Losing Weight and Reducing Injuries with Infrared Isometrics. During a recent podcast titled “Found my Fitness” with Rhonda Patrick, listeners learned the values of combining exercising and heat.
IT'S TIME TO TURN UP THE HEAT
Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., is a published scientist and health educator in San Diego. She focuses on promoting strategies for increasing health, well-being, and cognitive and physical performance and includes interviews with many scientists. Dr. Patrick’s focus areas include micronutrient deficiencies and the benefits of exposing the body to stressors, such as through sauna use or heat stress.
During her podcast discussions about the use of heat, she explained the benefits. Radom-action control trials have proved that sauna with exercise produces beneficial results. Synergistic and outer effects come with health makers and profound objective results.Heat with exercise lowers the risk of:
Respiratory diseases
Cardio diseases
Mortality
Alzheimer’s Disease
Pulmonary diseases
Depression
Elevating your core body temperature by 2 degrees changes health outcomes. Sauna and other forms of thermal therapy promote mental well-being by releasing endorphins. Also, the body releases dimorphism, which is the uncomfortable feeling you get physically. It changes the sensitivities of your brain to endorphins. The dimorphism only happens with thermal heat, like inferred heat. Other avenues that offer similar results for heat shock protein include:
Hot baths
Sauna
Inferred
Exercise in heat
Molecular chaperons inside cells make specific proteins take on their three-dimensional shapes, and do what they are supposed to do. Infrared heat with exercise is responsible for preventing plaque aggregation in the brain.
As a result, you can improve cognitive, physical, and mental performance with cutting-edge resources. This process is achievable low-hanging fruit based on accurate data and new research. There are four main areas of exercise: endurance, flexibility, strength, and balance. Isometric workouts address all four areas very well.
When you go beyond strength training with infrared isometrics to address endurance, flexibility, and balance, you will see a marked improvement in movement performance. Infrared Isometrics improves all the four areas of fitness mentioned above.
Greater flexibility prevents injury.
Infrared isometrics is especially effective for stretching. The heat primes your muscles for added flexibility. The heat generated from infrared exercise absorbs within the body due to deep penetration from infrared energy waves. The use of heat as a good stressor is one of the reasons for the popularization of hot yoga worldwide.
HOTWORX first introduced infrared hot yoga in a sauna. The HOTWORX franchise, using a patented infrared sauna, actually offers multiple types of hot isometric-based workouts, beyond just yoga, that incorporate stretching and foam rolling to elevate flexibility.
Based on the proven research that produces significant results, infrared heat exercise is the way to go. It’s time to turn up the heat, lose weight, and reduce injuries.
