alright let’s talk about exercise optimization formula ok now I’m going to

give you kind of a general guideline and then we’ll get more specific here’s some

basic things you must know all the benefit of exercise of exercising

stressing your body spending time then recovering is in the recovery so the

benefit of exercise is in the recovery after the exercise exercise in itself

actually just stresses and breaks your body down but the benefit is your

ability to recover and burn fat so when it’s recovering its burning fat

many people do not give enough time in the recovery phase of exercise to be

able to see the change I was in basic training for Jackson South Carolina 1983

I went in their top shape going the state to wrestle you know the whole

thing I was in really good shape a wrestler by the time I graduated after

three months I could barely pass the PT test could do it couldn’t even do a

push-up couldn’t even run why because of no recovery they didn’t let me sleep

it was exercise every day there was no downtime it destroyed my body and also

stress so with exercise you will lose way more weight with the eating part

then you will with the exercise some people say well I’m gonna eat what I

want I’m just gonna exercise twice as hard oh really how does that working for

you it’s not going to work so the eating is most important I have helped a lot of

people lose weight by stopping working out but I’m not against working out we

need to do it but we have to make sure your sleep is good if your sleep is good

then you can do more exercise I’m not saying it’s not exercise I want you to

keep doing exercise but I want to make sure you recover from it so here’s

here’s what happens if you’re sleeping and you’re exercising and you’re not

getting sore and you feel pretty good the next day or every third day then you

can go ahead and keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll plug in the other stuff

but I want to give you some other things to think with so it’s not so a cookbook

if you’re working out and you don’t feel good after you

work out then you’re overtraining overtraining is very dangerous to the

heart I have a machine that measures people and I find people sometimes we’re

at risk for heart attacks and they don’t even know it okay so give your body a

chance to recover when you’re doing like an hour of kickboxing or Zumba or some

hardcore workout it’s much better to do that every third day then every day or

even every other day especially as you get older especially with weight loss

some people I find you have to do it once every week or twice a week that

would be the optimum time because they have to give themselves downtown

downtime and on the downtime they can go for long walks they can do yoga they can

do stretching that type of thing Pilates is great yoga is great but for the

adrenal body type we want to kind of err on the smaller amount of exercise okay

but as soon as you start sleeping you feeling better now we can really pick up

the pace and start to just do some crazy hardcore workouts but there is a little

formula I’m going to teach you that will give you the data on how where you are

at at risk for your heart okay like you want to know if you want to risk for a

heart attack that you can do this what you do is you you need a stopwatch and

you need something to check your pulse rate you can have a pulse rate a meter

that they’ll check they you can put it on your finger and check your pulse rate

or you just take your two fingers and press on the artery and feel your pulse

rate or your artery right here and feel the pulse rate and you can count it I

like to count it for 15 seconds and then multiply it times four to get the total

minute of number of pulse beats a normal pulse beat for each minute should be

like 72 okay if it’s lower that could be very good unless you don’t workout then

it could be very bad but we want it kind of lower than that we want it like 16 18

and 50 especially for athletes so we get the resting pulse rate before you

exercise then you get on some type of I don’t know a machine or in place you can

do burpees you can do run in place you can do jump rope you can do something to

get your whole body under some intense exercise for one minute okay so we’ve

got the right right down the resting pulse rate we do this incredible

look out we spiked the pulse rate and then we measure our pulse rate again

okay when we spiked it let’s pretend that goes to 150 after 1 minute workout

then we’re going to rest for one minute and recheck the pulse rate so let’s say

we rest for one minute and the pulse rate reduces down to 140 so we subtract

150 for 140 and that equals 10 okay if your if we measure 12 or pulse repeats

or less in other words if you spike your pulse rate and it only comes down 12 or

less than that you are at risk for heart attacks you should not be exercising

right now you can do some slight walking in a flat surface but your heart cannot

handle that because it’s not recovering very dangerous but if your pulse rate

comes down fast let’s see it goes down by 50 points you are in good shape you

can handle a workout so really this indicator of how fast your pulse rate

recovers after the first minute is a real good clue to see how healthy you

really are okay it’s one of the best indicators of health especially for the

heart what we want is a fast recovery like of course when you’re 18 you can

recover fast but then what you do is you recheck you keep checking your pulse

rate every minute and see how long it takes for it to come all the way down to

the resting pulse rate okay let’s say it takes five minutes to go down then if

you were going to do interval training which is a type of high-intensity rest

you would do it for one minute of exercise and you would wait for five

minutes of rest that would be your pattern so we exercise for one minute of

intensity and we rest for five minutes we exercise one minute rest for five

minutes and we do like three cycles of that to start out with because the

ratios of interval training of a short burst of exercise and lots of rest this

is a way to figure it out what we don’t want to do is do one minute on and one

minute off one minute on one minute off no no that’s not that’s not enough time

to recover because when you spike your pulse rate and then we wait for it to

come back and then we do it again and do it again

we’re not strengthening our recovery systems

you’re just overdoing it you’re putting your body and overwhelm so you can watch

this video again and can take notes but the point is that we want to spike the

pulse rate see how fast it comes down to determine our interval training but also

determine if you’re at risk so if you’re between 20 and 30 that’s pretty much

okay if you’re greater than 30 or more you’re actually in really good shape and

you can recover very well all right so that’s exercise optimization formula
