1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted. I'm Tom holland let's talk about HIT, 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training. Many you have heard about it, 4 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: read about it, your friends are probably talking about it, 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: and for most of you, I'm sure you're confused about it. 6 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: And that's what today shows about. And I have the 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: perfect guest to talk about it because she's done research 8 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: on it, and that's who I bring you, the best 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: of the best, PhD level Dr Michelle Olsen, Senior Clinical 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: Professor of Exercise Physiology, and she has done the research 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: on exactly what we're going to talk about. So there's 12 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training HIT all over the news the 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: articles on exercise and for good reason, and there's a 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: lot of research into it, and we'll talk about at 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: But it's not at all in nothing principle either. That's 16 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: super important, pretty much what I talked about on just 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: about every show. It's not at all or nothing yet 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: another tool type of exercise for you to do and 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: when you should do it, and why you should do 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: it and what you get out of it is what 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: she and I will talk about today. High Intensity interval 22 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: training HIT h I I T. You're reading all about it, 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: you're seeing it everywhere, been around forever, and we're going 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: to talk about why and really popular now now the 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: opposite of that, and there is an acronym for it. 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: You don't see it as as frequently l I S S. 27 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Low intensity steady state also goes by a couple other things, 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: but I liked low intensity steady state. So that's what 29 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: most people do, low intensity steady state. And that's a 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: longer workout the low intensity, and that's okay. There's a 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: time and a place for that. It's not all or nothing. 32 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: It's all of the above, mixed up done consistently. There 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: are the days you want to do steady state, lower intensity, 34 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: there are days you want to go higher intensity. Your 35 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: body gets benefits and different benefits from both. And no 36 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: matter how healthy or powerful or effective a mode of 37 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: exercise is, if you only do that mode, you will 38 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: run into problems. You will get injured. For the most part, 39 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: If you just run, you're gonna have problems. If you 40 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: just swim, you're most likely gonna have problems over time, 41 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: because repetitive motions done over and over and over again 42 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: leads to imbalances leads to issues, and that's why we 43 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: mix it up. So we're gonna talk about hit and 44 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: the value, and I say, well, when should you do it? 45 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: Here's the quick to get right to the point. It's 46 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: a time issue, right, if you have less time, it's 47 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: a great time to do high intensity inrbal training because 48 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: you don't and can't. And we we'll talk about this 49 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: because I've had instructors try to do basically long crazy 50 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: high intensity inrival training. That's the definition is that it's 51 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: shorter if you're going hard enough. You can't and don't 52 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: and shouldn't do it for an extended duration. And without 53 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: naming the really popular exercise program DVD program that was 54 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: on TV for years, I loved when I first saw 55 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: the commercial, it said traditional interval training has short periods 56 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: of hard work followed by long periods of rest. We 57 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: flipped that on its head. We do long periods of 58 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: hard work followed by short periods of reast. Well, guess what, 59 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: over time, that's not interval training, not for most people, 60 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: because you can't keep your heart rate up that high 61 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: that long when you go that hard for those long durations. 62 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: Some people can, but not that way. And so you're 63 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: just hanging on and you're you're trying not to get injured, 64 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: and you're trying to to just survive. But that's not 65 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: the way for most people to do it, and that's 66 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: not the science. It's short, hard followed by longer periods 67 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: of rest, and you can manipulate those rest intervals. That's 68 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: what a great coach does, great trainer, But you have 69 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: to know the science, and you don't and can't do 70 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: it all the time, not for an extended period of time. 71 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: You need both, you need both, and it all goes 72 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: to the gray zone, right. Most people exercise do cardio 73 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: in the gray zones. Not really hard, it's not really easy, 74 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: and there's value to that, but over time you don't 75 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: get the results you want, especially the calorie burn. So 76 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: this is why mixing it up with steady state interval 77 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: or steady state workouts and hit workouts, different intensities, that's 78 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: where true change, that's where true health and wellness comes from. 79 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: And it's more fun. For Pete's sake, Holy cow, do 80 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: you really just want to do low intensity steady state. 