By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Recent research on Brain Functional Training (BFT) suggests that traditional physical exercise improves brain health by encouraging the growth of new brain cells, boosting blood flow to the brain, and increasing its ability to adapt and change.
Protective Cellular Effect of Exercise
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Exciting new research has revealed exactly how physical activity sparks these benefits, mapping out the molecular pathways that are activated during exercise. It turns out, every time you move, your body is triggered to fight off aging, boost cell health, and keep you feeling stronger for longer.
Exercise Reverses Fat Buildup in Muscles
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Recent research has uncovered a surprising culprit behind muscle aging, and it could be due to the buildup of fat molecules in our muscles. These lipids gradually accumulate, fueling inflammation and oxidative stress, which in turn speeds up muscle deterioration.

Mitochondria and Exercise; The Key to Revitalizing Aging Muscles
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Research has shown that we can actively influence the health and function of our mitochondria, particularly through exercise. Engaging in regular physical activity, especially high-intensity exercises, can work wonders on these cellular powerhouses.
Is Exercise and Sleep a Form of Regenerative Medicine?
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Regular physical activity can amplify our body’s regenerative capabilities by mitigating the inflammatory and oxidative components, which are often the culprits behind impaired regeneration.
Hydration and electrolytes during exercise
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS For middle-aged or older adults starting an exercise regimen or plan, understanding the significance of hydration and electrolytes is paramount.
Burn Calories Outside This Summer!
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS In the summer, spending an hour or more in the gym may not be the most desirable way to get your exercise in. If you enjoy being outdoors, it’s ok to skip the gym and workout outside.
