EFR 500: Why Resistance Training is the Most Effective Form of Exercise for Health and Longevity with Sal Di Stefano
Manage episode 297531806 series 1341947
Statistics show that the majority of Americans are now obese, in spite of the fact the fitness industry is bigger today than at any other point in time.
Sal Di Stefano of Mind Pump Media dives deep into this alarming disconnect and goes through the laundry list of issues that emerge as a result of poor health both on an individual level and on a society level.
In 2021, Sal published the book The Resistance Training Revolution, which details his observations and lessons learned after over 20 years in the fitness world. Frustrated at how the industry has failed to adequately address an obesity crisis that only continues to get worse, Sal wrote the book to tackle some of the common myths and misconceptions around health and fitness.
In particular, he hopes to change the mainstream paradigm regarding resistance training, which he believes is “the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and achieve health benefits you cannot obtain from other forms of exercise.”
“I made the book to specifically focus on trying to get people to adopt a form of exercise that has now been proven through study, but also one that I’ve seen through experience to be the most effective form of exercise for all of the health problems that we tend to run into in modern society—everything from obesity to diabetes to dementia to Alzheimer’s to loss of mobility to hormone issues. I’m trying to change the stigma that surrounds this form of exercise.”
Sal goes on to explain why cardio and tracking calories burned during exercise are two of the worst things to focus on when trying to lose weight. He then gives his thoughts on the dangers of the “self love” trend and why you should never conflate “self image” with “body image”.
