Welcome to the Movement Logic Podcast, with yoga teacher and strength coach Laurel Beversdorf, and physical therapist Dr. Sarah Court. With over 30 years combined experience in the yoga, movement and physical therapy worlds, we believe in strong ideas, loosely held – which means we’re not hyping outdated movement concepts. Instead, we’re here with up-to-date and cutting-edge tools, evidence and ideas to help you as a mover and a teacher. Music: Makani by Scandinavianz & AXM
Episode 61: Putting Conditioning Back Into Strength & Conditioning
Welcome to Season 4, Episode 61 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel explores whether strength training alone suffices for health and longevity. She compares training stress, intensity, and adaptations of strength training versus high intensity interval training (HIIT) versus cardiorespiratory endurance training. Discover how both HIIT and cardio are forms of conditioning, and why both strength and conditioning are necessary "weekly human maintenance habits" for preventing chronic disease and promoting longevity.Sign up here to get on the Wait List for our next Bone Density Course in October 2024!You will also learn: What counts as exercise? Does HIIT promote strength or cardiorespiratory endurance or both? What is aerobic versus anaerobic conditioning? What role does cardiorespiratory fitness play in our strength gains and what role does strength play in our cardiorespiratory fitness gains? How strength training, HIIT, and cardio compare when considering the following: typical length of a session, work to rest ratios, relative intensities, common limitations to performance, and the specific adaptations each promotes. Is strength enough for health and longevity? Is walking conditioning? Can the fatigue cost of HIIT interfere with our ability to exercise enough throughout the week? What should we pay attention to specifically if we want to build strength with HIIT? What’s the best way to structure weekly strength and conditioning workouts, specifically when we want to do both on the same day?Reference links:Episode 6: How Much ‘Should” You ExerciseCDC guidelines on exerciseTalk testHigh-intensity interval training for health benefits…Episode 37: Plyometrics—Get More Bang For Your BonesEpisode 46: How Often Should You Strength Trainlll?Episode 32: Load & Volume…Episode 9: What Are The Best Exercises for Strength?Episode 23: Do We Really Need 10,000 Steps…?

In this much requested first part of a three-part episode series, Laurel and Sarah discuss the phrase long and lean from a historical and sociological perspective. They cover the idealized image of women through art with a historical gaze, then unpick the narrative around becoming long and lean, how diet and exercise became front and center for this impossible ideal, and where we are today with social media, photoshop, and AI in the mix.You will learn: How bad Medieval artists were at drawing human bodies How the Renaissance ideal form was the exact opposite of long and lean “Ideal” female forms through the 20th and 21st centuries The inherent misogyny, internalized anxiety, and social pressure of long and lean Whether the diet and exercise boom of the 1980s had anything to do with health Why GOOP is indeed a four letter word How ‘problem areas’ keep us busy objectifying our bodies and how this is a feature of our modern capitalist societyAnd more!Sign up here to get on the Wait List for our next Bone Density Course in October 2024!Reference links:The Toast Looks Back: The Best Of Two MonksMet Museumhttps://greatist.com/grow/100-years-womens-body-image#1https://www.worldometers.info/weight-loss/Diet DrugsFitness in the 80shttps://fitisafeministissue.com/2014/10/01/cankles-more-broken-body-parts-you-can-feel-bad-about-or-please-lets-just-stop/https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beauty/fitness-wellbeing/news/a37546/problem-areas-your-body-fat-explained/Latoya Shauntay SnellRoz the DivaRoz was a guest in our podcast - listen here@fatbodyPikatesDamali Fraiser
