🧪 Today in our Lab 🥼 we are going to take a coffee ☕ with Simon Shawcross.

Simon Shawcross is the founder of HITuni.com and has been a personal trainer since 1999. He is a respected author and speaker on the topics of exercise and wellbeing, with a core focus on communicating the value of strength training for everyone. We'll know more about Simon routines over the past 20 years and more, why Simon gravitated toward strength training, all about efficiency and frequency when working out and Simon' project called HITuni.

We'll dive deep on:

• Some fitness industry and misconceptions (fat loss and exercise, need for cardio/aerobics etc)
• What parameters and metrics to monitor to detect fatigue and confirm recovery
• Is “sweat” really necessary?
• Importance of breathing when working out
• Exercise order, is it important? Why? Metabolic stress
• What does “Functional Exercise” means for Simon
• How stretching is important and how to integrate to the routines
• No External Load Training (NXL) let’s talk about this “paradox” way of training
• The Nutritional component
• If Supplements are really needed

And much, much more.
