Complete Myth or Holy Grail of Fat Loss—Fasted Cardio has been one of the biggest “buzz words” in the fitness community for quite some time. Wether you are a proponent or detractor of this particular training method, you’re certainly familiar with the debate and likely have formed your own opinions…which is great! An informed conversation is usually a more productive one. And that’s all we’ve set out to do: Have a conversation, present the evidence, share our thoughts, and let you decide. With that being said… In this episode we investigate and discuss the following questions: WHAT is Fasted Cardio? Is Fasted Cardio REALLY the best option for fat loss? Does it even MATTER—What do the STUDIES say? How should I decide if Fasted Cardio is BEST FOR ME? Tune in to get our take on these questions and check out our latest YouTube Video (linked bellow), where Steven (@stevenhaahrfitness) performs a case study—on himself—and discusses the science in depth. ————————— ⭐️LATEST VIDEO: Mythbust Monday 002 https://youtu.be/TJjY3poEYAY ⭐️ YOUTUBE CHANNEL: Soulfit Labs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnUolzWPYDzUxQ_OWGltSw ⭐️ BUSINESS INSTAGRAM: @soulfit_labs https://www.instagram.com/soulfit_lab... ⭐️ WEBSITE: Soulfit Labs https://www.soulfitlabs.com/ ⭐️COFFEE: @coffeeovercardio Code: SFL10

In this episode, we talk all about how to work towards that coveted 6 pack look that so many of us are shooting for…and why no two 6 packs look alike! We discuss: Training Tips: Aesthetics vs. Functionality Diet Strategies: No, it’s not as simple as “abs are made in the kitchen” (it’s not complicated either!) Genetic Differences: What are “muscle bellies” anyway? All grounded in our own experiences both having and not having chiseled, washboard, perfectly symmetrical abs. So whether you have them, want them, or don’t really care/are listening for a “friend”, tune in because this one’s for everyone!

It’s Mind over Muscle! Better put: It’s Mind TO Muscle If you’re a regular listener, I’m sure you’ve heard us throw around the terms “mind muscle connection” and “conscious movement,” but up until now, we haven’t really explored what these terms mean. It’s finally that time! In our previous episode, we explored the significance of strength training and the overall concept of training for health. We signed off with a cliff-hanger that hinted there was very much a better and worse way to strength train and that it had its basis in the mind. In this podcast we explore the science and mentality behind the Soulfit method of strength training, with a little help from TEAM IBALANCE! Ibalance is brand new company soon to be launching an absolutely incredible personal fitness machine that we believe yields some great physical benefits and which really embodies some critical concepts that lie at the core of our training philosophy. Check out their Instagram @ibalancemacine! As spoilers go that’s not much of one, but you’ll need to tune in to find out more! Trust me when I say this is an interview and a product you don’t want to miss out on!