81 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: If you do, God bless you, keep doing it and 82 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna get benefit. It's not what you normally hear 83 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: people poo poo some type of of of modality. There's 84 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: benefit to all of it. All exercise matters. But I 85 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: want you to get the most out of your time, 86 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and that's what HIT does. That's why it's so popular 87 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: is you get a lot, You get good, great results 88 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: in a short amount of time, which is what most 89 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: people want. That's my job as an exercise physiologist, as 90 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: an author, as a fitness person to tell you how 91 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: to get the greatest results in the shortest amount of time. 92 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: But I always qualify it because it has to be 93 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: or should be. Many fitness professional don't qualify with with 94 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: the least likelihood of injury. And there in lies the rub. Sure, 95 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: you can do HIT all day long, you can do 96 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: poly metrics, you can jump up and down on a box. 97 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Are you gonna get hurt if that's all you do 98 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: all the time? And truthfully, I contributed to an article 99 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: not too long ago they said, if you're doing HIT 100 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: every day, super you're not doing it hard enough because 101 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to recover, You're gonna need to rest, 102 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: and you're gonna need to mix it up. Not right away. 103 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: Many people will get away with it for a extended 104 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: period of time, but over time there's diminishing returns, and 105 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: over time there are issues and injuries and problems. The 106 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: good news is you can and should mix it up 107 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training, and some of you are gonna 108 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: love that and some of you aren't. And a lot 109 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: of it comes down to genetics fast twitch versus slow 110 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: twitch muscle fibers. Are you an endurance person or are 111 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: you a sprinter? A lot of that is genetic, it's 112 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: somewhat trainable. That's a topic for another show. Can you 113 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: go from being a fast twitch to a slow twitch 114 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: person or vice versa? And some people are both. You know, 115 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: you've got the runners, the triathletes, those type of athletes 116 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: who can be darn fast short and can go long 117 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: and and and be fast at the longer distances as well. 118 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: Swimmers generally rare the higher level you get, but but 119 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: those people exist. But again, it comes down to like 120 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: and dislike to There's some people who just love that 121 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: that lactic acid feeling, that high intensity workout, and there's 122 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: other people that go listen, I'm an endurance guy. I 123 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: love long, slow, sweaty, drawn out workouts. That's why I 124 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: love iron man, I love ultra marathons and marathons. It's 125 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: not who goes the fastest, who slows down the least, 126 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: love it all right, but that's a personal thing. So 127 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: I forced myself to do the intervals because I know 128 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: that I need to. It will make me healthier. I 129 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: need to mix it up. And at the end of 130 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: all the workouts, as we all know, you feel good, 131 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: especially the stuff that you didn't want to do at 132 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: the start. It's the way the world works, all right, 133 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training. After the break, we're gonna have 134 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: the person that we want to talk to about this, 135 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 1: Dr Michelle Olsen. She is awesome. She is one of 136 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: those people typical guests that I have on. Not only 137 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: does she have the education and expertise, she's done videos, 138 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: she walks the walk as well, and that's super important. 139 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: So when we come back from the break, yes, my 140 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: guest will be Dr Michelle Olson. We will be right 141 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: back and we are back talking all about high intensity 142 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: interval training. And like so many things in fitness, you've 143 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 1: read about it, you've heard about it, you think you 144 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: probably know what it is, but I'm sure many of 145 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: you are confused, and there's just a lot of people 146 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: out there doing it wrong. There's instructors doing it wrong, 147 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: and there's science behind it. So I have the perfect 148 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: guest to clarify. She's done the research on it, she 149 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: continues to do the research, and as I said in 150 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: my intro, she walks the walk. She's been in this 151 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: industry a really long time. I interviewed her a couple 152 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: of years back, so excited to speak with you again. 153 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Dr Michelle Olsen want to give you her quick bio 154 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: uh and I had to truncate it as I do 155 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: for our guests because they're they're so long, and which 156 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: is awesome because you want the experts. Dr Michelle Olsen 157 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: is a senior clinical professor of Exercise Physiology in the 158 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: Department of Sports Science at Huntington's College. Prior to that, 159 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: she was a full professor of kinesiology at a u M. 160 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: She has known internationally as the exercise doctor, and I 161 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: love that because you know, the doctor who prescribes exercises medicine. Right. 162 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: Her areas of expertise are are vast, but she really 163 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: specializes in abdominal exercise and pilates energetics and metabolic responses 164 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: to exercise and that's super important and that's that's why 165 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: she's here spinning, pilates, kettle bells, tobada and interval training. 166 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about those final two.

