Ep. 156 Different Forms of Exercise and Their Benefits


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into the diverse world of exercise, exploring three prominent forms: Strength Training, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and Endurance Training. Tune in as I break down the unique benefits, methods, and considerations for each type of workout, helping you make informed decisions about your fitness routine.

Episode Highlights:

Strength Training

  • Defining strength training and its primary focus on building muscle mass and strength
    • Benefits of strength training, including increased metabolism, improved bone density, and enhanced functional fitness.
    • Tips for beginners: start with bodyweight exercises, gradually progress to heavier weights, and prioritize proper form.

    • High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

      • Unpacking the concept of HIIT as a time-efficient and intense workout involving alternating periods of high-intensity exercises and rest.
      • Discussing the cardiovascular benefits of HIIT, including improved heart health and enhanced endurance.
      • Sample HIIT workout routines and their adaptability to various fitness levels.
      • What is TRUE HIIT vs standard circuit training
      • How to balance HIIT workouts into a workout routine when trying to regulate hormones
      • Endurance Training

        • Defining endurance training and its focus on prolonged aerobic activities like running, swimming, and cycling.
        • Benefits of endurance training, such as increased lung capacity, better cardiovascular health, and mental resilience.
        • Training methods for building endurance, including long steady-state sessions and progressive overload.

        • Low intensity training such as walking (one of my personal favorites for adrenal health and fat loss), stretching, pilates, yoga etc and how you can fit all the above into a routine.
