Listener Q&A: Sprint Workouts, Getting Started with Chest Freezer Cold Water Therapy, Reconciling the Constrained Model of Energy Expenditure, Lifestyle Changes that will Reduce Chronic Stress, and More! ( Breather Episode with Brad)

The questions keep coming and they are diverse and interesting! Be part of the fun by emailing podcast@bradventures.com with your comments and questions on all matters of healthy living. This show covers a variety of topics, starting with the specifics of an effective sprint workout (reps, duration, recovery intervals, and progressing carefully from no-impact to high impact running) and continuing into a conversation about reconciling the constrained model of energy expenditure with the idea that sprinting promotes fat reduction (hint: it’s still mostly about diet and eliminating processed foods). I talk about the tradeoff between the nutritional integrity of raw food versus cooking food to make digestion easier, how to get started with chest freezer cold water therapy, and lifestyle changes that will reduce chronic stress and improve male hormone status. I also discuss the benefits of nasal diaphragmatic breathing and explain the correct kind of stretching to cure plantar fasciitis, before wrapping up with the interesting dilemma of how to perform high intensity workouts to muscle failure to prompt strength increases, while also honoring the edict to try and avoid post-exercise muscle soreness and prolonged recovery. Thanks for listening and please email any and all questions here ! TIMESTAMPS: Paul asks about sprint workouts. What is the best amount of time between each interval? [01:42] Michael is asking about the theory of energy expenditure which is that we burn the same number of calories whether we are exercising or not.

[16:19] Dave wants to know how to keep the water in the chest freezer clean. [18:16] Chronic stress diminishes testosterone. What can you do about it? [20:15] Steve talks about the benefits of nose breathing as well as improvements in his balance he has made. [27:58] Ellen describes how Brad’s video on stretching to cure plantar fasciitis helped her. [30:04] Sheldon wants to know about the workouts where you push muscles to absolute failure vs. leaving a little in the tank.
