    2 Easy Ways To Make Your Workouts More Effective

    Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com You don't need a new workout routine to get better results from your workouts. You just need to switch a couple things about HOW you are doing your workouts.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are detailing out what these two things are and how to use them in your workouts. If you are already putting in the effort to get your workouts in and want better results without needing to workout harder or more often, listen up! These two easy things are the pathway to do just that. Check out all the details in this week's episode! Ready to schedule your first Muscle Activation Techniques® session with us?

    One Huge Benefit Of Consistent MAT & Exercise

    Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com Consistently exercising and getting Muscle Activation Techniques® are two of the most important things you can do for your strength and health overall. While there are many benefits that can be experienced soon after you get started with each, there are some unique benefits that you are more likely to experience once you have been consistent for about 12 months.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is exactly what we are discussing. We are diving into what this benefit is, why it takes so long to be experienced, and why it is important to get to the place where you can experience it. If you have ever wondered why we are so big on maintaining consistency with your MAT and strength training, this conversation unveils a huge piece of the equation.

    How Soon After Your MAT Session Can You Exercise?

    Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com How soon after your Muscle Activation Techniques® session can you exercise?

If you have ever tried to figure out the timing between your MAT dsessions and your workouts and want to know how long between each you should wait, this conversation will clear that up for you.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are discussing what we recommend almost everybody default to doing when they are feeling off in these ways.

    What Happens When You Stop Strength Training?

    Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com What happens when you stop strength training? Many people who are active in their teens and twenties slow down their strength training by the time they hit their thirties, but what does this mean for their body? How long can you expect to hold onto the strength you have built and how quickly will your body regress once it starts to lose strength? And, once you are on the downward slope of losing strength, is there a way to get back to the strength levels you were at before? On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are answering all of these questions and more. If you have taken some time away from strength training, this conversation can be a look into the crystal ball of what you can expect to happen to your body in the years to come as well as provide a practical plan to flatten out the downward slope as much as possible.
