Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• It’s important to get a proper assessment before starting a routine because everyone has different imbalances and needs
  • “The right exercise for somebody may be the wrong exercise for someone else” – Sal Di Stefano
• Step 1) Figure out of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
  • That’s how many calories your body burns on a daily basis. People are terrible at predicting how many calories they need so it’s important to figure out your TDEE.
• Step 2) Get your hormone and nutrient levels tested
  • Your hormones can actually tell you if your diet and exercise routine are working for you
• Step 3) Assessing your movement with proper priming
  • You can assess your movement with 3 tests: the wall test, the windmill, and a squat
• Step 1) Building the foundation of strength
  • Strength is the foundation of every exercise 
• Step 2) Focusing on performance training
  • “Just having muscle isn’t enough, you need to be able to move well” – Sal Di Stefano
• Step 3) Sculpting and shaping your body
  • Once you’ve built a foundation of strength and have worked on your performance training, then you can focus on sculpting your body
