- 0:00understanding how our body works uh is
- 0:03very important to you know getting the
- 0:05best results possible from exercise and
- 0:07making sure that we stay in good health
- 0:09and understand how that can benefit us
- 0:11just to kind of explain this there are a
- 0:13couple different systems of parts of the
- 0:15body that are used when we're exercising
- 0:18the the most notable are going to be the
- 0:20skeletal muscular nervous and
- 0:22cardiovascular systems and we'll be
- 0:25going over each of those today and you
- 0:28know how they benefit us and and how
- 0:30they change through exercise so first up
- 0:33the skeletal system is actually kind of
- 0:36made of two major parts the first is
- 0:39called the axial and this is basically
- 0:41all the bones that are meant to protect
- 0:43your internal organs so that's your
- 0:45spine skull ribs everything like that
- 0:48then you have um your appendicular
- 0:51system and this is all of your limbs and
- 0:54most of what you're going to be moving
- 0:56in exercise to make sure that you know
- 0:58you're controlling your body and you're
- 1:01able to move around um your bones are
- 1:05constantly remodeling over time and
- 1:08sections are being broken down and
- 1:11rebuilt but as well with exercise this
- 1:15can help increase how much your bodies
- 1:18are you know building new muscle so that
- 1:21over time muscle can actually get
- 1:23stronger as a result of Doing exercise
- 1:26if you find someone who is you know um
- 1:30200 pounds of muscle they probably also
- 1:33have really strong bones to handle that
- 1:36as well you know bones are basically the
- 1:39structure of our body but they allow
- 1:41through Movement by their connection to
- 1:44muscles through tendons and then as well
- 1:46there are also ligaments that connect
- 1:48bones to other bones and both those are
- 1:51technically considered to be part of the
- 1:54skeletal system even though it's like
- 1:57not a bone they are considered to be
- 1:59skeletal
- 2:01material but with their connection to
- 2:04the muscular system there's a couple
- 2:06different things that muscles can do uh
- 2:09and these are the three types of muscle
- 2:11action the first is like a concentric
- 2:14muscle action and this is basically your
- 2:16muscles bunching up and tensing and so
- 2:18that's like you know if you're doing a
- 2:20pushup or if you're like curling
- 2:22something it's the motion where you're
- 2:24you're pushing away and you feel like
- 2:28you have you know that for that you are
- 2:30exerting then there is the Ecentric and
- 2:33this is when you're releasing that
- 2:35tension from the muscles um and this is
- 2:39also still a section where your muscles
- 2:41are being used so for example if you
- 2:45can't do a full pullup you're not able
- 2:47to do that what you can try instead to
- 2:50you know still strengthen those muscles
- 2:51as an option would be a negative pull up
- 2:54where you're going through the E center
- 2:55of the motion you're going down and
- 2:57you're just trying to slow that and and
- 3:00because that's still a type of muscle
- 3:01action it's just the Ecentric portion
- 3:04making sure that you have a slow
- 3:06controlled Ecentric will still
- 3:08strengthen muscles and the last one is
- 3:11isometric and this is your muscle
- 3:14ability to kind of hold in place and
- 3:16maintain structure without moving so for
- 3:20example a plank basically your entire
- 3:22body is is isometric but even in a
- 3:26single
- 3:28exercise you'll often get to where you
- 3:31know there's
- 3:32basically all three are used in
- 3:34conjunction so for example for a squat
- 3:37like your isomet in terms of
- 3:41isometric um just maintaining structure
- 3:44your abs are kind of making sure that
- 3:45your body stays upright while you know
- 3:49you're going to go through the Ecentric
- 3:51when you're going down and lowering your
- 3:53body and then the concentric when you're
- 3:55pushing back up um in order to you know
- 3:58get back to the standard
- 4:01physan as well there are a couple
- 4:03different muscle fiber types and the
- 4:05percentage of these that you have is
- 4:08largely going to depend on genetics it
- 4:10can be marginally affected by training
- 4:14but this is pretty much set from birth
- 4:16and is also one of many reasons why you
- 4:19should avoid comparing you know your
- 4:22progress to someone else in the gym that
- 4:24is going to be type one these are slow
- 4:27twitch fibers and
- 4:30uh they require less energy but like
- 4:33their total maximum output is a lot
- 4:37lower then there's type 2 a and these
- 4:39are your fast twitch fibers and these
- 4:42are going to take a little bit more
- 4:43energy for your body to start activating
- 4:47but are a lot better at short burst of
- 4:49speed and then finally there's the type
- 4:522 acts and these require the most energy
- 4:55and um are even faster than a type 2 a
- 5:00and this is you know like if you're
- 5:02doing a Sprint you'll find that you know
- 5:06worldclass sprinters have a larger
- 5:08percentage of type 2X and type 2 a than
- 5:12type type one um well like a distance
- 5:15Runner will have more of a type one
- 5:17fiber than type two um for weightlifting
- 5:20I think what I've heard is it's like
- 5:23preferably 60% type two fibers and then
- 5:28like 30% or so type one uh but don't
- 5:32quote me on that but that that
- 5:35is just one of the things that can
- 5:38obviously be different from person to
- 5:39person most people are very close to to
- 5:41like 50/50 in terms of how many type one
- 5:43and type two fibers they have and
- 5:45they'll have like a smaller proportion
- 5:47of type
- 5:482x um but as well our muscles are also
- 5:52broken up into different sections of our
- 5:55body and what those do so for example
- 5:58for like the blue blue and the green I'm
