How to Get Stronger as You Age - Deep Fitness in 30 Minutes a Week

Osha and Philip Shepherd discuss Deep Fitness, an anti-aging  exercise practice that builds muscle, promotes the health of every tissue and organ in your body, and brings you into harmony with your body-mind-spirit.  Research has proven that aging can be - at a cellular level - reversed by putting stress on our muscles which then triggers longevity regulators that science has revealed.  Can you just take a magic pill? No. What’s required is to push yourself beyond your comfort zone.  And this is where mindful and embodied presence brings you home to yourself.It does require some effort on your part - but the good news is - our bodies have evolved to protect and repair our DNA - and it only takes 30 minutes once or twice a week to gain the benefits.No matter how old you are, current research shows that you can gain muscle mass and get stronger.  We now know that when muscles are challenged to work, messenger molecules are released that promote the health of every tissue and organ. Science has discovered that strength training is powerful anti-aging medicine.  Philip Shepherd and Andrei Yakovenko co-authored the book:Deep Fitness: The Mindful, Science-Based Strength-Training Method to Transform Your Well-Being in Just 30 Minutes a Week.According to Dr. Doug McGuff, MD. and physiology expert, “Aging and diseases of modern civilization are 100% related to pathological muscle loss that occurs with aging.” Philip Shepherd and Andrei Yakovenko have studied metabolic health and the science of exercise and claim that we can build muscle and increase our fitness dramatically in just 30 minutes a week.  These discoveries are the result of cutting edge research that has proven the powerful effects of this type of exercise training.Prior to co-authoring Deep Fitness, Philip Shepherd created The Embodied Present Process, which he developed over 40 years of teaching embodiment practices and now shares worldwide. His other books include Radical Wholeness and -  New Self, New World.Originally from Ukraine, Andrei Yakovenko worked as a geophysics scientist prior to setting up up New Element Training, a group of strength-training studios in Toronto, Canada. In his ten years of running his gyms he has trained thousands of clients.If you enjoyed this show, please leave a positive review and share with your friends. Thank you! Osha