Dr Olson. Right. 181 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: The there's so much bad information and you know, with 182 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: the good comes to bat Right, there's so much out 183 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: there thanks to technology and the Internet, but there's so 184 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: much bad information out there right, including about interval training 185 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: and tobata and everything like that. Yes, absolutely, and as 186 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: we know, you know, it can create confusion for the 187 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: sumer consumer excuse me, can create confusion for the consumer, 188 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: and then it becomes overwhelming. And then we you know, 189 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: don't want people to feel like it's so complicated that 190 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: ah you know, I just I just don't know if 191 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: this is all, you know, really worth doing when when 192 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: in in truth and in fact um by you doing 193 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: and delivering and sharing um information that's accurate. Uh, it 194 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: really it really can be simple. It really can be simple. 195 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: And I know that's your your goal and mind to 196 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: make it simple, make it accessible, and if somebody's going 197 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: to do it, to be doing it the best we 198 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: know how they should do it to get the benefits 199 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: and avoid injuries and excessive aches and pains and so on. 200 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: I love it and that's why we we enjoy speaking 201 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: so much. And and that's it's interesting, doctor Olsen, because 202 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: the criticisms, one of the common criticisms of my books 203 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: and even some of the initial podcasts are it's too basic, 204 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: it's too simple, as you just said, and that's what works. 205 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: Like you and I could really impress people with you know, 206 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: big words and fancy terms and and we could take 207 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: you know one and say this is the only way 208 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: to do it, as so many fitness people do. But 209 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: as you and I know, that is not the long 210 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: term solution. As you said, it is the easy, easy, 211 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: a stuff, the simple stuff done consistently, you know, absolutely, 212 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: And you know if you look at things like the 213 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: National Weight Loss Registry, and those are individuals, for example, 214 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: who have um lost weight, they've kept off a substantial 215 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: amount of weight for over three years, and um, it's 216 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: real people, real information, real data, we call it. You know, 217 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: they are doing their cardio you know, thirty to forty 218 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: five minutes a week. They are understanding what food groups 219 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: to eat, they understand the basics of resistance training, and 220 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: they've just been doing it for the long haul. And 221 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: you can and you know, you look at information like that, 222 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: it's ABC. It really is. It's ABC that if somebody 223 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: wants to tell you it's you know, the French language 224 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: or something. Um, you know, I I don't know. I 225 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: can't speak French. I mean I would be in trouble. Right. 226 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: I love that you said that, because finness disrupted. I 227 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: have the top guests like you PhD researchers. But what 228 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: I also have is exactly what you just said. And 229 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: we did a show not too long ago, dr Olson, 230 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: with a guy who I met years ago, and he 231 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: just exemplified everything you just said. He lost a hundred 232 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: and sixty pounds. He's kept it off for ten years. 233 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: And the great news is he didn't diet, he didn't 234 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: do anything weird. He took what I called there's are 235 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: are no small steps, but the takeaways from his show 236 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: and how he did it should be so exciting for people. 237 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: But again, as you just said, it was the small steps. 238 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: There was nothing fancy, there was nothing french. It was 239 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: small steps done over time. And that's great news for people. 240 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: It's great news. It's great news because it's double and 241 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: it and it works in our bodies are well equipped 242 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: at pretty much any weight to uh, you know, engage 243 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: in in fitness. And if we just learned to drink 244 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: our water and you know, avoid some processed foods, you know, 245 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: the weight it's going to naturally fall off and our 246 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: health is going to improve. And it and and and 247 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: it really it really should not be complicated and and 248 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: and it does not have to be and what what 249 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: works is you know, gosh, we are six made of water. Well, 250 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: my goodness, one of the most important nutrients in the 251 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: day every day is water. If you feel a little 252 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: sluggish and you think, wow, I just ate lunch an 253 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: hour ago, maybe you're under hydrated. That's something where people 254 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: confuse hunger when it's really water. So if we just 255 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: would sleep better and drink water and think about getting 256 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: out and taking a walk, that's going to check off 257 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: so many boxes in terms of improving our health and 258 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: helping us to get us fit. And who really doesn't 259 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: want to do that exactly? I love that and it's 260 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: it's it's it's simple, it's doable, and people just need 261 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: to to start to embrace that. And that's that's what 262 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: my new books about. That's what this shows about, and 263 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: that's why I bring people on like you and I 264 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: get so excited to have you know, someone who has 265 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: spent the better part of her life right researching, studying, 266 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: and then coming back saying, hey, sleep, drink water, eat 267 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: whole foods. Right. So well, let's let's clarify. So you 268 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: and I the ultimate or one of our jobs if 269 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: we're working with people is to get them the greatest 270 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: results in the shortest amount of time, and then I 271 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: always qualify it with the least likelihood of injury, right, 272 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: and yeah, and and and people have read about high 273 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: intensit arival training. I started the show Dr Olson by saying, 274 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm an endurance guy. I hate intervals. They hurt. Uh 275 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: So there you know, But that's why I do them 276 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: because I know how how you know? And I don't 277 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: do them all the time. So I started off by saying, 278 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: for me, high intensity interval training it comes down to time, right. 