Exercise Snacking and Nutrition 101
Hey FASTer Way fam! On a recent podcast episode, we had the chance to chat with Joey Thurman, author of "The Minimum Method." Joey dropped so much amazing knowledge that aligned perfectly with our philosophy. We wanted to recap a couple key points for you today.
First up, let's talk about exercise snacking. We all know we should be moving more, but sometimes it's just hard to carve out a full hour for a workout. That's where exercise snacking comes in. The idea is to break exercise up into shorter, 7-10 minute chunks sprinkled throughout your day.
Here are a Few Ways to 'Snack'
- Go for a 10-minute walk after meals (Joey calls these "fart walks" - ha!).
- Do 5 sets of arm exercises between meetings.
- Bike uphill for 7 minutes during your lunch break.
"Calories determine your weight, macros determine how you look, and micros determine how you feel, " Joey Thurman, author, The Minimum Method.
Calories, Macros and Micros
Calories are all about energy balance. If you're wanting to lose weight, you'll need a calorie deficit. But yo-yo dieting and drastic restrictions are unsustainable. We focus on moderate, realistic deficits paired with strength training to maximize fat loss and protect metabolism.
Macros are your protein, carbs, and fats. Adequate protein builds muscle and keeps you satisfied. Healthy fats support hormone health. And nutrient-dense carbs fuel your workouts and brain. Nailing your macro targets determines your body composition.
Finally, micros are the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. that keep every system in your body running smoothly. Prioritizing micronutrient-rich whole foods makes you feel energized, focused, and ready to conquer your day.
Small, sustainable habits like exercise snacking and balanced nutrition are the real keys to health and fitness for life. Keep snacking, keep fueling that body right, and follow the FASTer Way!
