Science-Supported Tools to Accelerate Your Fitness Goals

In this episode, I explain a set of fitness tools gleaned from the
6-part guest series on fitness, exercise and performance with Dr.
Andy Galpin. First, I explain the essential components of a
well-rounded fitness program for lifelong health and performance
including the minimum requirements for progressive resistance and
cardiovascular training. Then, I discuss 12 valuable
science-supported fitness tools that take a small amount of time to
implement, yet all of which can greatly enhance your level of
fitness. These include short endurance-enhancing and strength and
hypertrophy-enhancing tools, as well as psychological, respiration
(breathing), nutrition and supplementation-based tools — all of
which will improve your fitness in meaningful ways and can be
easily layered into existing exercise programs to improve your
fitness and performance outcomes. For show notes, including
