Hello, and thank you for joining us for this week’s episode!Your metabolism plays huge role in how your body processes exercise. From speeding up to slowing down, it helps gauge how your body responds to the exercises you do, the food you eat, even down to how much rest you get. It’s an important part of your health and what’s more important is that everyone is different.There certainly isn’t a “one size fits all” scenario when it comes to learning about your own metabolism and it only benefits you more when you know what works best for you.In This Podcast You Will Learn:1). How your metabolism is in charge of burning actual calories throughout the course of your life during different activities and how this slows over time and what that means for you as you age.2). How it’s easy to assume that because we get older and our metabolism slows down that there is nothing we can do to burn more calories which isn’t true. Even as we age there are ways to keep our metabolism running high and smooth throughout our aging process.3). Some simple suggestions that you can do everyday to burn more calories as you go through your normal routine.4). How sleep affects your metabolism and getting the appropriate amount of rest can keep your body in good shape not only during the day but at night as well.5). Explaining the myth that people with faster metabolism’s are healthier over all and that someone with a slow metabolism needs to work harder to attain the same level of health.///Thank you again for joining us on this podcast. We hope the information we discuss here in the episode about your metabolism helps you in your own fitness journey and helps you discover what routines and schedules work best for you.As mentioned, no one is the same and learning what works for you and your body is the best way to achieve your fitness goals.Til the next episode!Team MeredithSupport the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello and thank you for joining us for this week’s podcast!This episode is an informative discussion with Meredith about the difference between pain and discomfort when it comes to living an active lifestyle or just everyday mobility.Dealing with both pain and discomfort is something we all experience at one point or another but we can also easily make the mistake of letting discomfort sideline us or letting pain get the best of us. When is it safe to push through what we think discomfort is or are we experiencing true pain?In This Podcast You Will Learn:1). Why it doesn’t necessarily mean that if we don’t feel “pain” after your exercises that you’re not making gains, this isn’t entirely true.2). How we correlate pain with getting injured or causing injury and how this can keep us from staying active or motivated to exercise.3). Tips on how to listen to your body when evaluating your pain or discomfort levels and determining your level of activity.4). Why we easily assume that pain and discomfort are one in the same but learning the actual differences can help us navigate new exercises ow workouts and feel better about how they affect our bodies.5). Why it’s ok to go at your own pace when it comes to exercising and that you don’t have to always feel pain after a workout to know you are making progress.///We hope this episode has helped you in dealing with any pain or discomfort during you everyday life. Knowing what needs real medical attention instead of just discomfort (or vice versa) is important as we navigate the successes of living an active life style.Tile the next episode!Team MeredithSupport the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
