Summary

Regular exercise equals good health. We have all heard it at one point or another. In fact, it doesn’t matter which type of expert you go to see, be it for weight loss, growing muscle, longevity, or even overcoming fatigue, they will all say the same. ”In order to be healthy and fit, you need to exercise.” Now, some of you might sit and think, ”Ari, how am I going to exercise when I am so fatigued that even going to the toilet depletes my energy resources and leaves me bedbound for hours? I clearly suffer from exercise intolerance due to my fatigue.” If this is you, you are not alone. Many members of the Energy Blueprint Program have actually told me that they find the idea of exercising unrealistic and impossible.

I think one of the barriers is how we view the concept ”exercise”. To many, exercise means going to the gym 4 times a week or running a marathon. And if you are suffering from CFS/ME or Fibromyalgia, that is indeed impossible. However, laying in bed all day long is not going to help you overcome fatigue either.

So what is the answer? How can we change your view on exercise? How can you start training from where you are at your current exercise level? And how can you overcome exercise fatigue?

This week, I have a talk with Alex Viada. Alex is probably one of the fittest people in the world. He has designed a hybrid training method that trains your body for health, strength, and longevity. The amazing thing about this particular method is that it can be applied to ANYONE REGARDLESS of their individual fitness level. In this episode, we will discuss exercise, why most people are exercising in ways that aren’t optimal for health, and how to train for weight loss, longevity, and energy (and overcome exercise intolerance.)

In this podcast, we’ll cover

Why it can be almost impossible for most people to exercise while on a diet
How most people train in ways that aren’t optimal for health
How to train for rapid muscle growth
Why a good physical appearance doesn’t automatically mean you are healthy
The difference between Cardiovascular (cardio), High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT), and strength (resistance) training
How the ketogenic diet affects your health and exercise (when to eat it and when not to)
How modern-day bodybuilders and powerlifters are some of the most unhealthy people on the planet
Why most people aren’t doing HIIT at the proper intensity (and how to adjust so you reach the right intensity for you)
Why you should incorporate cardio, HIIT, AND resistance training in your weekly exercise routine
How to overcome exercise intolerance without ending up bed bound for days
Why scientfic research on exercise and performance is limited (and why you should not rely on all research that is published as being good for your health)
How to build strength and muscle without feeling pain after
Should I just push through the pain and stress? Why recovery is as crucial to health as activity

0:00.0	Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show,
0:05.1	I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more
0:10.0	excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint.
0:15.6	After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough
0:23.7	mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human
0:29.5	energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine,
0:36.2	and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up
0:40.4	your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving
0:46.4	you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels
0:50.9	worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability,
0:56.0	your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers
1:02.1	who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following
1:07.8	my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of
1:11.1	most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central
1:17.0	fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well
1:24.3	as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount
1:32.2	of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two
1:37.1	important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity,
1:43.6	the ability of their cells to produce energy,
1:45.6	decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other
1:51.8	words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their
1:59.1	mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's
