Neural Activation Training

For the past few months, a lot of you have been following my Deadpool Workouts. In particular, you have been following version #4 – designed to build strength & power while melting off body-fat at a ridiculous rate. (here’s a sample workout) Simply put, it’s a powerful workout. But…with great power comes great responsibility. And 2 months ago, I “responsibly” told you that how you spend your time away from the gym depended upon your needs & how your body was recovring from these workouts. But then I watched this video…and literally kicked my own ass for not thinking of this first.

Neural Activation Workouts

In an attempt to:

• eliminate nervous system fatigue,
• recover from workouts faster,
• improve workout performance, and
• see better results

Strength coach Christian Thibaudeau started having his client perform these very brief workouts each & every day. And for the past few weeks, I have been beta testing these mini-workouts on myself and a few selected human lab rats. The Results Fantastic. Keeping in mind that our results are mostly anecdotal, I am pretty psyched about adding these mini workouts into the mix. And because I realize that most of us don’t have the time, interest or resources to head to the gym 1-3 times per day to workout, I have focused on bodyweight, band & dumbbell/kettlebell exercises. As well, because these 5-10 minute workouts utilize low reps & low weights, you probably won’t even sweat. In fact, one of my clients does his afternoon session in his office while wearing a suit & tie – jacket off of course. . In tomorrow’s post, I will outline the details and starting next week, we include them in the Health Habits Workout Series .

Putting the “Health” Back in Healthcare

Canada’s healthcare system may be on the verge of a massive change.

Instead of continuing to spend billions of dollars simply treating the symptoms of disease, Canada’s health ministers have agreed that:

the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, disability and injury are a priority and necessary to the sustainability of the health system.

They also agreed that the main causes of death, disease and disability in Canada today are chronic diseases and injuries, and that a large proportion of chronic diseases, disabilities and injuries can be prevented, or at least delayed.

They continued by saying that more emphasis needs to be placed on the promotion of health and on preventing or delaying chronic diseases, disabilities, and injuries.

Doing this will improve the quality of life of Canadians while reducing disparities in health and the impact these conditions have on individuals, families, communities, the health-care system and on society.

OMG

A healthcare system that focuses on health.

Fingers crossed people.
