Latest / The Body Pod / Zone 2 Training, Rep Ranges, & Time-Restricted Eating for Women with Dr. Stacy Sims
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, This is Haley and I'm Laura and welcome
- 0:03Speaker 1: to the body Pod. Okay, Today on the Body Pod,
- 0:13Speaker 1: I get to speak in person with doctor Stacy Simms
- 0:15Speaker 1: and break down the most commonly asked questions that we
- 0:18Speaker 1: get about Zone too training, are their benefits and how
- 0:22Speaker 1: much should we do intermittent fasting versus time restricted eating,
- 0:26Speaker 1: as well as the rep ranges that I have programmed
- 0:29Speaker 1: in our power programs. This is a very open conversation
- 0:33Speaker 1: about accepting women coming into strength and cardio training at
- 0:36Speaker 1: all levels of fitness and taking the time that is
- 0:38Speaker 1: needed to build up safely to harder training styles. We
- 0:42Speaker 1: finish this conversation with the message that there is a
- 0:45Speaker 1: place for everyone and the desire to empower women to
- 0:48Speaker 1: do what works for them, as well as a reminder
- 0:51Speaker 1: that recommendations can and should be altered to fit your
- 0:54Speaker 1: individual lifestyles, your ability level, and your preferences. Let's get
- 0:59Speaker 1: into the show. Welcome back to the Body Pod in person.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Hi so excited to have you here and to be
- 1:12Speaker 1: doing this today. So I wanted to touch on the
- 1:15Speaker 1: three main questions that we get every single day. So
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm sure your email is flooded as is mine and
- 1:22Speaker 1: our DMS and in our groups about zone two training,
- 1:28Speaker 1: time restricted, eating, and REP ranges.
- 1:32Speaker 2: So we're gonna dive in deep. Okay, are you ready?
- 1:35Speaker 3: Sure?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Let's good.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Okay, So let's start with the zone two training. So
- 1:41Speaker 1: I think the message has been blown out of proportion
- 1:45Speaker 1: that you're saying no zone two. Ever, what is your
- 1:51Speaker 1: response to that.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Zone two is something that you can do. I'm not
- 1:57Speaker 4: anti zone two, my God, just put that out there.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Not anti zone two. But when we look at time
- 2:04Speaker 4: management for one and two, where the data is coming
- 2:08Speaker 4: from to show that zone two improves metabolic flexibility, it's
- 2:12Speaker 4: based on male physiology.
- 2:15Speaker 3: So I'll unpack that a bit.
- 2:17Speaker 4: When we are looking at sex differences, there are sex
- 2:19Speaker 4: differences that are from birth.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Actually they begin in utero.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And one of those inherent sex differences are the type
- 2:27Speaker 4: of muscle fibers that women and men have.
- 2:31Speaker 3: So we have things.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Called glycolytic that's our fast twitch, and we have oxidative,
- 2:35Speaker 4: which is our slow endurant type fibers. Women by the
- 2:39Speaker 4: nature of XX, because we don't have anything outside of
- 2:43Speaker 4: the binary XY for men and XX for women. Women
- 2:47Speaker 4: by the nature being XX are born with more of
- 2:50Speaker 4: the endurant oxidative fibers. With that, they also have better
- 2:56Speaker 4: mitochondria density, they have better mitochondrial proteins that allow for.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Fuel to be used.
- 3:04Speaker 4: By the cells, and we have less of those fast
- 3:07Speaker 4: twitched fibers as compared to men. So how that feeds
- 3:11Speaker 4: forward to training in the everyday person is when we're
- 3:15Speaker 4: looking at all the information out there about zone two
- 3:19Speaker 4: to improve metabolic flexibility, to improve your oxidative capacity. It's
- 3:24Speaker 4: based on the male data where men have to do
- 3:28Speaker 4: more of that zone two to improve the oxidative fibers
- 3:32Speaker 4: that they have. But for us women, we already have
- 3:37Speaker 4: metabolic flexibility. It's inherent because across our menstrual cycle, we're
- 3:42Speaker 4: switching between a preference for carbohydrate and fat, and that's
- 3:47Speaker 4: an offshoot of the exposure of estrogen and to some
- 3:50Speaker 4: extent progesterone that our body has on a monthly cycle. So,
- 3:55Speaker 4: by the nature of saying everyone needs zone too, do
- 3:58Speaker 4: zone two, it's a misstep for women.
- 4:01Speaker 3: So I'm not saying don't do it.
- 4:04Speaker 4: We can do it for our soul food, we can
- 4:06Speaker 4: do it for you know, stress release, We can do
- 4:10Speaker 4: it as a chat as we're going for a walk
- 4:12Speaker 4: with our friends. But there isn't the precedence that women
- 4:16Speaker 4: have to spend so much time.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Doing Zone two.
- 4:19Speaker 4: So if we look at the recommendations that are coming
- 4:21Speaker 4: out about zone two training, they're saying between forty five
- 4:25Speaker 4: and ninety minutes, four to five times a week.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Oh right, who has time for that?
- 4:30Speaker 2: Nobody has that time, right, So we.
- 4:33Speaker 4: Look at optimizing women's health and longevity. So we're not
- 4:37Speaker 4: trained for anything specific. We're not training for a marathon
- 4:40Speaker 4: or an iron Man or one hundred mile bike ride.
- 4:44Speaker 4: That's a different kettle of fish. So if we're training
- 4:48Speaker 4: for health and longevity, we want to improve women's glycolytic fibers.
- 4:54Speaker 4: We lose them rapidly as we age. But the other
- 4:57Speaker 4: really critical thing for longevity is being able to produce lactate.
- 5:03Speaker 4: So lactate is the metabolic byproduct of fast twitch and
- 5:09Speaker 4: anaerobic capacity. It's a critical fuel for the brain. The
- 5:15Speaker 4: brain prefers lactate, so does the heart. If we don't
- 5:18Speaker 4: produce lactate and we are amiss in how much that
- 5:22Speaker 4: we are producing, then our brain metabolism changes and it
- 5:27Speaker 4: relies more on glucose. When we're looking at it from
- 5:31Speaker 4: a health perspective, it doesn't seem like that big of
- 5:34Speaker 4: a deal because your brain is still working optimally. But
- 5:38Speaker 4: when we're looking at sex differences in cognitive decline, we're
- 5:41Speaker 4: looking at sex differences in alzheimer development, and all of
- 5:46Speaker 4: this is coming out, we see that not only is
- 5:49Speaker 4: it a sociocultural thing where women who are now experiencing
- 5:53Speaker 4: Alzheimer's dementia and cognitive decline didn't have the availability of
- 5:58Speaker 4: fast paced kind of jobs that are now available, so
- 6:01Speaker 4: we already have a little bit of decline in that.
- 6:04Speaker 4: But from a metabolic standpoint, lactate isn't happening. We're not
- 6:08Speaker 4: having lactate metabolism, so we're not having the neurons connecting
- 6:12Speaker 4: very well. We're not having glial cells working optimally. So
- 6:17Speaker 4: it contributes to the sex difference in cognitive decline. So
- 6:22Speaker 4: when we pull it back and say what is optimal
- 6:24Speaker 4: for women who are time pressed wanting to have good
- 6:28Speaker 4: body composition, really good metabolic health, as well as looking
- 6:33Speaker 4: after our brains. So when we're seventy eighty ninety one
- 6:36Speaker 4: hundred years old, we still have all our faculties. It's
- 6:40Speaker 4: looking at polarizing our training where we are putting in
- 6:43Speaker 4: true high intensity work, we're putting in proper strength training
- 6:48Speaker 4: because that also helps with brain health.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And when we want.
- 6:51Speaker 4: To have our soul food, we go out and we
- 6:54Speaker 4: have our soul food, but it's not the bread.
- 6:56Speaker 3: And butter of what we do.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Women do better from an aging perspective of peppering in
- 7:02Speaker 4: more high intensity.
- 7:03Speaker 3: And less volume.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Men, on the other hand, as they get older, they
- 7:08Speaker 4: need more metabolic flexibility, so yes, they need to do
- 7:11Speaker 4: the zone two. They need to improve their oxidative capacity,
- 7:14Speaker 4: they need to improve their mitochondria density, which means their
- 7:18Speaker 4: body is able to use free fatty acids. Well, but
- 7:21Speaker 4: for women, we're already there by the nature of being XX.
- 7:25Speaker 4: This is why I'm always like, you don't have to
- 7:27Speaker 4: spend all this time doing zone two. If you are
- 7:30Speaker 4: an endurance athlete, then yes you do, because you need
- 7:34Speaker 4: that base volume in order to be able to raise
- 7:37Speaker 4: one hundred miles or finish a marathon. But for the
- 7:41Speaker 4: general woman who's looking to optimize health and fitness and longevity,
- 7:46Speaker 4: you don't have to put so much time into that
- 7:48Speaker 4: zone two training.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Okay, So, for example, for someone that is starting out
- 7:54Speaker 1: and they have they've not been regularly exercising than and
- 8:00Speaker 1: would it be appropriate for them to go straight into
- 8:03Speaker 1: high intensity interval training or would you phase them in.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Just like anything, like, all movement is good, and so
- 8:11Speaker 4: if you're just starting out, then you want to move
- 8:15Speaker 4: right and you might hit a higher intensity because your
- 8:19Speaker 4: body's not used to moving, and you might go for
- 8:22Speaker 4: a walk and hit an incline and then all of
- 8:24Speaker 4: a sudden you're in a higher intensity. But over the
- 8:27Speaker 4: course of a couple of weeks, that hill's going to
- 8:28Speaker 4: flatten out for you. It's not going to feel hard.
- 8:31Speaker 4: So we want you to just enjoy and learn how
- 8:34Speaker 4: to move before we start putting in any kind of
- 8:36Speaker 4: high intensity. And then it could be you're going on
- 8:39Speaker 4: your twenty or thirty minute walk and you deviate and
- 8:42Speaker 4: do some flights of stairs on your walk, or maybe
- 8:45Speaker 4: you increase your pace of it. So there's ways of
- 8:49Speaker 4: phasing in high intensity, and it's relative, and the fitter
- 8:52Speaker 4: you get, the more that intensity comes into running sprints
- 8:57Speaker 4: or battle ropes or kettlebell swings, the things that we
- 9:00Speaker 4: talk about on a regular basis. But anyone can start
- 9:04Speaker 4: just start by moving, and then you can vary your
- 9:07Speaker 4: intensity in your preferred mode, and it doesn't have to
- 9:11Speaker 4: be something that's really really focused in a gym. It
- 9:14Speaker 4: can be I'm going to go up this hill and
- 9:16Speaker 4: I'm going to do thirty second hill reps. And it
- 9:19Speaker 4: could be walking, could be running, it could be power
- 9:22Speaker 4: walking something like that, and that will get you on
- 9:26Speaker 4: the road to doing and getting used to higher intensity work.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Okay, So I think this is where and you just
- 9:32Speaker 1: covered this a second ago. I think the conversation is
- 9:35Speaker 1: getting muddled out there when women are feeling like there's
- 9:40Speaker 1: a barrier to exercise because they think there's only one
- 9:44Speaker 1: specific way to exercise. And what I hear you saying
- 9:48Speaker 1: is there's different modes that do different things. But our time,
- 9:52Speaker 1: at this age, we want to really put in some
- 9:54Speaker 1: of those high intensity intervals and those sprint intervals. But
- 9:58Speaker 1: there is a phase in and if you are new
- 10:00Speaker 1: to exercise it, it's totally appropriate to start there and
- 10:05Speaker 1: then ramp up and start peppering in some of those
- 10:08Speaker 1: hit sessions before you go full throttle.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Yeah, because I don't want someone to have the experience
- 10:15Speaker 4: that a lot of kids have where kids are really
- 10:19Speaker 4: active and having fun and then they're put into like
- 10:22Speaker 4: a pe class that makes them do running or makes
- 10:24Speaker 4: them do something that they really don't like, and they
- 10:26Speaker 4: get a really negative attitude around physical activity. When we
- 10:31Speaker 4: are looking at adults who haven't been moving and they
- 10:33Speaker 4: want to start their journey, we want it to be
- 10:36Speaker 4: a positive reinforcement. So is it ten minutes walking for
- 10:40Speaker 4: three times a week at the start? That's better than nothing, right,
- 10:44Speaker 4: So we look at phasing people in just like strength training.
- 10:47Speaker 4: We're not going to throw someone in the gym and
- 10:49Speaker 4: have them do a hundred kilo deadlift or anything like that, right, No, no, no,
- 10:54Speaker 4: we phase everyone in. So I don't want people to
- 10:57Speaker 4: think that there's this barrier because they're not fit enough
- 11:00Speaker 4: or they're not confident enough. We did a study back
- 11:04Speaker 4: when I was at Stanford looking at pre fitness fitness,
- 11:08Speaker 4: So what are the barriers to exercise? And one of
- 11:11Speaker 4: them is, well, we know lack of community, but also
- 11:15Speaker 4: the uncomfortable aspect of heat and sweating. So we did
- 11:20Speaker 4: some pretty cooling and taking away that one barrier allowed
- 11:24Speaker 4: women to develop a fitness level that gave them the
- 11:28Speaker 4: confidence to go out and join a class, or join
- 11:31Speaker 4: a gym, or go out and do a hill instead,
- 11:33Speaker 4: So we have to look at the barriers as well. So, yeah,
- 11:36Speaker 4: we can drink something cool for the heat aspect. But also,
- 11:41Speaker 4: if you have ownership with a friend and you both
- 11:43Speaker 4: want to start out on this journey, you're not going
- 11:45Speaker 4: to tell your friend, Okay, do thirty second sprints, right,
- 11:49Speaker 4: So you want to have some of that ownership as well.
- 11:51Speaker 4: It's like, what would you tell your friend if your
- 11:53Speaker 4: friend is wanting to start on this journey. So you
- 11:57Speaker 4: are your friend and maybe you have that commonality of
- 12:02Speaker 4: calling your friend up and saying, hey, let's meet for
- 12:04Speaker 4: ten or fifteen minutes and go for a walk.
- 12:07Speaker 1: All right, So Stacy, can you define zone two training?
- 12:11Speaker 2: And are there benefits to zone two training?
- 12:16Speaker 4: Yeah, So when we're looking to quantify intensity and stress
- 12:19Speaker 4: on the body, we look at different zones. We have
- 12:22Speaker 4: zone one, two, three, four, five, Some people say six,
- 12:26Speaker 4: and some companies are now saying zero and zero has
- 12:30Speaker 4: been zero has not been quantified in sports science, so
- 12:34Speaker 4: we don't pay attention to that. Zone two is going
- 12:39Speaker 4: out and having a conversational pace where you're still like
- 12:42Speaker 4: breathing hard, your heart rate is elevated, but it's not
- 12:46Speaker 4: overly taxing you.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Can do it for a very long period of time.
- 12:51Speaker 4: The benefit of zone two is it's cardiovascular health, right,
- 12:55Speaker 4: So we are increasing our heart rate, We're creating more
- 12:58Speaker 4: of a muscle pump, so we're stimulating cardiac muscle. We're
- 13:01Speaker 4: improving our blood flow, and of course stress release.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 13:06Speaker 4: It's lower intensity, it's not too taxing in the body.
- 13:09Speaker 4: We don't have a lot of quartersol that's released, so
- 13:13Speaker 4: we're looking at it as a stress reliever. It's really
- 13:17Speaker 4: good for improving our cardiovascular health, which then improves blood
- 13:20Speaker 4: flow for men and improves metabolic flexibility for women. Were
- 13:26Speaker 4: I mean, it does use more free fatty acids because
- 13:28Speaker 4: it's lower intensity, but it doesn't invoke the same metabolic
- 13:31Speaker 4: flexibility that we see with men.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Okay, so I use it. I'm curious your thoughts on this.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I will use it if I have a one on
- 13:38Speaker 1: one client and they're in, you know a little bit
- 13:43Speaker 1: of a calorie deficet that we're watching and they just
- 13:45Speaker 1: aren't recovering as well on lower calories.
- 13:48Speaker 2: So I'll use it as a recovery.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Day and something that they can look forward to where
- 13:52Speaker 1: they don't have to smash themselves, you know, in that
- 13:55Speaker 1: hour and maybe instead of the choice of not working
- 13:58Speaker 1: out that they would go out for zone too, So
- 13:59Speaker 1: that would be an appropriate.
- 14:01Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. I mean there are times when I
- 14:05Speaker 4: travel a lot, right, and the Transmorrinian travel is a nightmare,
- 14:09Speaker 4: But I want to get outside and move every day.
- 14:12Speaker 4: I'm not going to go do a hit session every day.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I'm not going to go smash myself in the gym
- 14:16Speaker 4: every day. So there are times where I'm like, I
- 14:19Speaker 4: just want to move and it is zoned too, and
- 14:21Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily trained for anything, but it's movement, it's outside,
- 14:25Speaker 4: it's waking me up, it's making me feel good, and yeah,
- 14:29Speaker 4: there is a bit of a calorie burn, but it
- 14:30Speaker 4: also works for recovery, for resetting circadian rhythm, for just
- 14:35Speaker 4: allowing the body.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Just to go, oh okay great.
- 14:38Speaker 4: So it is a really massive stress relieving response. So
- 14:42Speaker 4: it creates a cascade of hormonal responses to just allow
- 14:46Speaker 4: the body to get more parasympathetic.
- 14:49Speaker 3: And so yes, it's really beneficial for recovery.
- 14:52Speaker 1: And I love, love, love our zone two rights that
- 14:55Speaker 1: we've got on, I know, to catch up, So can
- 14:58Speaker 1: you describe blactate? Is that something do we get the
- 15:02Speaker 1: same benefit from strength training with the lactate that's moving
- 15:07Speaker 1: in the body, or is that a separate conversation.
- 15:10Speaker 4: It depends on what kind of strength training we're doing.
- 15:14Speaker 4: So when we're looking at how the body fuels itself,
- 15:17Speaker 4: it's not a linear progression of ATPCP right into fat burning.
- 15:22Speaker 4: We're always kind of using everything all the time. When
- 15:27Speaker 4: we get to a precedence of lactate production, it means
- 15:30Speaker 4: that we are at a level of intensity where it's
- 15:34Speaker 4: too hard for the body to be able to take
- 15:38Speaker 4: some of the breakdown components of carbohydrate and pull it
- 15:42Speaker 4: into aerobic exercise. So if we're looking at strength training
- 15:47Speaker 4: and we're doing a circuit like every minute on the
- 15:49Speaker 4: minute using kettlebells or something like that, then we're producing lactate.
- 15:54Speaker 4: If we're doing a typical heavier lifting session, that's not
- 15:57Speaker 4: lactate production. That's ATPC, and we are using a little
- 16:02Speaker 4: bit of glucose because we get into that, but we're
- 16:05Speaker 4: not at a level where a body can't regenerate fast enough.
- 16:09Speaker 3: So when we're looking.
