it typically goes (and I am entirely guilty of doing this in the past and probably still do it time to time.)
This week we're going to be talking about the effects of sleep. And so sleep is kind of the trendy thing in fitness now. And I would say there are lots of good reasons for that and we're going to explore some different aspects of this. One of the first ones I think is most
Macros redefined -- The concept of macro nutrient matching or macro matching is a concept that not many people talk about. The silence puzzles me. Be it too much coffee or too much research, it appears to almost make too much sense. It may seem basic but it's not well used. To create a more
