Ep.116: Fitness Research and Real Talk: Episode 4

In this episode, we unveil intriguing insights from recent research and delve into pivotal topics within the fitness and wellness sphere.

In the first segment, we uncover the significance of rest intervals for optimizing resistance training. Research from CUNY Lehman College explored rest intervals (1, 2, and 3 minutes) during resistance exercises. Segment 2 shifts focus to the dangers of overhydration. In the third segment, we explore fitness preferences, challenging the notion that gym-based training is superior.

Join us for thought-provoking discussions on optimizing workouts, mitigating overhydration, and debunking home workout myths. Whether you're an enthusiast or a fitness professional, these insights offer valuable perspectives to enrich your journey or your client's experiences.
