684: The 5-Minute Workout That Boosts Metabolism, Energy & Reverses Aging with Ulrich Dempfle

“I can never get a good workout in… I don’t have the time.”  I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again!  In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer.  Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep.  So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically.  For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL’s unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health.  Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results!

So it's a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don't do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.” “Based on the feedback we're receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Get $100 off your CAROL bike HERE with code: MARIZA https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE CAROL YouTube CAROL Instagram CAROL Facebook RELATED EPISODES  #546: How to Stay Lean, Energized and Strong By Working With Your Physiology, Not Against It with Dr. Stacy Sims #646: The Number One Exercise Hack I’m Doing Daily In Peri To Burn Fat, Build Lean Muscle and Boost Energy & Mental Clarity #552: The Midlife Muscle Crisis: Why Maintaining Muscle Is Necessary For Fat Loss, Strength and Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon 672: Unbreakable: How to Build a Body And Life That Defies the Rules of Aging with Dr. Vonda Wright
