I personally have some go-to standards I like to do.
I'll happily share that with you.
I tend to like to have a decent balance between kind of our anaerobic strength training, high heart rate stuff, and our more steady state, longer duration stuff.
So if someone's going to be able to work out three times per week, I'm probably doing one thing where we're going long durations.
call it a hike, call it a swim, call it a run, whatever we can do.
And then the other two days, I'm probably doing a combination of lifting and then probably finishing with some high heart rate.
thing right so we'll do like a little bit of strength and hypertrophy muscle growth work and then we'll do a circuit or an aerosol bike or some sprints or like what can we get you into it's like really really hard if i can get you an environment where you're working out with some other human i love that is there any reason why you do the strength first and then absolutely that's a great question if you do strength training before endurance work i'm
Your strength training will not compromise your endurance.
In fact, sometimes it exacerbates it.
If you do your endurance first, you're going to be more fatigued and you're going to lose strength and still have worse performance in your strength training.
I think it is exciting what's coming in the world of human health.
And I think it's helpful for people to know that stuff because a lot of the challenges we're facing are going to get worse.
We have things that are going to be possible pretty soon.
Kind of the stuff I'm talking about, this idea of precision exercise, precision nutrition, it's not really available to many people, too expensive, etc.
We're going to cross those barriers pretty soon.
We are working on a project right now called the Human Digital Twin.
So this is a combination of a couple of my companies.
So the sleep company, Absent Rest, our blood work company, Vitality, Blueprint, Springbok.
There's another company called Axioforce that actually has four sensors in your shoe.
And we can see early changes potentially in gait, so how you're walking, which could potentially, and research is needed here, but potentially be early signs of Parkinson's development, neurological disorder.
