021 - Real Conditioning - Energy Systems 101

"Man, I gotta get in shape!"

What does that mean, exactly?

That's the problem with "conditioning", "endurance", and "being in shape".

We all know what we mean when we say it, and the other person knows what they think it is... but it's often not the same thing.

If you were an NFL lineman, you'd need to be in shape.

If you were a triathlete, you'd need to be in shape.

But those would look very different. That's where an understanding of how our body creates the energy that we need to move comes into play.

In this podcast I get into our three big energy systems, the fuel they use, and the considerations for how to train them to get the results you're actually looking for... so you can be in the shape and condition you need.
