We're not going to see a dissipation of our minnow bellies or visceral fat. We're going to see an increase in that. We're going to be completely tired all the time, which means we are not sleeping well. And if you can't sleep well, you're not going to invoke any change. So when we're looking at that moderate intensity work that people feel is high intensity, I feel like it's such a disservice.

And what makes me angry about these classes is that they are really marketing to women 40 plus. And I'm like, this is just not appropriate. These women are coming, wanting help. They want to do some strength training. And the protocols you're throwing in there are specific for men. And you're not looking at what's happening when women hit 40 onwards. So when we talk about true high intensity,

So when we talk about true high intensity,

We look at taking a page out of High Rocks or CrossFit where they're doing every minute on the minute for four minutes and then one minute full recovery. And you might do two or three rounds of that. And that is true high intensity work because each minute you're going to go as hard as you can. It might be 40 or 50 seconds, 20 seconds to get to the next one.

Then you do that four times in a full minute to like come down. Maybe it's two minutes to come down. Repeat that again and maybe a third time. So all up, it's 20 minutes of work. And that is true high intensity work.

It wouldn't necessarily make them worse off as you're looking at it, comparing to someone who's just doing low intensity work all the time. But what happens in those classes and low intensity or sitting around is there's a really high incidence of being skinny fat. So that means you might look lean, but you don't have a lot of really good quality lean mass and you have low bone density.

There are so many women in the past about six months that have come saying, I don't understand what's going on. I got my DEXA scan and I go to these classes. I go to boot camp. I go to Les Mills. I go to Orange Theory. I'm osteopenic and I have a very high amount of visceral fat. I'm like, okay, well, there's two things. One, you're probably not eating enough.

And two, you're putting yourself under this moderate intensity load almost every day and Your body has no chance to recover and polarize and understand that it needs to step up its game to be able to answer the challenge of exercise because it's not getting the feedback to actually adapt. It's getting the feedback to stay tired but wired and in a stressed state like you have to run from a bear.