279 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: So if I have less time to exercise, that's my 280 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: interval workout. Right. If I have longer and I want 281 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: to kind of just forget about, you know things and 282 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: go on a long walk or bike ride or run, 283 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: then that's my low intensity, steady state. So let's just clarify, 284 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: tell people what the definition of high intensity interval training is. Yeah, okay, great, Yes, 285 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: I love this topic. There's really um and again, not 286 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: to be complicated, there's basically three forms of interval training. 287 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,359 Speaker 1: UM one is to take traditional cardio of astro exercise 288 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: activities treadmill jogging and walking using the step or walking 289 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: outside using an elliptical UM swimming where you get into 290 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: your target heart rate zone maybe you know, uh sixty 291 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: percent or so of your maximum heart rate, and you 292 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: may do something for thirty seconds at that higher heart 293 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: rate and then spend thirty seconds at a lower heart rate, 294 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: going a little slower, and and we we repeat this 295 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: and we stay in that traditional aerobic exercise zone. And 296 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: that is interval training, and then more specifically that's a 297 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: roombek interval training, and that that definitely can be a 298 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: time saver because for every thirty seconds you allow yourself 299 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: a bit of recovery, the next thirty seconds you put 300 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: out more intensity than you would typically be doing if 301 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: you were just doing it straight out at one heart rate. 302 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: So it's it's very efficient. Um. Then on the far 303 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: end of the spectrum, there is what called SIT supra 304 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: intensity training, and this is where Dr Tivata and some 305 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: of the scientists, that's where they kind of came into 306 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: the picture five or six years ago. And I really 307 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: want to be clear that they got amazing results in 308 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, with these speed skating athletes from Japan doing 309 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: these four minute intervals, but it was one anaerobic tom 310 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: they were their b O two max. They had to 311 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: be on special machines to push them beyond their normal 312 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: maximum for twenty seconds, they would get a brief recovery 313 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: for ten twenty seconds of brief recovery. And speed skaters 314 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: are high and non aerobic anaerobic athletes. So in the 315 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: middle of that, which is a great thing, we have 316 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: high intensity interval training where we can choose a lot 317 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: of the cardio activities we would use for less intense 318 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: aerobic training, but we can yank it up a little higher, 319 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: get our heart rate up higher, do something like the 320 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: Tiboda time increments twenty minutes, just really going all out 321 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: with the shorter rest period. Now we're going to approach 322 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: maybe our maximum heart rate, but we're not going to 323 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: be going as intensely as Dr Tibata had those athletes going. 324 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get some nice results, but some of 325 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: the things that might confuse us, like improving our fitness 326 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: by in six weeks, which is what Dr Tibada's athletes did, 327 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: we're not quite doing it that way. It's a modification, 328 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: and so we're doing Tiboda style intervals at a higher 329 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: intensity exercise heart rate maybe eighty five even nine of 330 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: your max, and that makes the workout short. So we've 331 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: got aerobic interval training at a lower percent of heart 332 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: rate max, picking it up, slowing down things that athletes 333 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: do way out on the other end of the spectrum. 334 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: And then in the middle of that is this this 335 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: HIT training more intense than traditional interval training, not truly 336 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: to Dr Tibata level. And it really you just need 337 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: to have a timer and if you've got a decent 338 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: heart rate monitor, um, if you want to really do HIT, 339 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to push your heart rate up more 340 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: to that level. Um. And that's just the truth, you know, 341 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: whether you like you said, you want to work out 342 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: that hard or not. The trade off is though the 343 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: intervals are pretty short round twenty seconds and instead of 344 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: having to spend twenty minutes, you can get a lot 345 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: out of it in five, seven, eight, ten minutes. I 346 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: love it. That would that was you never hear those 347 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: three definitions, Dr Rolson, So oh my gosh, everybody that 348 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: right there. So you have interval training lower where you're 349 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: varying the speed but or not an intensity, but you're 350 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: not pushing it too hard, but that there's value to that. 351 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: You're gonna burn a couple of more calories and you're 352 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna get different health benefits from that. And then I 353 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: love that you went immediately to the the higher end 354 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: of the spectrum, the highest and to bottle workouts. And 355 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that real quickly in a second. But 356 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy cent right of v O two max. 357 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: That is so hard, like who you know, but that's 358 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: what they did. And then you you put in the 359 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: middle what people most people are gonna do, not most people, 360 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: but uh higher intensity not a D seventy. So in 361 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: other words, there are three levels. And what I was saying, 362 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Dr Olson is, you know, most people for the most 363 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: part exercising that gray zone that we talked about. It's 364 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: not really hard, it's not really easy. There's benefit, but 365 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: over time, if you're trying to lose weight and you 366 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: want to mix it up, and that's the great news. 367 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: So Dr Olson just gave you and you should. I 368 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: would do all three kinds depending on your mood the 369 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: time you have the well the V too mex. Most 370 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: people aren't gonna get there. Um And that's actually Dr Olson. 