Arvind Ashok: Fitness & Nutrition Simplified

I was lis­ten­ing to a pod­cast a few weeks by Gray Cook, and while he was talk­ing about move­ment fun­da­men­tals and screens, one anec­dote he men­tioned bears repeat­ing to my audience.

A client of his had been work­ing out for some time, but was not see­ing any fat loss at all. After run­ning him through a move­ment screen, they diag­nosed a hip injury. It had been giv­ing him some pain, but not nec­es­sar­ily only at the hip. After resolv­ing the pain, with no other change at all, the client started to lose weight. Why? Because his cor­ti­sol started to reg­u­late itself, rather than being peren­ni­ally high due to chronic stress.

Stress is a prob­lem, and you need to know why. A few sim­ple changes will impact your life sig­nif­i­cantly. Some­times it is rather sim­ple, some­times it is not. But it is some­thing you should pay more atten­tion to. If you are inter­ested in fat loss, reduc­ing stress will help you in that process. Big time!
