Episode 6- Fitness Myths- Part 2- Fasted Cardio, Lactate in the Brain, Misuse of "Metabolism"...

The Fitness Experiment

Here is part 2 of our hugely popular "fitness myths" segment. This week we continue this discussion, and get into why being "bulky" does not automatically mean you fatigue faster, the idea or poplar phrase that "CrossFit is terrible for the body", and this week we actually talk about IIFYM (if it fits your macros diet) apologies for adding this to part 1 description! (oops) That's it!? No, wait there's more. We uncover why the saying "rev up your metabolism" is faulty, and how metabolism, in general, is often abused, and the truth about lactic acid (hint: it's not bad after all! in fact you want this stuff in your muscles and YOUR BRAIN). Yes, we talk about shocking research from the field of neuroscience showing the brain loves lactate (lactic acid). Enjoy! (again sorry for adding some of these to last week's description - we just got so darn excited!). ---SHERRIFF'S PERFORMANCE ACADEMY--- Fitness programs that reflect client goals, assessment results, and structural balance.
