"It's genetic" is a statement we all know. But is it really the case that genes are set in stone? No, it is not. Well, technically they are, but the expression of genes is not. According to Dr. Berg, only 5-10% of diseases are genetic and therefore inherited from parents. Epigenetics can positively influence gene expression and prevent diseases. And the gift keeps on giving, you can inherit a favorable gene expression to your children. So the next time you eat that cake or have that cigarette, think of your grandchildren. Here is your guide to make epigenetics work in your favor.

Current scientific research shows that if you train for hours every week, especially when it comes to medium-intensity endurance activities, there is no added value in improving "health and fitness". Why only high intensity strength training (HIT) is able to optimize all components of metabolic activity and deliver unique health benefits in minutes.

The first part of this mini blog post series about high intensity training (HIT) dealt with the theoretical basis of antifragility of a human body and how this is also reflected in the adaptability of our species. The tendency to overreact (#dramaqueen) to external stressors has resulted in people being able to colonize every climate zone on this planet so successfully. Use this knowledge to get fit.

There are exponential and linear effects. Which ones are you achieving with your training routine? With too much exercise and too little recovery time, you are taking a middle ground that can, unfortunately, lead to frustration. With one HIT strength training a week and only low-intensity training and rest, you achieve exponential health and fitness effects. What are the effects and why high intensity strength training is the optimal way to upgrade your body and maintain it in shape?
