This is our latest podcast on Ozempic: Does it work? Should you use it? Should you start/continue/stop exercising while using it? In the past, I was critical of weight loss surgeries and drugs. But one experience in my gym gave me a different perspective. I share that story too: https://catalystgym.com/catalyst-blog/podcast/the-weekly-catalyst-show-march-3/ What's your experience?

I've been playing a lot of pickleball at a pretty high level (if I do say so myself) and I ended up with sore knees over the weekend. Does anyone have any stretches I should be doing daily?

I watched this short doc on the Norseman Triathlon while on the treadmill this morning. The manner in which this race finishes is so special. And crazy. These athletes are incredible and it was inspiring to hear their stories. I need some more docs like this for my morning sessions. Any recommendations?

With the first week of the new year behind us, does anyone have any resolutions they are implementing? How's it going so far? I have a goal to maintain the muscle mass that I've worked on building last year while in a calorie deficit. So far so good, but getting in that protein is always challenging for me.

I ordered these about a month and a half ago. Adjustable leg/wrist weights. I wear them for just about every workout usually around the 5-7.5lb weight. When I go hiking or walk to work I'll beef them up to the 10lb weight. I also like to do sit ups with them on my wrists, holding 5lb plates and do a 'wolverine claw' sort of move. A bit of a variation on the double punch you would do at the end of a sit up. Recommend. I'm looking into a …

Let's be honest: the standard North American diet is atrocious. And if you want to be healthier longer, you need to pay attention to what you eat. There are really 3 types of "diets". Here they are: Volume restricted—counting calories. Think Weight Watchers and South Beach. With willpower, people lose weight but often at the expense of lean muscle tissue. This can have negative effects on your metabolism. Macro restricted—Fat, carbs and …

Hi everyone! Is anyone around here interested in rucking? It's an up-and-coming fitness activity that's great for building strength and burning calories. You can make your own weighted -walking setup at home, or buy one like this from Goruck.

this Goruck backpack contains a 30 pound plate.

You don't have to go hard every day. But sometimes, you have to go as hard as you can. That doesn't mean you need fancy equipment or a complicated workout plan. The "fun" way to do it is with intervals; and if you can rotate between types of exercise, but still maintain a high intensity, it will feel like a game you play against yourself. For example, it's more fun to do a hard circuit of squats, pushups and sprints than to do sprints alone, …

Zone 4 training is where your muscles burn - you build up lactic acid and other metabolic waste faster than you can clear it from your bloodstream. You don't want to do this every day, but training in Zone 4 will prepare you for emergencies; help you get ready for snow shovelling; and trigger long-term calorie burn. Bonus: you can say "feel da buuuuun" in your Hans and Frans voice while you're doing it.

Zone 3 training is great if you're going to run a 5k (or longer), and want to build the endurance to do it. You won't use as much fat for fuel as you would at lower intensities, but exercising at 70-80% of your max heart rate has a ton of other values. When we get stressed at work, it's like a cardiovascular test. Zone 3 training helps us prepare for that test, too.

One of the most popular topics in popular fitness media right now is "Zone 2 Training". This is a heart rate zone between 60-70% of your max (but it varies a bit from person to person). In this zone, you're sweating, but you're not going so hard that you're really burning carbs for energy. You're mostly burning fat. What's more, you're creating the conditions to burn more fat in the future (maintaining lean muscle tissue, producing more …
