Both cardiovascular training and resistance training are necessary for overall health and improve mood and mental health.

“it's very very clear that we need both maybe not on the same days in fact I split them to separate days resistance training done for anywhere from six to 10 sets per muscle group either close to or to failure this could be with weights it could be with bands it could be with machines all of that was covered in detail in the podcast series that I did with Dr Andy Galpin an exercise physiologist who's expert in all those areas I also did an episode on a foundational Fitness protocol that has been distilled into a very simple three-page PDF that you can get for completely zero cost by going to hu lab.com and just put foundational Fitness protocol PDF and you'll be taken to that toolkit so all of the details of a weekly exercise routine that involves daily movement but also certainly in my case includes at least one full day of rest per week because many people do indeed need one maybe even two full days of rest per week so that highlights the third pillar movement but we know that cardiovascular training and resistance training aren't just great for our body they also improve mood and mental health that's so very clear from the research literature”

“I actually work out mostly for the brain benefits by the way like like if I don't get some form of exercise whether it's resistance training or doing some more cardio like I am not in a good space in my head”