- 16:11Speaker 4: At the availability of fuel, when we're looking at the
- 16:16Speaker 4: higher loads, lower volume type, so you're heavier lifting, that
- 16:22Speaker 4: is not lack tap production if we're looking at a
- 16:24Speaker 4: circuit or we're looking at a metabolic stimulus of higher
- 16:28Speaker 4: higher reps. So we're doing the twenty or whatever to failure,
- 16:31Speaker 4: which isn't that appropriate for our group of women? That
- 16:36Speaker 4: can be LAC tap production. But it also depends on
- 16:39Speaker 4: how much rest is between the sets.
- 16:42Speaker 2: So let's move on to the rep ranges.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And when we launched our first power programs, I know
- 16:49Speaker 1: we wrote the program together and we put it out
- 16:53Speaker 1: to the.
- 16:54Speaker 2: World, and I know there was a lot of chatter and.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Confusion about there are some hyperchurvy blocks in there.
- 17:00Speaker 2: There's max strength blocks for the beginner.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Obviously, there's no low rep heavy lifting, and we have
- 17:08Speaker 1: higher reps in that to really.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Teach them how to move.
- 17:12Speaker 1: But it was it's very confusing to women when they'll
- 17:15Speaker 1: come into our programs and they'll say, well, Stacy wants
- 17:19Speaker 1: me to only lift low reps heavyweight.
- 17:22Speaker 2: You know, why do I have higher reps in the beginning.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's a misconception I think in the fitness
- 17:32Speaker 4: world where if you're going to do strength trending, you
- 17:35Speaker 4: can't do any cardio. If you're doing cardio, you shouldn't
- 17:38Speaker 4: do strength training, especially heavy loads.
- 17:40Speaker 3: If you are going to do strength training.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Then you should just lift heavy in a power based
- 17:43Speaker 4: and you shouldn't do hypperchaffee or you should just do
- 17:46Speaker 4: hyghpercha feed to failure. But there's a it's not a
- 17:50Speaker 4: linear progression of things. We have to look at completely
- 17:55Speaker 4: altering and changing things up as we go. So when
- 17:58Speaker 4: we're looking at the higher reps and the lower loads
- 18:01Speaker 4: in the beginning program, it's.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Because one we don't want injury. Two we want people
- 18:06Speaker 3: to learn how to move properly.
- 18:07Speaker 4: How do you squat? What is your depth? What are
- 18:10Speaker 4: your sticking points? Do we have to work on mobility?
- 18:12Speaker 4: How's your core strength? Because we're not going to put
- 18:14Speaker 4: you under load if you are a bindi and not
- 18:17Speaker 4: like a bamboo straw.
- 18:20Speaker 3: So when we're.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Looking at how the body responds to it, your body
- 18:24Speaker 4: responds to load and it doesn't matter if it's higher
- 18:27Speaker 4: low load. But what kind of adaptations do we want.
- 18:29Speaker 4: That's why we want to build women into lifting heavier
- 18:33Speaker 4: in the power based stuff, but not staying in that
- 18:37Speaker 4: high loading and lower rep range for the rest of
- 18:43Speaker 4: their life. Right, we need to have a periodization, which
- 18:46Speaker 4: is what you're so great at doing and prescribing in
- 18:50Speaker 4: the programs. So we build up and then we work
- 18:53Speaker 4: on our max strength, and then we have a recovery dload.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Maybe we're doing some higher reps there, maybe we're doing
- 18:58Speaker 4: some cluster sets, we're doing some ballistic movements, and then
- 19:02Speaker 4: we can rebuild because part of it is we want
- 19:04Speaker 4: that central nervous system response to actually take the place
- 19:08Speaker 4: of estrogen to build the.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Lean mass in the bone.
- 19:11Speaker 4: But then we also want to have different stimulus so
- 19:13Speaker 4: that the neuromuscular connections also are having a challenge instead
- 19:19Speaker 4: of just always recruiting as many muscle fibers as possible. Yes,
- 19:23Speaker 4: And I think people get confused when they're like, wait,
- 19:27Speaker 4: I just want to lift heavy. First, we need to
- 19:31Speaker 4: make sure your body's really stress resilient enough to take
- 19:34Speaker 4: on those loads. And as you're taking those loads on,
- 19:38Speaker 4: we have to back it off a little so that
- 19:39Speaker 4: you can become more stress resilient.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Well.
- 19:43Speaker 1: And I think what I love that you just said
- 19:46Speaker 1: is to be able to give women the freedom to say, listen, one,
- 19:52Speaker 1: there's no possible way that we could come up with
- 19:55Speaker 1: one program that would cover everything, and that would be
- 19:59Speaker 1: suitable every single female and their specific situation. So the
- 20:03Speaker 1: goal really is, as we get women into strength training,
- 20:06Speaker 1: and I would love to hear your point on this
- 20:08Speaker 1: as well, is to come in at the level that
- 20:12Speaker 1: you are comfortable doing. And yes we want to push you,
- 20:15Speaker 1: and yes, at some point we want to mix in
- 20:18Speaker 1: these lower lower rep ranges or mid rep ranges, but
- 20:22Speaker 1: it's a different purpose. If you have an injury, maybe
- 20:25Speaker 1: you're not doing low reps for X amount of months
- 20:29Speaker 1: while you're recovering, or you know, if you're trying to
- 20:33Speaker 1: work on some stability muscles that require a bit of
- 20:36Speaker 1: time to stabilize, then maybe you're doing some higher reps there.
- 20:40Speaker 1: But that's not where we're staying in those you know,
- 20:43Speaker 1: twenty thirty rep ranges. Now, I just did a foundation
- 20:46Speaker 1: program where I did do you know, twenty twenty five reps,
- 20:49Speaker 1: but it was once a year and it was for
- 20:52Speaker 1: three weeks.
- 20:54Speaker 2: So it's not something that I stay in.
- 20:55Speaker 1: But the fusion of the science and real life coaching
- 21:01Speaker 1: is meant to be tailored, especially when you're selling online
- 21:07Speaker 1: programs where we don't have this one on one connection
- 21:11Speaker 1: with women. Our goal for everyone is to not get
- 21:15Speaker 1: injured to fall in love with strength training and to
- 21:19Speaker 1: just keep at it so that we do have this
- 21:21Speaker 1: good quality of life through hopefully seventies, eighties, and nineties.
