But what happens in those classes and low intensity or sitting around is there's a really high incidence of being skinny fat.

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.

Because like I was saying earlier, our center of gravity is down in our hips. So if you're putting a weighted vest on, you're putting all the weight up here, which is not where our center of gravity is. So that changes your biomechanics.
