Ex-Pro-Athlete Alex Feinberg: Better Results with Less Work - #65

Stay Off My Operating Table

As a former professional athlete with an Economics degree, Alex Feinberg went on to work in a global macro hedge fund and later became a Google employee, so he is more than just a ripped health and fitness enthusiast.
In 2014, when he decided to change his training by running faster in just a short distance, he unexpectedly lost fat without much effort. He seemed to do everything against the book, yet he saw desirable results. Running faster at a shorter distance, lifting weights, but with fewer reps, not counting calories or tracking macros, and not sacrificing eating delicious foods.
He wants to influence and help people with this strategy - on paper, it wasn’t supposed to work, yet it has been effective with the people he trained. How is this possible? Learn from him in this episode as he shares why we should eat protein-dominant real food, what workouts work, and how our cravings can be our body’s signals to inform as what we need. He even gives his personal two rules in health and fitness - one that includes to never go hungry! Listen to know more.

“You need to make progress like intentionality is paired with progress. Because if you're not pushing your body to do something that it's uncomfortable doing, it has no reason to physiologically adapt to any stimulus, right? You need to give your body stimulus that it's not accustomed to if you want your body to look or perform in a way it hasn't performed before.” - Alex Feinberg