- 21:26Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, because there's so many women. I get asked
- 21:29Speaker 4: all the time, where do I start. I don't feel
- 21:31Speaker 4: comfortable going to a gym. It's so gendered.
- 21:33Speaker 3: We know this.
- 21:34Speaker 4: You walk into any big brand gym and as a woman,
- 21:38Speaker 4: they're like, oh, there are the cardio machines.
- 21:39Speaker 3: As a guy, you're talking.
- 21:41Speaker 4: They're lifting platforms back there, and we have XYZ strength equipment,
- 21:46Speaker 4: so women are intimidated to go into that. So one
- 21:49Speaker 4: of the goals that we have is to make it accessible.
- 21:51Speaker 4: If you have a program and you can go into
- 21:53Speaker 4: gym and there's someone on the app to show you
- 21:55Speaker 4: what to do and how to do things, it boots
- 21:57Speaker 4: the confidence. I've seen women in gyms on our app
- 22:02Speaker 4: working out together and I love it.
- 22:05Speaker 3: It's great. And you know, so I see that. It
- 22:08Speaker 3: also brings in house.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Community, yes, as well as the community that we're developing online.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Yes, and Stacy, you are the pioneer in this space
- 22:16Speaker 1: and everyone will we'll give you that title. So we're
- 22:21Speaker 1: super grateful if we move on from the rep ranges
- 22:25Speaker 1: and the third question that I want to really bring
- 22:28Speaker 1: up in this confusion space of intermittent fasting and time
- 22:34Speaker 1: restricted eating. Now, I know where you stand on the
- 22:38Speaker 1: time restricted eating, but most women are getting confused on
- 22:42Speaker 1: whether intermint fasting and time restricted eating are the same thing.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Are they the same thing? And what do we recommend?
- 22:49Speaker 4: They are definitely not the same thing. So we look
- 22:53Speaker 4: at interminute fasting. There's lots of different avenues to take
- 22:59Speaker 4: when we're.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Looking at intern in it fasting.
- 23:01Speaker 4: We look at holding your fast till noon or after
- 23:05Speaker 4: and so you have like a four hour eating window,
- 23:07Speaker 4: and in that four hour eating window there are no
- 23:10Speaker 4: real restrictions on what you're eating. We see some people
- 23:14Speaker 4: are doing a twelve twelve where they are twelve hour
- 23:17Speaker 4: overnight fast and twelve hours of eating window. Again no
- 23:22Speaker 4: real confines around what they're eating in that twelve hour
- 23:26Speaker 4: You could have a sixteen hour fast. So with inter
- 23:29Speaker 4: minute fasting, there's no real identification of circadian rhythm. We're
- 23:35Speaker 4: looking at time restricted eating. We're looking at fueling the
- 23:40Speaker 4: body when it needs to be fueled and then having
- 23:43Speaker 4: an overnight fast. So time restricted would be you get
- 23:48Speaker 4: up and as a woman, you're having breakfast or not
- 23:51Speaker 4: full breakfast, with something to eat within like a half
- 23:53Speaker 4: an hour after you wake up to drop your cortisol
- 23:56Speaker 4: signal to hypothalamus that there's some nutrition coming in. And
- 24:00Speaker 4: then maybe you go training, then you come home, have
- 24:03Speaker 4: your real breakfast, and then you're eating on regular like
- 24:06Speaker 4: you're having your meals and your snacks, and then you
- 24:08Speaker 4: have dinner and you don't have anything after dinner. You
- 24:11Speaker 4: stop eating with dinner being over. So it might be
- 24:14Speaker 4: six seven, seven thirty at night, so you have around
- 24:17Speaker 4: two hours before bed, and then you have a twelve
- 24:21Speaker 4: hour It could even be a fourteen hour fast because
- 24:24Speaker 4: you stop eating at seven thirty and maybe you don't
- 24:28Speaker 4: get up if you're lucky enough, till nine, and then
- 24:30Speaker 4: you have something at nine thirty. But most people can
- 24:34Speaker 4: do an eleven or twelve hour fast every night, and
- 24:37Speaker 4: that's what we call time restricted eating.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Okay, So then time restricted eating is the same thing
- 24:44Speaker 1: as really eating around your circadian clock. Yes, exactly, Okay,
- 24:49Speaker 1: hallelujah that we have defined that, because that is a
- 24:52Speaker 1: question I get on the daily. So when would intermitt
- 24:57Speaker 1: fasting be appropriate for someone? Did you recommend it for
- 25:01Speaker 1: any specific reason.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Now for men and women. No, because we look at
- 25:08Speaker 4: the population research that's coming out in overweight, sedentary obese,
- 25:16Speaker 4: like lots of different studies in that looking at early
- 25:20Speaker 4: versus late breaking a fast. We see individuals who break
- 25:24Speaker 4: their fast by eight eight thirty in the morning and
- 25:28Speaker 4: then they stop eating around four or five in the
- 25:30Speaker 4: afternoon get the benefits of what we think about with
- 25:34Speaker 4: Intermitte fasting. They have more metabolic control, more blood glucose control,
- 25:38Speaker 4: which comes in the metabolic control. They are improving their
- 25:42Speaker 4: lean mass, they're improving neuroplasticity, We're getting more autophagy because
- 25:48Speaker 4: they have that overnight fast and they're working with their
- 25:50Speaker 4: circadian rhythm.
- 25:51Speaker 3: We see people men and.
- 25:53Speaker 4: Women who hold their fast till noon or after and
- 25:58Speaker 4: then they end up having a later eating window, so
- 26:01Speaker 4: they might not finish eating till seventh thirty eight eight
- 26:06Speaker 4: thirty at night.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Oh I'm already in bed.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Yeah, But there is no change.
- 26:11Speaker 4: There's no metabolic change, there's no increase in topogy. There
- 26:14Speaker 4: is an increase in cortisol. Baseline cortisol goes up because
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's a stress. It's an incredible stress on the body.
- 26:22Speaker 4: To wake up and try to go through the day
- 26:24Speaker 4: without fuel because if you're thinking about, Okay, I finished
- 26:28Speaker 4: eating at eight pm and then I'm not going to
- 26:30Speaker 4: eat again until noon, that's a very very long time
- 26:33Speaker 4: for the body not to have fuel. And I put
- 26:36Speaker 4: it to people, I'm like, would you take your car
- 26:39Speaker 4: out on the motorway on eat and try to see
- 26:44Speaker 4: how far you can get before you get to.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Or petrol gas station. There are some people will say, yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 3: I do that.
