Even if you don’t want a muscular appearance, you better have an efficient amount of it👍🏽👌🏽.

1. Higher Muscle Mass Is Linked to Lower Mortality Risk
•Correlation: People with greater muscle mass tend to live longer than those with low muscle mass.
**Why: Muscle mass improves metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and overall physical resilience. Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) is associated with increased mortality, especially in older adults.

2. Muscle Strength (Not Just Size) Predicts Longevity
•Correlation: Muscle strength particularly grip strength and leg power is a stronger predictor of longevity than muscle size alone.
**Why: Strength is a proxy for overall physical function and vitality. Low muscle strength is associated with higher risk of falls, frailty, hospitalization, and early death.

3. Muscle Mass Protects Against Chronic Diseases
•Correlation: Higher muscle mass is associated with lower incidence of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer all major causes of early death.
**Why: Muscle tissue helps regulate blood glucose, supports a healthy inflammatory profile, and buffers against catabolic stress during illness or injury.

This bring us to the subject of NEAT(non-exercise activity thermogenesis). For those that don’t know this is all the movement and activity throughout the day that is not your scheduled workout bout.

As far as your TDEE(total daily energy expenditure), your NEAT counts for up to 20% your total daily calories burned. That’s about double of your actual scheduled workout.

Step count is the most common way to monitor your NEAT.

4,000 steps/day= around 200-250 kcals

7, 000 steps/day= around 350-400 kcals

10,000 steps/day= around 500-600 kcals
.of course these numbers vary depending on the height and weight of the person. Thenumbers given are based off averages.

However, steps are not the only way to up your NEAT. Common housework chores, laundry, yardwork, all counts towards your NEAT.

The Takeaway is, it is important to stay active throughout the day as much as possible. If you’re only working hard during your scheduled workout session, then you are leaving some fat loss on the table.

Remember that low intensity/low heart rate activity uses fat as its main fuel source.👌🏽👌🏽

Wouldn’t surprise me if the majority of us are pre-diabetic. I’ve had an A1C as high as 5.6 myself whey I used to overdo carbs.

Resistance training is especially powerful for managing pre-diabetes because it directly improves how your body handles glucose and insulin. Here are the 3 main ways it helps:

Increases Insulin Sensitivity

• Resistance training makes your muscles more responsive to insulin, so your body doesn’t need to produce as much to manage blood sugar.

• After a workout, muscles pull glucose from the bloodstream more effectively, lowering blood sugar levels.

• While resistance training builds muscle, it also helps reduce visceral fat (fat around organs), which is closely linked to insulin resistance.

**Remember..muscle is your glucose storage space, so more is better‼️💪🏽

If you responded, lmk what is the “other”..😬😊.. I am very curious.

Me personally, I pretty much do them all. And they each have their individual benefits.

What’s most important is, that you do something for recovery. If there’s something that you wanna try, but haven’t..I definitely recommend you give it a shot.

Even the outlandish stuff, like sensory deprivation(which I’ve also tried couple times) can put you in a rest and digest/parasympathetic state better than you might expect.

If you’re living a high cortisol life, I can’t express how important these dedicated recovery bouts are to your fitness results/gains, and your health overall.

For anyone 30+ who’s busy, i@ talking to you😉‼️

Have any questions on this subject matter, dm here on Ig🤙🏽👍🏽

Ever notice ppl with more muscle can eat quite a bit more with out gaining body fat.. here’s a few reasons why😎

1. Higher Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Muscle tissue is metabolically active, meaning it burns calories even at rest. For each additional pound of muscle, your body burns more energy just to maintain it.
• More muscle = higher baseline calorie burn, even while sleeping or sitting.

⸻

2. Improved Insulin Sensitivity

Muscle acts as a glucose sink, meaning it helps remove sugar from the bloodstream and store it as glycogen.
• More muscle improves your body’s ability to handle carbohydrates, making it less likely to store excess carbs as fat.

⸻

3. Greater Energy Expenditure During Movement

Muscles require more energy to function during physical activity. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn during:
• Workouts
• Daily tasks
• Even things like walking or standing

⸻

4. Higher Post-Exercise Caloric Burn (EPOC)

Resistance training increases Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)—the calories your body burns after workouts to recover.
• More muscle = more intense training potential = greater afterburn effect.

Lack of equipment should never be a reason to not exercise‼️

Even if your goal is strengthen hypertrophy, there’s still plenty of ways to go about that with little to no equipment. If you have no idea to had to attack this, give me a DM and we can chat about it.

On matfit.org I have to workout programs available that require little to no equipment.

- “Fit 15” only requires one or two pairs of dumbbells. This program is four weeks long, six days a week, if you’re not ready for six days a week..four days a week for 15 minutes is a great starting point

-I also have an all body weight program called “Anytime anyplace” this requires no equipment… However a bench/chair and a wall would b helpful.

any questions give me a DM😉😉‼️

It’s crazy, but also understandable how people don’t understand the need and importance of rest and recovery.

I think it’s easy to just assume more is better. In some facets of life this is true, however definitely not in fitness. This is especially true if you’re only going for aesthetics/appearance and not performance. I think that is most folks out there🤔.

i’m glad and lucky to teach these basic principles, that make a big difference in your understanding and relationship with fitness. Of course obsession is usually not a good thing.. especially if it’s not your actual full-time job.

Work hard and recovery just as hard.😉😎 The trueness of this only increases as we age, and try to maintain fit bodies.

Of course alcohol is a poison and toxin to our body, but what the point of being healthy, happy, and fit, if you can’t go out and enjoy a little social time with friends.

One could even argue that without a healthy social life, that life is not as balanced and fulfilling as it should/could be.

Of course we’re talking about moderation, and you have an alcoholic abuse problem, then I am not talking to you.

I believe in a balanced approach to this thing we call Life. It includes a fit strong body as well as satisfying social experiences.

Wanna learn how to juggle this while staying focused on health and fitness, contact me via DM to get this discussion started with a free consultation. 😉
