I was able to squeeze in one last ski day of the season early in May and man, did I shred! This solo trip allowed me to push as hard as I wanted and I was so sore for days after 🥵 Until next year ❄️ #skiing #palisadestahoe by @strongsciren

Great podcast from @foundmyfitness featuring Dr. Martin Gibala discussing high intensity exercise
My biggest takeaways:
🏃‍♀️VILPA (vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activities) is valuable!

I get weird looks when I run up the stairs bc it gets me places faster. Turns out, that’s VILPA! But even just taking the stairs is a form of VILPA

🏃‍♀️Any exercise is better than none!

This may relieve some stress on *how* to workout; as long as you’re moving, you’re already in a much better position

🏃‍♀️Saying this as a former competitive wrestler, HIIT does not have to be as *intense* as I thought.

Rough estimate for high intensity is 80% of maximal heart rate (mentioned in the podcast). This takeaway ties in a bit to the next point...

🏃‍♀️Adding intervals can benefit your workouts especially if you’re low on time.

Dr. Gibala mentions a small but well-controlled study that saw great benefits from even adding *small* intervals (65% of max HR v intervals of 70% then 60% max HR) by @strongsciren

LOVED this book from the Buck’s own @deenaemera ! It (briefly) explains a lot of female biology that I’d never thought about and left me curious for more. Also, a cool insight into the way evolutionary biologists think about scientific questions and hypotheses #evolutionarybiology #femalebody #femalebiology by @strongsciren

Last week, I got to attend and volunteer at three conferences in the Bay Area: Longevity Summit, Bay Area Aging Meeting, and the 1st Roundtable of Longevity Clinics. It was such a busy week, yet I learned about all the cool research done in academia and industry in the aging field, met the people doing the work on the research side and those on the clinical side, and thought more about how to bring this knowledge back with me into lab. Today, I’m back in lab using those experiences to fuel my next steps on my project! 🧫🥼 by @strongsciren

I love this idea (inspired by @hannahbower2) that’s different than a planned out What I Eat in A Day. This shows you generally some of the foods I tend to eat

1) Bagel with scrambled eggs and spinach and avocado
2) Caprese salad
3) Xiao long bao (delicious soup dumbplings 😍)
4) Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sandwich with spinach added
5) Breakfast tacos (scrambled eggs with spinach, beans, cheese, salsa) by @strongsciren
