Slow-motion strength training powers muscle, fat-loss, and longevity.

 

“Effective strength training and good nutrition are the two biggest levers for improving health and fitness.”

We’re continuing to look at the story of our founder, Matt Hedman. In this week’s episode, Matt shares a detailed breakdown of the revolutionary method behind the FastFit™ technology: slow-motion strength training. You’ll learn how this technique not only develops muscle but also helps you shed fat and gain strength, emphasizing quality over quantity in your workouts. This is where it all began.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Matt’s go-to exercise, the lat pulldown, and why it’s his favorite for targeting multiple upper body muscles
  • Why the abdominal exercise isn’t a top choice for Matt, and what he prefers to focus on instead
  • The biomechanics of a slow-motion leg press and how it achieves “muscle success”
  • The critical role of lean muscle in preventing age-related sarcopenia
  • Matt’s personal success story of losing 50 pounds of fat through strategic strength training and nutrition
  • The evidence from Ellington Darden’s study on the superiority of strength training for fat loss over aerobics
