The Thinker's Apprentice

33- Exercise


Listen Later

This week's episode is all about exercise and how we can use it to optimize our genetic expression. Some things we discuss are: 

  • Genetic expression and how our genes respond to environmental stimuli.
  • Our sedentary lifestyles and the effect they have on our health.
  • Why we age at an accelerated pace due to the mismanagement of our genes.
  • The 3 exercise laws of The Primal Blueprint, by Mark Sisson, which are Move Frequently, Lift Heavy Things, and Sprint Once in a While. We dive deep into each of these laws and discuss how to apply them to your life to optimize your genetic expression.
  • Chronic Cardio. We define what chronic cardio is and the myriad ways it's actually ruining your health.
  • The Maffetone aerobic zone and how to do proper cardio.
  • Mobility. We spend a good amount of time talking about this. So many long-term physiological issues are the result of poor mobility and it's not that hard to stay mobile. 
  • In this week's Call-to-Action we put it all to work and create a new fitness plan that is the minimum input required for the maximum genetic expression. In this podcast we like to work smarter, not harder.
