Air Date: July 28 2024

Listen in to your host Shawna Patruno and fitness enthusiast Gabriella Greco as they explore fitness tips that prioritize the movement that suits you best. Their ideas make you want to kickstart your workout journey today!

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS: 

  • How does cardio affect your body when it’s already under stress? 
  • What advice would you give cardio junkies? 
  • How can you make fitness fun? 
  • When should people workout? 
  • What other health and fitness suggestions do you have for listeners?

SHOW NOTES:

  • Cardio increases your heart rate. Those who are stressed and do too much aerobic activity can increase their cortisol levels. When these levels remain high, it can cause you to gain weight, increase your blood pressure, impair your body’s ability to fight off sickness and more. 
  • People 30 years and over have unique hormone ranges, body types, and all this differs from their younger self. Adjusting workouts to match your needs as you age is critical. 
  • Muscle burns fat and increases metabolism. Building more of it can change your life! 
  • Less is more. You do not need to beat yourself into shape. 
  • Fitness can be fun. Do workouts that you enjoy and get you moving. 
  • Adapt your workouts for the seasons. Hiking, horseback riding, running, and swimming are all great summer activities. 
  • Going outside in the sunshine for your vitamin D can kick start digestion, boost your mood, and balance circadian rhythm. 
  • Workout timing is unique to each person. 
  • Exercising 35 minutes a day, 6 days a week is all people really need to see results. 
  • 2-2-2-1: 2 days of Cardio, 2 days of Strength, 2 days of Mobility and 1 day of Rest
  • Lofty fitness goals can stop people from working out. Chunk your goals into small, attainable objectives.
  • Women should workout with your cycle in mind. 
  • Fuel your body while working out. Before you do activity, find something easy to digest; and after, eat something with a balance of protein and carbohydrates.