371 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: I started. You remember, and I didn't name the DVD program, 372 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: but you would know. And the commercial was you know, 373 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: traditional interval training is short periods of hard effort followed 374 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: by long periods of rest. We flipped that on its 375 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: head and well that's not traditional interval training. Once you 376 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: start going, you know, all out, you can't stay up 377 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: there that long. You know the vast majority of people. Um. 378 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: So that's super helpful. And let me just say to 379 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: doctor Olds and I did a I took a spin class. 380 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I got invited to a group fitness group cycling class 381 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: and we did. They said it was Tobada, and I thought, 382 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: this is gonna be interesting. We literally did twenty on 383 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: ten seconds off for the entire hour m not four minutes. 384 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: It was a little right. There was no way you 385 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: could have been um. And again this is not good 386 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: or bad. These are just facts. There's no way that 387 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: you could have You can be going on maximum effort 388 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: every twenty seconds if you are doing a thirty or 389 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: forty minute worked out. And and it doesn't mean that 390 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: that workout wasn't awesome. It was some form of interval training. Um. 391 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: But you know the Tavada athletes, these Japanese Olympic trained athletes, 392 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: they were asked to do this for eight rounds, which 393 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: is would aggregate to four total minutes. There were many athletes, 394 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: as I know, you know within reading the original paper, 395 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: they could not they could not go the full eight rounds. 396 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: Many only went six to seven. So some of those 397 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: high end Olympic athletes, maybe we're doing, um, three minutes. 398 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, amazing results. However, Um, this is where I 399 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: get work. This is an area where I get worried. 400 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: Somebody we're saying, I'm going to a tabada class, so goodness. 401 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: You know I've been told that in you know, uh 402 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: flourida eight weeks, I'm gonna get at improvement in my 403 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: cardio fitness. You know, my body fat's gonna go down 404 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: about ten my this my resting metabolic rate is gonna 405 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: go through the roof. Um, that's not that's really not 406 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: gonna happen because we really can't do on our own 407 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: actual tibada training. We can do hit training and we 408 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: can get seventy of those kinds of things. Um. And 409 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: that's that's where the reality is. And you hate to 410 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: see somebody disappointed that there didn't improve in their cardio 411 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: fitness after eight weeks, when in fact they really weren't 412 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: doing sit training. They were doing hit or some kind 413 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: of modified form of HIT and they are in so 414 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: much better shape than if they would have done the 415 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: traditional moderate intensity stay at the same exact heart rate. 416 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: They're getting benefits beyond that, but they may not see 417 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: it because they're comparing their results to a research study 418 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: that has gone out in advertising stating that any kind 419 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: of terrible trainings to badacus. I'm like those results a lot. 420 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't like. Now. I knew That's why I knew 421 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: you would have the reaction you had. And that's you know, 422 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: everything is to bada now. And again we you and 423 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: I want people to exercise and there's no you know, 424 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: there's no downside to people doing it. It's just again 425 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: to bada in its traditional. That's traditional in the most 426 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: pure sense based on the research is what you just describe. Um, 427 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: but now we have every class, right Dr Olson where 428 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: it's twenty second, which is fine. But again that's why 429 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: I had Dr Olson on is to clarify and to 430 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: have those three different ways to do it is just phenomenal. 431 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: And let's go one step further. Um, you know you 432 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: can manipulate and you and I have written about this, 433 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: are contributed to articles for how long about the work 434 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: to rest intervals. So generally for a lot of people, 435 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one to three. Right, So if you 436 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: go hard for twenty seconds, recover for like sixty right, 437 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: depending on the type of cardio you're doing, right, right, 438 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: exactly right? That more intense it's usually and uh and 439 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: and research supported is that your recovery intervals are actually 440 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: going to be longer than your exercise or your intensity intervals. 441 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, so you you might do twenty seconds, um, 442 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: really hard. Look at that heart rate monitor, get up 443 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: to your heart rate max. And then if you did 444 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: twenty seconds, right, you may be taking forty seconds, double 445 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: that or even even triple that. And that can that 446 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: can work. If you get the proper rest, you're able 447 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: to go and do that next intense round at that 448 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: same level. You don't want to put yourself in a 449 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: situation where every time you go to try to do around, 450 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: you're getting more and more tired, and you've only done 451 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: three rounds. Right, and we're talking about specific stuff, right, 452 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: I should have qualified that, But just for those people, 453 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you could be a runners trying to get faster. 454 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: As Dr Rolson was talking about, you know, performance improvement 455 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: is what we're talking about here for the most part, 456 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: but it's just another way to vary. It obviously depends 457 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: on your fitness level and your goals and you know 458 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the the uh what you really want out of that 459 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: workout specifically. But the point is you need to recover. 460 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: So if you're going hard enough, right Dr Rolson, it's 461 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: about go go easy, go super hard for those type 462 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: of intervals. Again, there's different types, um, but recover recover. 