WHF Podcast 24 – Good Fuel and the importance of HIIT

Fueling Well

Check when you’re eating, how much your eating. How much snacking/grazing are you doing?

Walking is great! Getting outside and walking the dog or with the kids is awesome but you need to be hitting your 3+ days a week for your HIIT training.

Hi Intensity Training “HIIT” is great for your cardio vascular or respiratory health, especially when fighting off or getting you through COVID-19…

Respiratory Rate and COVID-19

WHOOP is investigating a potential connection between changes in respiratory rate and COVID-19 symptoms. We believe that a noticeable increase in respiratory rate is a measurable precursor of coronavirus symptoms based on individual cases that we have seen in our data. We are studying this possible link with our research partners in an effort to better understand this current health crisis.

WHF Podcast 23 – Taste Testing Breakfast Cereals

Magic Spoon

Heather is always looking for better alternatives to everyday foods for us. She found Magic Spoon. (https://magicspoon.com) and we set out to compare their different types with the ones we all grew up with as kids, you know the very awesome sugary goodness ones!


We use a natural blend of monk fruit, stevia, and allulose. Allulose is a “rare” sugar found in things like figs and maple syrup. It tastes just like “regular” sugar, but has zero glycemic impact and almost zero calories (less than 0.4 cal/g).

WHF Podcast 22 – EGO

WHF Podcast 22 – EGO

“EGO” It can actually help you

Ego get’s a bad wrap. Now we’re not talking about all out big time athlete ego. We’re talking about having just enough fuel for your fire to go out and conquer your goals. See you need just a little ego to say that you’re good enough to go after something.

“ARROGANCE” Don’t let it go unchecked

Arrogance is ego unchecked. Don’t let that ego grow to large… where you lose the ability to learn and listen to others.

Keep that GROWTH mindset vs. that FIXED mindset!

WHF Podcast 20 – “Toxic” People

What kinds of people are we talking about?

To be clear we’re not talking about real, abusive situations. We’re talking more about the quiet, soul sucking, goal crushing kinds of people we all have in our life. We go on diets to cut out bad food and pick up good habits like exercising regularly, but how often do we cut out those that drain us of our focus and feelings…?

WHF Podcast 21 – Competition and Training Myths For Older People

WHF Podcast 21 – Competition and Training Myths For Older People

“Competition” can help you level up

We have found “competition” can really help you to “level up”. Not the bad, win or die, type of competition, but the overall type that gives you a big goal to attain. Performing or working in public can make you focus in a way that can really help you grow.

Training as we get older

Basics; there is no magic training plan or diet template you should follow. The same things that worked for you in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s will still work, you just need to be a bit smarter in your approach and recovery.

In short, recovery with the same focus as your work. 🙂

There are no training plans for over the 40s / 50s / 60s. ⠀ You might see things advertised as such, but this is just marketing BS. ⠀ You aren’t going to age into a group where we can all of a sudden day that you, along with everyone else your age, needs to do X, Y, and Z. ⠀ All the training principles that applied to your 20-year-old-self will apply to your 40-year-old self. ⠀ ??If you’re still making progress and feeling good, you can keep your training volume as frequency as they are, or they can even go higher. ⠀ ??If you’re feeling worn down and that you can’t recover (and you are taking care of business outside the gym — sleep and stress), then pull back a little. But bear in mind this is because you as an individual aren’t recovering, not because you as a 43-year-old aren’t recovering. ⠀⠀ ??If you have past injuries or mobility limitations, make sure you’re not dogmatic about exercise selection. Choose exercises that target the muscles you’re aiming for, where you can work through a full range of motion (ROM) without pain. If you need to shorten the ROM or adjust the angle, feel free to do it. ⠀⠀ Two personal examples here: ⠀⠀ » I can’t press overhead without my right shoulder getting cranky. The solution for me is to press at a slight angle — half-kneeling landmine presses work a treat. ⠀⠀ » I also don’t have enough shoulder mobility to get my arms back fully enough to back-squat without pain. The solution is to front squat or do safety bar squats. ⠀⠀ Don’t make the mistake of looking at an athlete who is in their 40s, assume they have found some ‘special source,’ and copy them. They are an outlier; you are not. ⠀⠀ ✅Many powerlifters are still getting stronger as they age; many natural bodybuilders are also. ⠀ ✅Consider yourself as an individual, not your age. ✅Don’t get sold anything special. ✅Assume you’ll do great, push hard, but listen to your body and it will tell you if and when it’s necessary to pull back. ⠀ Click the link in my bio to take my free nutrition setup course » @andy_rippedbody ⁠⠀ #rippedbody #rippedbodycoaching #rippedbodynutrition #evidencebasednutrition #muscleandstrengthpyramids #powerlifting #bodybuilding