- 26:51Speaker 4: I do that all the time, But most people won't
- 26:53Speaker 4: do that because they know what's gonna happen in the car.
- 26:56Speaker 4: It's just going to and they're going to be stuck.
- 26:59Speaker 4: So we have to think about our bodies, right, But
- 27:01Speaker 4: it's not only about So many people focus on calories.
- 27:05Speaker 4: They don't think about nutrient density. So when you are
- 27:08Speaker 4: choosing in your eating window, you want it to be
- 27:10Speaker 4: nutrient dense. So that's looking exactly at removing ultra process,
- 27:15Speaker 4: taking care of your got microbiome, eating lots of lene proteins,
- 27:19Speaker 4: doing the eighty twenty rule.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Right.
- 27:21Speaker 4: If you need a calorie deficit, well that's when you
- 27:23Speaker 4: are really conscious on what you're eating for dinner. Maybe
- 27:26Speaker 4: you have one hundred, one hundred and fifty calorie deficit
- 27:29Speaker 4: at dinner, and then that feeds forward to a calorie
- 27:31Speaker 4: deficit and improves your parasympathetic responses overnight. The other thing
- 27:36Speaker 4: about your circadian rhythm is we have hormone pulses throughout
- 27:40Speaker 4: the day that is reliant on light and food.
- 27:43Speaker 3: So if we're not.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Eating, then we're we're off shooting our hormone pulses. So
- 27:48Speaker 4: this means our appetite hormones are skewed. Our testosterone, our estrogen,
- 27:52Speaker 4: they're skewed. Our lutinizing hormone pulse is skewed, So we're
- 27:56Speaker 4: creating a lot of dysfunction in the body. So we're
- 27:59Speaker 4: looking at that popular research, they're going, okay, well, part
- 28:02Speaker 4: of this is because there's a misstep in hormonal control
- 28:05Speaker 4: that is supposed to be part of our normal wake.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Up and sleep cycle.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Food and light are the two most powerful ways of
- 28:13Speaker 4: resetting your circadian rhythm. So if you're holding a fast
- 28:17Speaker 4: and then you're just eating in the afternoon, you're shifting
- 28:20Speaker 4: as if you're doing a night shift. And we see
- 28:23Speaker 4: the literature out there how bad night shift has an
- 28:26Speaker 4: impact on overall health.
- 28:27Speaker 2: And well being bless the night shift worker.
- 28:31Speaker 3: I know.
- 28:33Speaker 1: We love them, so Okay, the questions then that would
- 28:36Speaker 1: come up, what if I am fasting for religious reasons.
- 28:41Speaker 3: It's a small amount of time that you're fasting.
- 28:44Speaker 4: We look at Ramadan, we look at other religions that
- 28:48Speaker 4: have a fasting protocol in it, and it's a very
- 28:52Speaker 4: short period of time. Ramadan's a month, but you're still eating, right,
- 28:57Speaker 4: You're eating not with circadian rhythm.
- 28:58Speaker 3: But it is.
- 29:01Speaker 4: An offshoot of being able to fuel the body. Like
- 29:04Speaker 4: I have athletes who follow Ramadan and we are able
- 29:08Speaker 4: to manipulate the fasting window and eating window with their
- 29:12Speaker 4: training so they're not compromising their training. I think that
- 29:15Speaker 4: becomes the confusion of well, you say no fasted training, correct,
- 29:21Speaker 4: Maybe we move your training so it falls into your
- 29:23Speaker 4: eating window when you're doing something like Ramadan.
- 29:25Speaker 2: So you're really fueling for the demand of the training session.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:29Speaker 1: And I think this conversation comes in when we look
- 29:31Speaker 1: at the protein amount that women need to get and.
- 29:34Speaker 2: We know that women coming in new to this.
- 29:40Speaker 1: High protein amount, it's overwhelming. So when we shorten that
- 29:45Speaker 1: eating window with say intermittent fasting, it makes it really
- 29:49Speaker 1: hard to protect that lean mass and get in the
- 29:53Speaker 1: number the grams of protein that we're recommending to them
- 29:56Speaker 1: in a day when you're only eating in a four
- 29:58Speaker 1: hour window.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:00Speaker 4: I had this conversation with Abby Smith Ryan who's been
- 30:03Speaker 4: on the podcast Good Friend. I know she's awesome, and
- 30:06Speaker 4: she's like, well, when we look at it from a
- 30:09Speaker 4: scientific point of view, we're reducing the eating opportunities for
- 30:13Speaker 4: women who already have a difficult time getting enough food
- 30:16Speaker 4: in because of the sociocultural confines of the diet culture,
- 30:21Speaker 4: and a lot of women will fall into something like
- 30:23Speaker 4: intermittent fasting because of the diet culture and the want
- 30:26Speaker 4: to to kind of fall into an ideal body composition
- 30:31Speaker 4: that they think they need to have, but they're fighting that, Like,
- 30:35Speaker 4: if you're not fueling your body, you're not going to
- 30:38Speaker 4: create any kind of change. So we look at eating
- 30:40Speaker 4: opportunities when you're restricting it down to that four or
- 30:44Speaker 4: six hours, Like you said, you're really restricting your body's
- 30:47Speaker 4: ability to get optimal nutrition. So you might be trying
- 30:53Speaker 4: to achieve a particular body composition, but you're compromising your
- 30:59Speaker 4: actual nutrition. You're looking at micronutrient deficiency, you're looking at
- 31:04Speaker 4: protein deficiency. For women who are trying to increase their
- 31:08Speaker 4: fiber intake, they might eat a lot of fiber and
- 31:12Speaker 4: not be full enough to fulfill their calorie needs. So
- 31:15Speaker 4: there's a lot of misconception that happens with the eating
- 31:19Speaker 4: windows because women are way more sensitive to low nutrient
- 31:25Speaker 4: intake than men's bodies. And that also isn't really discussed
- 31:30Speaker 4: when we're talking about intermitted fasting and where we're putting
- 31:34Speaker 4: our calories.
- 31:35Speaker 1: All right, so let's move on to jump training because
- 31:38Speaker 1: that's getting a lot of popularity right now, and I
- 31:42Speaker 1: know people will ask us is their jump training in
- 31:45Speaker 1: your programs, how does that contribute to our bone mass
- 31:49Speaker 1: and our bone help and what is your recommendation around
- 31:53Speaker 1: jump training?
