The TRUTH About Exercise and Metabolism (Hard Science)

Strength training, exercising, conditioning, boot camps, working out, Richard Simmons videos (wait, what?!)...

You hear about it all the time these days.  I talk about it during our training sessions, during the “Maximize Your Metabolism” classes, with my online-Meatheads coaching clients, and pretty much to anyone else who will listen.

Seriously, you can't get anymore "Forrest Gump at a bus stop" than me when it comes to training.  Truth is, though, that I'm passionate about it and want to give people a ton of fitness information that'll help them get leaner, get healthier, and finally feel good.

And that's why I want to tell you about exercise:

It's great for your Metabolism.  It's awesome for your physique.  It's crucial for your health.

BUT….

What's the real science behind it?  Does it really help?  How does it help?
The easy answer is right here from my buddy and RD, Jayson Hunter:

Strength Training and Metabolism

So now you understand WHY it's good for you, but HOW should you exercise to REALLY jack up your metabolism? Well, Elliott Hulse (remember him from a few posts back how he explained Lean Hybrid Muscle Training?) is hooking you up with an exact design of his workouts at his gym, Strength Camp, in St. Pete, Florida!

Keep training in your imagination between sets to increase your strength

Imagine that!

Studies have shown that by "training in your imagination" you can actually increase strength and performance, thus increasing muscle mass, fat loss, and strength gain. While there appears to be only slight increases in the previously mentioned results, it does look to be promising in terms of getting your mind ready to complete the task at hand. Personally, I think we'd all do ourselves a bit of good by taking a few moments to look inside of ourselves and focus before doing any kind of lifting... Visualization is a very key, yet often overlooked, factor in training, hell, in life!

Before any kinds of lifting, I always have my clients visualize the lift before it happens. Establishes inner confidence, which exudes outward.

Who would've thought? Maybe there is something to the saying "Think your way thin."
