INTENSITY is what drives our progress and results.

How heavy were your weights, how many reps did you do, how long did it take you?

These are all direct expressions of our intensity (or power).

This is also why your coach (wink wink) asks to see these metrics and wants you to keep track as well.

What results are we shooting for?

Well, what are your goals? Are you looking for changes to your body composition? Are you training for an event? Are you trying to run a 5 minute mile?

Adding intensity to your workouts is what will move you closer and closer to that goal.

Today we’re talking micronutrients.

You already know all about macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) so if you’ve ever wondered why we say you also need to consider your micronutrients to maintain your health… wonder no more!

We need micronutrients to keep us healthy, to keep our systems functioning properly, and for our body to do a bunch of other tasks that we don’t even know are going on. So sit back, relax, and grab a bowl of liver and mushrooms (you’ll see why in a bit) and read up.

Moving makes you body and your brain function better.

You know what moving also helps? Your metabolism!

If you’re over 25… your metabolic power is decreasing by about 3-5% every decade. The main reason for this is the loss of lean body mass. Bone and muscle are so metabolically active that a drop is your metabolism could largely be due to a drop in your lean body mass as you age.

We don’t want that to happen!

If you keep, or even improve, your lean body mass from the age of 25 to 35 to 45… guess what your metabolism doesn’t do as much of… drop!
