Key Terms and Concepts
VO2 Max: A measure of the maximum volume of oxygen an athlete can use. It's a pivotal indicator of cardiovascular fitness.Heart Rate Variability (HRV): A measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat. Contrary to focusing on HRV, Justin suggests monitoring resting heart rate and respiration rate upon waking as more reliable health indicators.Eccentric and Concentric Movements: In resistance training, eccentric refers to muscle lengthening, while concentric relates to muscle shortening. Understanding these can aid in designing effective workout routines.Isometrics: Exercises where the muscle length doesn't change during contraction. These are beneficial for recovery and building strength within a muscle's range of motion.Resistance Training Fundamentals: Justin emphasizes four essential movements: push, pull, hinge, squat. Tailoring these to personal preference can make resistance training more enjoyable and effective.
Techniques and Tactics
Overcoming Stress
Exploration and Curiosity: Emphasizing the importance of following one's passion and curiosity within exercise and beyond to ensure sustained engagement and joy in health practices.
Flexibility and Mobility
Pre-bed Stretching Routine: Engaging in gentle stretching before bed can enhance sleep quality and muscle relaxation without the need for intensive flexibility training.
Cardiovascular Fitness
Incremental Progression: Start with what's manageable and enjoyable, gradually increasing intensity and duration to improve cardiovascular health without overwhelming oneself.Norwegian High-Intensity Training Protocol: A rigorous training method that can significantly enhance VO2 max with just one session a week, but requires building up to avoid adverse reactions.