463 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: If you watch a guy someone at the track, you know, 464 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: a female track runners, she's going to maybe do a 465 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 1: four hundred and then walk it right, so you know 466 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: of one to three, one to four, one to five. 467 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: So recoveries okay and necessary quite often. Absolutely, it is 468 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: absolutely necessary. And um, back in the day, so to speak, 469 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: one of an early study that I did it, I 470 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: was just interested in things like, UM, mood state, UH state, anxiety, UM, 471 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: just normal normal, the normal feeling of the blues that 472 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: some of us have. And I just wondered, if you know, 473 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: if there was a form of exercise that might just 474 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: after one bout of it really kind of improve your mood. 475 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: We always say it does, but nobody has really measured it. 476 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: And UM, here's here's what I did real Simply, I 477 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: did a regular uh, twenty minute cardio work out at 478 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: the moderate intensity level, and then the same group a 479 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: few days later did an interval training exercise work out 480 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: where you know, it was like thirty seconds of intense 481 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: and then sixty seconds of less intense. And then the 482 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: last bout I did as a maximum exercise effort. They 483 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: were on the treadmill and we just like a max 484 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: FEO two tests, just maxim out over about an eight 485 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: minute period. But I checked mood state after all of 486 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: these types of exercises, and UM, it was. It was interesting, 487 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: and this is why we love research. You just never 488 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: know sometimes what you're gonna find. The moderate intensity, steady 489 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: state exercise improved mood state. It helped decreased feelings of 490 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: anxiousness that we all have in this busy world. It 491 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: did a really nice job. The intervals, which were aerobic intervals, 492 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: UM did all of that but more, and then the 493 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: exercise about to max where you had no rest, actually 494 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: decreased mood state there. So there you go. You know, 495 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: you've got to have that recovery. And we theorized that 496 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: probably one of the reasons that the interval group surpassed 497 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: the other two groups on these mood state measures. Is 498 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: because you do get a break and you're you're you're like, okay, 499 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: I can I gotta break here so I can get 500 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: ready for the next round, or when you're going, oh 501 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: my gosh, I have ten seconds left, you're thinking, yes, 502 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: but I get recovery so that it's not so taxing 503 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: on your your that that that effort level thought that 504 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: you have to have. And yet at the same time, 505 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: you probably are boosting your indoor finds a little higher 506 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: than just steady state, and you know, your growth hormone 507 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: on all of those things that really you know, can 508 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: help enhance your muscle. So um, but right, we theorized 509 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: that it was the recovery portion that maybe was the 510 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: key factor responsible for the greatest mood greatest increase in 511 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: mood state. That is so interesting and I yeah, I mean, 512 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I hate going to the track 513 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: is it hurts as a as an endurance person when 514 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: I tell myself, Okay, you know, I'm going to do 515 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: the shorter in a role with the longer recovery. As 516 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: you're saying, absolutely, and I've always said that's the you know, 517 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: the problem with a bad trainer or coaches when they don't. 518 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to kill someone. It's a easy 519 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: to say do a hundred burpees or underpush like there 520 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: take that's no uh skill whatsoever. So allowing people to 521 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: recover and and everyone listening again, this is great news. 522 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: Is go hard for a short amount of time, recover, 523 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: repeat that and that. I say it all the time, 524 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: doctor Gels, And I now exercise for my sanity, not 525 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: my vanity. And that's one of the reasons I enjoy 526 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: those intervals. Absolutely yes, absolutely right. And this makes me 527 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: think back to one of the first interval training UM 528 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: studies pubs back in the early nineties. And this was 529 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: done with individuals who were overweight and or you know, 530 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: clinically obese, medically obese and um it. This was a 531 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: one to three ratio. It was thirty minutes. They were 532 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: on cycles, the cycle ergometers, but you know the kind 533 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: of like the spin bikes that have you know, the 534 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: little different outs for the scientists. But anyway, they were 535 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: supposed to really you know, ramp it up to pretty 536 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: high in tan city level at you know, X y 537 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: z heart rate and then they had nineties seconds. It 538 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: was thirty and ninety. They made sure that those study 539 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: participants had more than a reasonable amount of recovery. Um, 540 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, because they knew, you know, it's so hard 541 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: to go right back up to that peak level if 542 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: you're not given the appropriate amount of rest. And this 543 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: they they they're exercise sessions were twenty minutes, I believe, 544 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: And they had a match group that did double the 545 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: amount of time. In the group that did half the time, 546 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: that did the intervals appropriately you know, lost the body 547 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: fat in that abdominal area that's tough to lose in 548 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: like the fhemeral gluteal area. Um. But it was a 549 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: it was a one to three traditional format exactly like 550 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: you're describing, and you went there. I was gonna avoid 551 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: it for for nav But that's what's so exciting too. 552 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: So one of the benefits of interval training that the 553 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: studies are starting to show is that it does deal 554 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: with that abdominal fat in in a unique way. Right. Yes, Yes, 555 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: there's there's been you know, a handful of good studies 556 