- 31:55Speaker 4: So there's two ways of thinking about jump training. We
- 31:57Speaker 4: can think about our ballistic pliometric type movements, or we're
- 32:00Speaker 4: taught to land to absorb impact in our muscle right
- 32:05Speaker 4: with soft knees or really trying to absorb it through
- 32:09Speaker 4: our posture and not having a hard landing. That can
- 32:13Speaker 4: have some benefit for bone. But when we're talking about
- 32:16Speaker 4: jump training for a bone, we need to relearn how
- 32:19Speaker 4: that jump is. We're landing hard, we're absorbing the impact
- 32:24Speaker 4: through our skeletal system. So it's not a high jump,
- 32:27Speaker 4: it's not a ballistic type movement. And the reason for
- 32:30Speaker 4: that is we want multidirectional stress through the bone and
- 32:34Speaker 4: remembering that.
- 32:35Speaker 3: The body will morph.
- 32:37Speaker 4: With the movement, the ground doesn't, so we have ground
- 32:40Speaker 4: reaction forces.
- 32:41Speaker 3: We want a low jump, but a high.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Ground reaction force to create multidirectional stress within the bone
- 32:48Speaker 4: to improve bone density. So when we're looking at jump training, yeah,
- 32:52Speaker 4: any kind of jumping is great. If you're skipping rope,
- 32:55Speaker 4: you're doing box jumps, that is going to contribute to
- 32:58Speaker 4: bone health. If you're someone who's on the low end
- 33:01Speaker 4: of bone density, so you're not osteoporritic, you might be
- 33:06Speaker 4: just on the cusp of the old word osteopeniic, but
- 33:09Speaker 4: just low normal bone density, you will look at how
- 33:12Speaker 4: am I going to increase that ground reactive force. So,
- 33:16Speaker 4: I mean, I've talked about Tracy Klissel's app and it's
- 33:19Speaker 4: now available Osteo Gains, and it's ten minutes, three times
- 33:23Speaker 4: a week of the proper kind of jump for improving
- 33:26Speaker 4: bone density for women out there, Like, well, I thought just.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Any kind of jumping was good. Yes, keep doing it.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Any kind of jumping is good for the bones, just
- 33:35Speaker 4: like resistance training is good for the bones. But if
- 33:38Speaker 4: you are in the category where you really really need
- 33:40Speaker 4: to focus on building bone density, we have to look
- 33:43Speaker 4: at what kind of landing that we're doing to improve
- 33:47Speaker 4: that ground reaction in multidirectional stress in the bone.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Okay, final question here. I know we had talked about
- 33:54Speaker 1: this in our power program last month on one of
- 33:58Speaker 1: our calls where we brought up a female that had asked,
- 34:03Speaker 1: you know, I see these lean women in the gym
- 34:06Speaker 1: and they're all doing cardio, and so can we talk
- 34:09Speaker 1: about I know we don't like No one likes calling
- 34:12Speaker 1: it skinny fat. I think the proper term is normal
- 34:15Speaker 1: way obesity. But that's what it means. Most women will
- 34:18Speaker 1: know it as skinny fat. Can you describe if that's
- 34:22Speaker 1: new to someone listening, Can you describe what that is
- 34:25Speaker 1: and how we go about fixing that.
- 34:28Speaker 4: Yeah, so circopinia is the highly technical word for it,
- 34:33Speaker 4: which skinny fat, normal way to obc all THO, it's
- 34:37Speaker 4: when we're looking at the quality of the muscle. We're
- 34:41Speaker 4: seeing a lot of extra fat where the muscle should be.
- 34:45Speaker 4: So we look lean but we have a really high
- 34:48Speaker 4: percent body fat because we don't have as much lean
- 34:51Speaker 4: mass muscle mass, and we have lower gency in our bones.
- 34:56Speaker 4: And when we're looking at women who are so cardio driven,
- 34:59Speaker 4: because that's from the nineteen eighties and nineties mentality that's
- 35:02Speaker 4: been so thrown at us, we're looking at a high
- 35:06Speaker 4: stress catabolic state. When we're doing all of the cardio
- 35:11Speaker 4: catabolism means we're breaking down our lean mass. So when
- 35:15Speaker 4: I see women who are really lean and they're just
- 35:18Speaker 4: doing cardio, I think about, Okay, low bone density, bones
- 35:23Speaker 4: like chalk, and really low muscle quality. How do we
- 35:27Speaker 4: change that? Of course, strength training, right, that's the be
- 35:31Speaker 4: all end all for all women. Doesn't matter what age
- 35:33Speaker 4: you are, but it becomes more important as you age.
- 35:36Speaker 4: We need strength training across the board. So I'm really
- 35:39Speaker 4: happy that that conversation is changing the other's protein intake. So,
- 35:44Speaker 4: like Bill Campbell posted that study a few years ago
- 35:47Speaker 4: where they took an experimental group and a control group
- 35:52Speaker 4: of normal weight obese women who were all sedentary, did
- 35:57Speaker 4: not put them on any kind of exercise, just changed
- 36:00Speaker 4: the amount of protein that they were taking. So you know,
- 36:03Speaker 4: we have the control group that maintain their usual protein intake.
- 36:07Speaker 4: I think it ended up being zero point five grams
- 36:10Speaker 4: per pound of body weight, and for the experimental group
- 36:14Speaker 4: they boosted up to that one to one point one
- 36:17Speaker 4: grams per pound of body weight. Over the course of
- 36:19Speaker 4: twelve weeks, the people with a higher protein intake completely
- 36:23Speaker 4: recomp their body no exercise. So protein is really really important.
- 36:28Speaker 4: And that's the other conversation that's been left out of
- 36:31Speaker 4: the nutrition conversation till recently, which I think is why
- 36:34Speaker 4: women find putting protein is so difficult. So you've had
- 36:37Speaker 4: all these conversations about high fat, low fat, high carb
- 36:40Speaker 4: low carb, and what do we do with those macronutrients,
- 36:44Speaker 4: and no one's really talked about protein. So now when
- 36:46Speaker 4: we're looking at the recommended daily allowance for protein, it's
- 36:50Speaker 4: way too low because people don't realize that that is
- 36:54Speaker 4: the fair minimum to avoid malnutrition. So if you're an
- 36:58Speaker 4: active woman and of older women trying to build and
- 37:02Speaker 4: or maintain your lean mass, you have to boost that
- 37:05Speaker 4: protein intake up to we like that one gram per
- 37:08Speaker 4: pound of body weight, ideally higher, but starting with that
- 37:12Speaker 4: one gram per pound.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Well, and I mean it comes down to we had
- 37:16Speaker 1: this conversation as well with I think there was a
- 37:20Speaker 1: study that Abby Smith Ryan introduced me to from Don
- 37:24Speaker 1: Lahman's lab maybe about women older than sixty or individuals
- 37:28Speaker 1: over than sixty maybe.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Needing a little bit more protein than women that might
- 37:34Speaker 2: be in their thirties.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Yep.
