From the Series: Improving Fitness For a Better Life

The largest indicator of long term health is fitness not body weight. Exercise physiologist, Dr. Niels Vollaard, and Steve Munatones from KAATSU Global discuss how stressing the body through smart and innovative exercise techniques is best way to improve fitness. Highlights "The only way the body is going to get fitter, is to be stressed. Exercise is the perfect stressor." KAATSU bands apply pressure to the arms and legs, that allow blood flow into the extremities, but slow the bloodflow out. This engorges the capillaries with blood, and increases vessel elasticity. "Moving the muscle with KAATSU stresses the body and increases the production of Human Growth Hormone, improving fitness without the wear and tear on your body." "Without any weights, we can get anyone...A Navy Seal, NFL linemen, or NBA power forward to total fatigure by just applying proper pressure from KAATSU."

The body needs stress to adapt to higher levels of fitness, but time becomes a difficult factor. High intensity work can give the body the amount of stress it needs to adapt in shorter time frames. In as little as 15 seconds of high intensity sprints, specialized exercise bikes were developed and used to accomplish this. This was the initial inspiration of the CAR.O.L bike. Highlights "We know that exercise is good for you...but the main reason people do not exercise from a psychological point of view is they perceive that they do not have enough time." "It's the combination of duration and intensity that makes high intensity exercise manageable." "When we do a short, intense amount exercise it breaks down the glycogen that is stored in the muscles and body. This happens with as little as a short, high intense sprint of 15-20 seconds."

This episodes on unique techniques to build strength and muscle in more efficient ways and less time. By engaging both the eccentric (lengthening) and concentric (shortening) phases of muscle movement, we can build strength. Featuring expertise from Jim Keen of ARX. Highlights "We can control more muscular tension, then we can actually lift. However with traditional weight lifting, we have to under load the muscles because while we can control the weight going down, we can't lift it back up. This leaves half the gains on the table." "A weight is always acting on you. The moment you lift a weight, you've committed to handling the weight." Adaptive resistance is the key to constantly maximizing the force your muscles are producing.