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: done where basically what we just you know described, one 557 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: group does half the amount of time, but it's an 558 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: it's an interval interval workout. The other group. It usually 559 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: takes about double the length of time to match UM, 560 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: to match the effort put out, the work put you know, 561 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: the work that's put out. And in these studies that 562 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: where they have individuals who are over overweighth uh and 563 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: even again medically obese, it's you know, it's the group 564 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: who does half the length of time who tends to 565 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: get the superior results. But they are doing interval training 566 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: and UM. You know you and I know this um. 567 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: One of the key hormones that has to be kicking 568 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: out in our bodies to get our heart rate elevated 569 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: is a is adrenaline or you know, now more people 570 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: know the term nor epinephrin, nor epinephrin or nor adrenaline. 571 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: And what when your heart rates really high, that hormone 572 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: really comes out there to support the heart. It cannot 573 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: rise to a super high heart rate without that neural 574 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: hormone kicking in. It's like the special juice that makes 575 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: the heart fly. And it guess what, it has a 576 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: wonderful unanticipated um um effect and that is is it 577 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: starts floating around the fat cells in those hard to 578 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: lose fat areas and it has a wonderful way of 579 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: knocking on the fat cell and saying hello, nor ethanephron here, please, 580 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: you've got to release some free fatty acids. So it's 581 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: what happens like neural hormonally when you do intervals that 582 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: does have a different effect on how your fat behaves 583 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: than doing the same calorie workout UH steady state for 584 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: twice a length of time. Oh my gosh, such great 585 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: news for people. So I hope you understood what she 586 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: just said that Dr Olsen just said that doing interval 587 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: training has a unique uh biochemical reaction that studies are 588 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: starting to show target that hard to get abdominal area 589 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: and you can't spot reduce you know, we we've talked 590 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: about that. But here is a way that just shows 591 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: you when you have less time and when you are 592 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: gonna push those intervals, there is a benefit. You're gonna 593 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: burn more cows, You're gonna burn some of that that 594 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: fact that that you know so many people want to 595 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: get to and there's the science behind it. So what 596 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: a perfect way. I don't want to give too much, 597 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, confuse people too much, So let's end with this. 598 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: So you want to do your steady state, you want 599 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: to do your interval training. You want to mix it 600 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: up and and keep your body healthy and and your mind, 601 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, excited about your workouts. And as Dr Olson 602 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: just said, a short amount of time, that's a great 603 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: time to do interval training. If you have a little 604 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: bit longer, mix it up, you know, do some steady state. 605 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: There's different things that happen then, and let's give them that, 606 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 1: right Dr Olson. We you did define the three different levels. 607 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: But for most people, if they're doing like the elipt 608 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: goal or the bike or the rower, I say let's 609 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: stick with that thirty on sixty recovery interval, right for 610 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: for the vast majority of people, Yes, you know, absolutely 611 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: keep it simple. There are the different styles. There's three 612 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: main styles. Those are simple. Um the you know, you 613 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: may vary the length of time, like you were saying, 614 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: we may go twenty seconds and then sixty seconds of rest. 615 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: You may get your heart rate a little higher. You know, 616 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 1: it's all on a continuum. It's all good. You're talking 617 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: about steady state exercise. You know what we consider our 618 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: moderate intensity baseline cardio stuff that we do on the 619 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: Chaine steppers, treadmills in a step class. There is so 620 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: much research, so many decades of research about how you 621 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: cannot go wrong doing that kind of exercise. Our heart 622 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: help is the most important thing. It's what we are 623 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: most all likely to die from at a young age, 624 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: including you and me. That's what we're most susceptible to. 625 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: And that good, steady a cardio activity really helps the heart. 626 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: If you have other goals you want to improve, change, 627 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: cut back on time you do, you have these you know, 628 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 1: interval styles that you you know that you can choose from. 629 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: It's such a great way to end And I talk 630 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: frequently Dr Olson about you know, drives me up the wall. 631 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: Probably you as well when you read about these celebrities 632 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: or quote unquote influencers who say, uh, I weigh this 633 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: weight and I don't do any cardio whatsoever, and you go, 634 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: good for you. Um, your heart is a muscle. What 635 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: your number on the scale or the way you look, uh, 636 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: is not really what's important at the end of the day, right, 637 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: It's that heart health that you just said. So cardio 638 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: is really important, you know, getting our our lungs and 639 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: body moving. You should do it and do it frequently. 640 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely perfect, perfect, absolutely, yeah, well, thank you so much. 641 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this was exactly perfect. That you you exceeded 642 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: the three different ways. Uh for people to understand the 643 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: interval training. Now they know, Uh, that's pretty much when 644 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: it comes to interval training. Dr Olson just clarified it 645 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: as as perfectly as can be, so you can use 646 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: that in your uh you know, exercise arsenal of cardiovascar. 647 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: Thank you training. Thank you so much, Dr Olson. I 648 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: could do five hours with you and we have to 649 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: do it again, um because we can go deeper.

