EFR 577: Home Workouts, Finding Time to Train, Overcoming Body Dysmorphia and Daily Supplement Recommendations with Chase Chewning and Maxx Chewning
Ever since the pandemic set in, our habits have undergone a massive transformation – with no gyms, parks, or other public places open, how does one keep the health and fitness routine going?
Join Chase and Maxx for another Q&A episode of Ever Forward Radio today as they help you find answers to your most persistent questions around weight loss, fitness, nutrition, and diet amid the pandemic. They talk about home workouts without (most) equipment for beginners and the experienced, finding the time for it amid a 60-hour workweek, diet vs. exercise, and supplement suggestions for gym-goers. They also touch on body dysmorphia and the tips to fight it and share why stressing your body over appearance could only cause you to gain more weight (if you're trying to lose it).
One of the most valuable takeaways from the episode is Chase's FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type) rule that talks about the points to remember when starting your fitness career.

Key Highlights
Nutrition and physical training go hand in hand. Even minimal resistance training can cause injury, like atrophying of muscle mass. The quality of your life and exercise depends on the nutrients you consume.
Body dysmorphia could cause you to overdo your training and sometimes injure yourself. It is essential that you understand your body and respect it and listen to what it says to you.
A heightened stress state could create new fat cells in your body. It could mess up your immune health and cause unnecessary weight gain.
Lion's Mane and Reishi are two of the most clinically proven, functional mushrooms that yield physiological benefits with zero side effects.
Lion's mane lights up your brain in a beneficial way – it stimulates your brain more, allowing new neural pathways to fire, thus also helping with your memory.
Reishi is called the queen of all mushrooms because of its extraordinary benefits to the immune system. Reishi is an immuno-modulator – whether your immunity levels are high or low, it would help you bring them down to your level of homeostasis.
Quotes
“If you can work on developing a better relationship with how you're moving, how you're training, what you're eating, why, when and where, start with that you're going to set yourself up for success.”
“When you're using Lion's Mane, it is stimulating your brain more, it's allowing new neural pathways to fire and then stay firing. The phrase is, neurons that fire together wire together. So it actually helps you lay down new tasks and things you're learning, memories and thoughts in a way that's not just right then and there, but it stays.”
“It (finding time to workout despite a 60-hour workweek) just comes down to prioritization (...). (You have to ask yourself) where are you spending your time?”
