This helps spot time obstacles before they derail your health goals.Plan A & Plan B Workout Slots Build flexibility into your schedule. If your Plan A workout (say, early morning) gets derailed, having a pre-scheduled Plan B backup time keeps you consistent.Bare Minimum vs. Best Case Scenario Workouts To avoid the “all or nothing” mindset, define a simple fallback like a 20-minute walk on tough days—this preserves momentum without burnout.Accountability Partner Having someone to check in with dramatically increases follow-through—just be sure they’re consistent and committed (not a flake!).Combining Workouts with Social Time or Tasks Brad and Anna both love pairing fitness with other goals, like using walks to create social media content or socialize with friends for a two-in-one benefit.They also discuss tools Anna uses like Google Calendar for time blocking and Asana for managing task overload with clear project boards—though Brad sticks with simple phone notes for now.Anna promotes her free Take Back Your Time Challenge, a five-day immersive event where participants dive into creating a more aligned, balanced, and intentional life. It’s hosted via Facebook Live with a VIP Zoom upgrade option.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at [email protected] or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

From launching Evolve Gym in 2011 to adopting biohacking protocols in his 40s, Brad walks listeners through the most impactful strategies that helped him stay lean, healthy, and mentally sharp—especially after turning 40.Circuit Training: His gyms focused on circuit-style workouts—mixing strength and cardio—which kept clients (and himself) lean and athletic with efficient time use.Time Under Tension (TUT): Inspired by SmartFi Method, Brad discovered that slowing exercises down for muscle tension was just as effective as heavy lifting with less joint strain."Less is More" Approach: He now trains smarter—not harder—by focusing on minimal effective doses of exercise that reduce injury risk and improve recovery.Keto & Low-Carb Paleo: After testing all major diets, keto gave him the best results for mental clarity, fat loss, and managing depression—especially through insulin control.Intermittent & Extended Fasting: Combining low-carb with intermittent fasting (and 36-hour fasts monthly) led to dramatic improvements in blood markers, insulin sensitivity, and visceral fat reduction.Liver Health: After a naturopathic consultation, Brad targeted liver repair with Pure Health supplements, which reversed signs of liver stress and flattened his stubborn upper belly fat.SmartFi Machines: Used AI-powered resistance equipment to measure performance and discovered he could achieve major gains with just 1–2 intense workouts weekly.Supplements That Worked:Magnesium Breakthrough (BioOptimizers): The only supplement that significantly lowered his high blood pressure.Lifewave Patches: Helped heal a SLAP tear in his shoulder and improved his glutathione levels, boosting energy and recovery.Tiny Health Gut Testing: Revealed and helped resolve gut imbalances and food sensitivities like gluten and eggs, reducing inflammation and digestive issues.Brad highlights his free SKOOL community for people over 40, offering personal training advice, Q&As, and collaboration with health experts. Once the group hits 100 members, it will shift to a paid model.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at [email protected] or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

  The 20-Minute Workout That Builds Muscle Fast: EMS Training.Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Conrad Sanchez - EMS Personal Trainerwww.conrademsfitness.comSocials: @conradfitnessIn this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, host Brad Williams speaks with Conrad Sanchez of Conrad Fitness, a seasoned trainer with over six years of experience in whole-body EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation). They dive deep into EMS technology, its effectiveness, and its suitability for busy professionals, injured clients, and anyone looking for efficient, low-impact strength training.Conrad’s Background: A 15-year personal trainer, Conrad discovered EMS through an investor aiming to bring the technology from Brazil to the U.S. He became an educator for XBody and has since trained clients ranging from diabetics to busy moms to executives.What is EMS? EMS involves wearing a suit with electrodes that stimulate all major muscle groups. It delivers 85 Hz with a 350 pulse width, simulating 1.5–2 hours of weightlifting in a 20-minute session. It targets type II muscle fibers immediately—great for building strength fast.Benefits of EMS:Increases strength and muscle recruitmentImproves body composition (as measured by calipers and circumference)Low joint impact makes it ideal for people with injuries or limited range of motionCan improve VO2 max and HRV, though results varyEMS vs. Traditional Training: EMS is ideal for efficient strength training, especially when time is limited. While some attempt to pair it with yoga, biking, or other activities, Conrad recommends focusing on strength sessions for best results.Limitations and Misconceptions:EMS isn’t magic—you can’t out-train a bad dietNot ideal for targeting muscles like calves or forearms due to fiber type and risk of over-tighteningConsumer suits are simplified and not as customizable; education is essential to avoid misuse and injurySafety Warning: Brad and Conrad discuss EMS misuse cases, including a person who overdid it during a bootcamp and suffered rhabdomyolysis and temporary kidney issues—underscoring the need for proper guidance.Business Opportunities: Conrad offers:In-person EMS sessions in LAVirtual and in-person workshops for trainersBusiness consulting for gyms adding EMS servicesTrainer education across the U.S., aiming to build a trusted national EMS trainer networkEMS can be a game-changer for strength training, especially for those over 40 looking for maximum efficiency with minimal wear and tear. Conrad encourages anyone interested—whether clients or fitness pros—to reach out for education or training.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at [email protected] or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV
