-Assessment & Demo Workout Sports & Fitness Instruction
Two of the best in the industry discussing the power of maximal intensity cardio. Andrew Huberman & Andy Galpin dive into the details of why a workout like the CAROL bike provides incredible benefits.
The main takeaways:
-Typical slow paced, long duration cardio such as walking, jogging, even weight training should be a given for everybody. It can improve your cardiovascular health but not nearly as much as near max training.
-At least once a week, you should perform an exercise that causes you to go to near max heart rate. (Elsewhere in their conversation its stated that you can do a higher frequency with no negative effects).
-The benefits of max cardio training include improved stroke volume, cardiac output, resting heart rate, mitochondria performance and much more. Stress causes adaptation.
-A variety of different exercises can accomplish near max heart rate typically anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds. (The CAROL can accomplish this in just 20 seconds thanks to the adaptive AI technology).
-There is no interference effect with other forms of training including resistance, its actually tends to be complementary. They can be performed in the same workout or at different times (we typically perform a CAROL session after an ARX session).
We’re fortunate enough to have the CAROL bike here at the Lab. Want to see what the hype is all about? Contact us to learn more!

Lets talk about proper form! 🗣
While HIIT is the most effective and efficient form of resistance training, its incredibly important not to forget proper technique, stability, and alignment while doing so. This will help lead to injury prevention, neurological adaptations, and superior results. To add, proper form will help you perform resistance training pain free if that is a ailment you currently face.
In this video, you see 3 different exercises: row, leg press, and chest press. In all 3, you can see how his trunk or what we call his thoracopelvic cylinder (TPC) are aligned and look identical. The TPC includes the ribs, spine, and hips. The goal is simple, keep the TPC aligned and the limbs will have a much greater chance of moving correctly throughout exercise.

A tremendous explanation by Kristin•Gibbs•Smith•Fit from New Orleans on how ARX compares to weight training in the gym! ⤵️
You know the advantages of weight training: lean muscle, strength, hormone optimization, increased bone density and higher metabolism. But how could you be doing it better?

Struggling to build and strengthen a certain area of your body? Frustrated with the lack of results?
⠀⠀
As we go through the ware and tare of everyday life (ex: sitting down, injuries) some of our muscles become dormant. At the WL, we will not only teach you how to have correct form to allow for proper activation to occur, we can maximize the results by performing slow, controlled, optimally loaded movements using the ARX.

Great insight from Mark Hyman, MD on the importance of muscle! ⬇️
⠀⠀
"These days, we hear a lot about carbs versus fats. But what about protein?⠀
⠀
It’s become the forgotten macronutrient. ⠀
⠀
The diet-wars have been tough on protein, as strict vegans and believers in Paleo strongly disagree on the best forms of it to consume.
⠀
But protein plays an essential role in good health. So despite the emotional response it elicits in many, it’s about time we pay it more attention. Protein is responsible for the growth and maintenance of new tissue (the building blocks for a strong body!) and makes up certain hormones that act as messengers, as well as the enzymes that we need for metabolic reactions.⠀
⠀
Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon about the importance of protein and why we should shift our dietary focus. ⠀
⠀
Throughout this episode, Dr. Lyon and I get into the much-debated topic of protein. We discuss why plant-based and animal-based proteins are not necessarily created equal, why we should eat more than the recommended daily allowance, and how to break through the culture of dietary confusion.⠀
⠀
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is an integrative physician who completed her fellowship in Nutritional Sciences and Geriatrics at Washington University, St. Louis. She is board-certified in Family Medicine and completed her undergraduate work in Human Nutrition Vitamin and Mineral Metabolism. Dr. Lyon works closely with current and retired Special Operations military operators as a part of the Task Force Dagger Foundation.⠀
