I am so excited for this series!!! I love how you broke down the research.
I do have a question, and I hope you could do the research to answer it. Basically, I started a workout program similar to barre, where there is a lot of repetition of small movements to feel the "burn." From my understanding, this meant my muscles were getting stronger.
When I talked to my partner who has a masters in kinesiology, he said that the "burn" is actually a lack of blood (or oxygen? I was trying to listen LOL) in the muscles. This sensation is actually a different process in your body than when you lift weights and is not as effective for building muscle.
I would love to hear about what the research says for the upsides/downsides for workouts like barre/pilates (minimal weights and focusing on the "burn") as opposed to weight lifting. Is the research broken down into gender specific benefits? I also know that my husband got his degree in 2019, so I was curious to see how the research has changed since then. I hope this makes sense!
This totally makes sense and is a FABULOUS question. I’m working on a follow up post with repeated questions I was getting, and am working on it at present :)
Oh my gosh! Thanks for taking the time to read the studies and give an analysis, I’ve known that 10k was a marketing strategy but I didn’t know what the right range was. This was great info, thorough and digestible.