You can make 676 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: it complicated, but but you know, you and I we 677 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: take stuff that's complicated and we simplified ourselves. You know. 678 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: Our goal is to help people look better, feel better, 679 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: live longer, and we could you know again, do what 680 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: you just said. But the goal is to actually help people. 681 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: And oftentimes we're criticized for maybe being too simple, but 682 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: but simple works. As we started this show by saying 683 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: and I tell you if you do what Dr Olson 684 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: just said, and let's give you the takeaway here. Five 685 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: minute warm up right, then go thirty seconds of of 686 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: push that push, that intensity, whatever cardio you're doing, sixty 687 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: seconds recovery. Do that for ten minutes or so, and 688 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: then finished with a five minute cool down. There's your 689 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: perfect twenty minute workout, right, Dr Olson, or one of 690 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: them at least.

Let's talk deodorant. I am 693 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 1: someone who sweats. I've talked about it in previous shows. 694 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: Not something you want to hear a lot about, which 695 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: is why I'm constantly looking for the best products. And 696 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: it goes for my entire life. Like I went the healthiest, 697 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: most natural, whenever possible products that also work, and that's 698 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: super important, right. They can't just be natural. They gotta work, 699 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to deodorant. And a couple of 700 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: years ago I made the switch from antiperspirant Deodan to 701 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: just deodorant. I don't need the antiperspirant aspects were actually 702 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: making me sweat, I found out counterintuitive, but that's my experience. 703 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: So I use Native Deodorant and I love it for 704 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: many reasons.

All right, what great information Dr 735 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: Michelle Olson. Wow. You know, if you had any questions 736 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: about interval training and the way she described it and 737 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: and clarified it, the three different types. Like, to be honest, 738 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: I've never heard it explained so succinctly, clearly and perfectly 739 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: so three different levels the one way you just vary 740 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 1: the first time. The first type she talked about interval 741 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: training cardiovascular you know, aerobic intervals. So that's varying the 742 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: speed essentially. So that's for the beginners, for those of 743 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: you just starting out, for the elderly, maybe coming back 744 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: if you you know, and for everybody variation with all 745 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: forms is good. But that's thirty seconds, as she said, 746 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: your normal pace, thirty seconds one gear higher, and alternate that. 747 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: So if you're a walker, there's your great takeaway. If 748 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: you walk for twenty minutes, thirty minutes an hour, at 749 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: some point, throw in a handful of those thirty seconds 750 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: one gear faster, thirty seconds back to normal and do three, four, 751 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: five a handful. You don't have to do a crazy 752 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: number of any of these. And truthfully, as we talked 753 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: about with Tibada, true tibada, the harder you go, the 754 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: fewer you need to do, the fewer you should do, 755 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: the fewer you can do. And that is great news. 756 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: Shows all about the great news, the science and the 757 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: great news behind it. Then the extreme other side, supra 758 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: interval training, right, true tibada twenty seconds brutally hard, ten 759 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 1: second recovery and that's four minutes total worktime, eight rounds. 760 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: When I took that group cycling class, I didn't get 761 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: a chance to say it to Dr Olson, I know 762 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: what the I talked to the instructor after she thought 763 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: it was eight rounds of eight rounds. She threw some 764 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: breaks in between each one a little bit longer, but 765 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: it was eight times doing eight rounds. It may have 766 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: been more, but I believe that was. I got kind 767 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: of dizzy after the first couple of rounds, but it 768 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 1: was it was too much. That's the higher end, so 769 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: that's you know, if you're a super high end athlete, 770 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: twenty seconds all out effort, ten seconds recovery eight times 771 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: or so. But the middle one, the high intensity interval 772 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: training is what most people will do, and so that 773 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: is again you can vary their work to rest ratios, 774 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: and a coach will do that for you, but a 775 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: great starting point for the vast majority of you is 776 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,959 Speaker 1: one to three and if you're a beginner, ten seconds hard, 777 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: thirty seconds recovery. If you're a little bit more advanced intermediate, 778 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: twenty seconds hard, sixty seconds recovery, and then thirty seconds 779 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: and ninety seconds recovery. Now listen, the advanced person can 780 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: also It's all about how hard you go during that 781 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: work intervals. So the advanced person can get a huge 782 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: benefit out of ten seconds hard, thirty seconds recovery, because 783 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 1: the stronger you are, the harder you're gonna push those intervals. 784 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: The goal of interval training is to go hard, go easy, 785 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: go home, stay out of that grays home interval training, 786 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 1: not the aerobic kind. That's just varying your speed and 787 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 1: there's benefit to that. But that's the takeaway. So there, 788 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: I want the vast majority of these shows that have 789 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 1: topics where you get a information that can have a takeaway. 790 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: There's your takeaway workout. So there's a way, and it 791 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: matters not if you're a biker, runner walker, what type 792 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 1: of cardio you're doing, rower you can do these type 793 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:31,720 Speaker 1: of intervals. That's it, all right, high intensity interval training. 794 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 1: Questions about that leave him in the comments.
