Over 40 Fitness Hacks

In this episode, we talk about the progress report of a gym-goer who has been following The Smart Fit Method at a gym in Costa Mesa, CA for the last two months. Despite partying non-stop after NFL Football season, the gym-goer was able to add five more pounds of muscle. The Smart Fit Method claims to provide a vastly superior workout in a fraction of the time as traditional methods, using technology-backed, adaptive resistance SMART Strength machines. Body: The Smart Fit Method's technology-backed SMART Strength machines are calibrated to provide the perfect amount of resistance for each rep, ensuring that the muscles are strained enough to get the desired results throughout the entire range of motion. This is based on the concept of "time under tension," which refers to the amount of time during exercise that your muscles are strained enough to get the desired results. Traditional weightlifting only provides a small portion of time under tension, making it less effective. Scientific studies have found that adaptive resistance training is 2.5 times as effective at fat loss than traditional weights, twice as effective for muscle mass gains, 3.5 times as effective for cardiovascular fitness, 90% greater for strength gains, and 72% more time efficient. The traditional gym approach of performing repetitions of each exercise, separated into sets, is not as effective as The Smart Fit Method's adaptive resistance training. Spending two hours at a typical gym to get 20 minutes of time under tension is not as efficient as spending just 20 minutes with SMART Strength machines. Conclusion: The Smart Fit Method's adaptive resistance SMART Strength machines provide a vastly superior workout in a fraction of the time as traditional methods, based on the concept of "time under tension." Devoting your life to a fitness studio is not necessary, but resistance training is essential for a healthy second half of life. The future of fitness is here, and you simply have to try it to believe it.

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast where we will be discussing the importance of tightening up your intermittent fasting routine. Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern that has gained popularity in recent years due to its numerous health benefits. In this episode, we will discuss how you can optimize your fasting routine to get the maximum benefits. Firstly, we will dive into the benefits of fasting. Fasting is an effective way to lose weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation in the body. It has also been found to increase longevity and promote cellular repair processes. Furthermore, studies have shown that intermittent fasting can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. One important aspect of intermittent fasting is keeping insulin spikes from happening during your fast. This means avoiding any food or drink that can raise your insulin levels, such as sugary or processed foods. By doing so, you allow your body to enter into a state of ketosis, where it burns stored fat for energy instead of glucose. During a recent podcast interview with a fasting expert, I learned a few holes in my own fasting routine. The expert pointed out that drinking coffee with cream during the fasting period could lead to an insulin spike and break the fast. Similarly, consuming Stevia in your water too close to the fasting period could also cause insulin levels to rise and break the fast. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to what you consume during the fasting period and to ensure that it does not disrupt your body's natural fasting state. In conclusion, tightening up your intermittent fasting routine can help you achieve maximum benefits and ensure that you get the most out of your fasting period. Remember to avoid any food or drink that can raise your insulin levels, and pay attention to your body's response to your fasting routine.