- 37:36Speaker 4: And we look at that also with post exercise, right,
- 37:41Speaker 4: so we see that there's an anabolic resistance to protein
- 37:45Speaker 4: and exercise as you get older. For women it starts
- 37:48Speaker 4: around forty. For men it's mid fifties. So we do
- 37:51Speaker 4: know that there's a definite change in the trajectory of
- 37:55Speaker 4: aging for women versus men. So we need to get
- 37:58Speaker 4: that higher protein intake. When we're in our twenties and thirties,
- 38:03Speaker 4: we can look at one point six grams per kilogram
- 38:06Speaker 4: of body weight, so it's around that point eight gram
- 38:08Speaker 4: per pound, and that's a good enough, but as we
- 38:12Speaker 4: get older, we need to boost it because we have
- 38:14Speaker 4: to provide optimal protein, especially for women who are hitting perimenopause,
- 38:20Speaker 4: because there's a rapid signal to lose lean mass and
- 38:23Speaker 4: bone mass. Protein helps reduce that offshoot of losing lean
- 38:29Speaker 4: mass and bone and it also helps with cravings. I
- 38:32Speaker 4: get a lot of questions of why am I craving
- 38:35Speaker 4: sugar and carbohydrates so much like I'm putting weight on,
- 38:38Speaker 4: and all I can do is think about food, especially
- 38:40Speaker 4: carbohydrate food. It's called the protein leverage theory, where we
- 38:47Speaker 4: look at the degradation of lean mass and bone in
- 38:50Speaker 4: women who are perimenopausal and the high stress of cortisol
- 38:55Speaker 4: from being in a hormone shift, and the brain is
- 38:57Speaker 4: perceiving it as being tired. When the brain is tired,
- 39:01Speaker 4: it wants glucose, which makes you crave carbohydrate, but in
- 39:04Speaker 4: actuality you need more protein. So when women boost their
- 39:08Speaker 4: protein intake to that one point one or so grams
- 39:12Speaker 4: per pound, they're craving stuff because now their body is
- 39:16Speaker 4: getting optal amount amino acids to offset that rapid decrease
- 39:21Speaker 4: in lean mass and bone and also helps shut down
- 39:24Speaker 4: some of that cortisol stress from being sympathetically driven in
- 39:28Speaker 4: this hormone shift.
- 39:29Speaker 1: So another conversation than to really have here for someone
- 39:34Speaker 1: that might come. I'm anticipating the questions, you know, this
- 39:39Speaker 1: seems overwhelming to get this amount?
- 39:42Speaker 2: Would you step load them absolutely a.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Little bit and say, you know what if that doesn't
- 39:47Speaker 1: work for you and you can get at one hundred
- 39:50Speaker 1: grams instead of one hundred and twenty. If that is
- 39:53Speaker 1: your quality of life and you are eating much more
- 39:57Speaker 1: than you were, do what you can and then build
- 40:01Speaker 1: up from there.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, And we look at little hacks of how
- 40:05Speaker 4: do we increase our protein intake?
- 40:07Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, sure, share. So most women will.
- 40:10Speaker 4: Get up and have a hot drink, usually coffee, right,
- 40:13Speaker 4: So that's why I talk about protein coffee. It can't
- 40:16Speaker 4: be hot because if you stir protein powder into a
- 40:19Speaker 4: hot beverage, it glugs and scross. But if we're looking
- 40:22Speaker 4: at stirring protein powder into your cold milk of choice
- 40:26Speaker 4: and then adding your coffee and putting it in the
- 40:27Speaker 4: fridge overnight, you have a cold latte in the morning,
- 40:30Speaker 4: you drink it, you get your latte fix and thirty
- 40:33Speaker 4: grams of protein.
- 40:34Speaker 3: So you're starting today this is just.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Water but down there all right, we already had that one.
- 40:42Speaker 4: And then other women are like, well, I'm too full?
- 40:44Speaker 3: What do I do? It's like, well, you can split
- 40:46Speaker 3: your breakfast. Right.
- 40:47Speaker 4: So if you're looking at having eggs scrambled eggs on
- 40:51Speaker 4: sprouted grain toast, and you might have some nuts or
- 40:56Speaker 4: something with it, and you're looking at having a forty
- 40:58Speaker 4: gram protein meal, you can split it before and after training,
- 41:02Speaker 4: because then you're able to fuel your training. You're able
- 41:05Speaker 4: to have access to forty grams of protein, but you
- 41:08Speaker 4: don't get overly full. So there's lots of ways of
- 41:13Speaker 4: looking at what we're doing. It's the education component that
- 41:16Speaker 4: comes with it.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Okay, So what I'm hearing you say through all of
- 41:20Speaker 1: these questions is there aren't specific absolutes. There's always a
- 41:28Speaker 1: different situation that might someone might fall into. And the
- 41:32Speaker 1: purpose here again as we close out this wonderful podcast,
- 41:38Speaker 1: move do something that you love. Add in these strong
- 41:42Speaker 1: components of protein, high intensity interval training, heavy strength training.
- 41:48Speaker 2: But the heavy strength training, you know.
- 41:51Speaker 1: There's different ways that you can do that that's appropriate
- 41:54Speaker 1: for different women, and really just use these to improve
- 42:01Speaker 1: the quality of your life so that we are independent
- 42:04Speaker 1: and we are are living our best life independently and
- 42:10Speaker 1: through decades to come correct.
- 42:13Speaker 4: I love it because it's not a training block. We're
- 42:16Speaker 4: not in a short term training block for an event
- 42:19Speaker 4: that's six months away.
- 42:21Speaker 3: We're looking at.
- 42:22Speaker 4: How are we doing daily changes to be more powerful
- 42:27Speaker 4: and strong and independent as we age Training for life,
- 42:30Speaker 4: Training for life that's my new tagline.
- 42:34Speaker 2: We got it, we got it.
- 42:35Speaker 3: Training for Life.