- 6:00just going to kind of lump these
- 6:01together as a lower body this is
- 6:03responsible for you know pushing up and
- 6:06being able to you know support your body
- 6:09as your you're standing so that's your
- 6:11squats deadlifts all our lower body
- 6:13exercises are going to affect these in
- 6:15some way we've go to the purple with our
- 6:17glutes these are responsible for
- 6:19stabilizing the hips and also allowing
- 6:23our waist to move forward in like a
- 6:26almost a thrusting motion um so you know
- 6:30like if you're at a squat where kind of
- 6:33your hips go back and then forward
- 6:36that's a lot of what your glutes are
- 6:37responsible for in that motion uh the
- 6:41ABS kind of lighter purple here those
- 6:43are of course responsible for you being
- 6:46able to you know do a crunch and bring
- 6:50your body really close together or
- 6:53maintain a strong posture while standing
- 6:55up um especially if you're you know
- 6:57holding on to weight everything like
- 6:59that
- 6:59that um this kind
- 7:03of almost pink red section here is the
- 7:07back this is responsible for basically
- 7:11every motion where you pulling things
- 7:13towards your body you'll use the back at
- 7:16Subway so that's you know pull-ups rows
- 7:20everything like that um the exception is
- 7:22kind of the traps yes that is that is
- 7:25actually the name for it is the traps up
- 7:27here if you want to work your traps
- 7:30uh that's more of your ability to like
- 7:31shrug your shoulders and bring your
- 7:33shoulders like close to your head and
- 7:35kind of tense there um wellas the rest
- 7:39of these muscles are are more for
- 7:41bringing like your arms back to your
- 7:44sides or like close to your chest or
- 7:48coming down from above that kind of
- 7:51thing especially with resistance your
- 7:53ability to pull yourself up pull things
- 7:55towards you A lot of that is going to
- 7:58use the back mostly even if you know the
- 8:01arms are also somewhat used there the
- 8:03back muscles are normally A Little Bit
- 8:05Stronger um but a lot of people just
- 8:07don't necessarily realize that they're
- 8:09being
- 8:11used the chest which is kind of the red
- 8:13here and all these more orange ones in
- 8:16the arm uh those are more responsible
- 8:19for pushing motions and you know anytime
- 8:22you want to move something away from
- 8:25your body in some direction those
- 8:27muscles are going to activate and
- 8:28helping you you know do that and either
- 8:30like curl things or like a pushup or
- 8:35like the shoulders are responsible for
- 8:37being able to raise your arm up to the
- 8:39side or in front of you um and then the
- 8:42chest muscles are somewhat used in
- 8:44pressing motions but specifically they
- 8:47are used
- 8:50for basically bringing your arms closer
- 8:54to the center of your body so that's why
- 8:58um just just a broad example something
- 9:01like a
- 9:02dumbbell bench press where you're using
- 9:05two dumbbells and then you're going to
- 9:07push them and they go kind of close to
- 9:08Sun of your body is generally better for
- 9:11working the chest than like a straight
- 9:14up bicep or sorry ah straight up bench
- 9:17press with like a a barbell or a pushup
- 9:19where you have a set position that your
- 9:22arms are in because it allows for more
- 9:24motion for your you know um arms and
- 9:28hands to go towards and away from the
- 9:30center of your
- 9:32body that is kind of how each muscle
- 9:35section of your body works and what it
- 9:37generally does there are exceptions of
- 9:40course and motions you could point out
- 9:43but it's a general rule that's kind of
- 9:45what these all
- 9:47do
- 9:48now with the different types of muscle
- 9:51it's also worth mentioning that there
- 9:52are different energy systems that your
- 9:55body uses to fuel muscles in different
- 9:58activities ities um
- 10:01and all of these are basically a
- 10:04different form of fuel for your muscle
- 10:06but your body has a limited amount of
- 10:09each so for example the preferred source
- 10:13of energy for your body is or your
- 10:16muscles for shortterm bursts is ATP and
- 10:19this is for anything that's very
- 10:21explosive so that's like a Sprint for
- 10:24example you'll notice that if you try
- 10:26like sprinting all out it's very hard to
- 10:30keep going at the same speed for more
- 10:33than like six to 10 seconds at some
- 10:35point in there you're going to fall off
- 10:38and it's because you stra up just run
- 10:40out of ATP in your body to go for a
- 10:44maximum effort push right away and
- 10:48that's where then you kind of go into
- 10:50more the shortterm energy sources um and
- 10:54that's kind of lasts for like the up to
- 10:57like 60 seconds of activity so this is
- 11:00where most of weightlifting is is in
- 11:02here especially for kind of operations I
- 11:04recommend to you uh but like if you're
- 11:07trying to like a one or at Max a lot of
- 11:08times that's solely ATP um and beyond
- 11:12that anything beyond 2 minutes is almost
- 11:16always going to be oxidative Energy
- 11:19Systems which is aerobic oxygen is is
- 11:22less required and so this is like if
- 11:24you're doing longdistance
- 11:26running um that is theend energy source
- 11:29that's going to be used for
- 11:33that um but of course you know just
- 11:36depending on the activity you're going
- 11:38to get into different ranges of how long
- 11:41you're doing something or how much
- 11:42effort is being put in and that's going
- 11:44to require different Energy Systems and
- 11:47then the efficiency of your ability to
- 11:50do that will be kind of mostly
- 11:52genetically determined by the types of
- 11:54muscle fibers that you have as well as
- 11:56just practice and building up you know
- 11:59your endurance at different
- 12:02levels uh muscles though are controlled
- 12:06by the nervous system this is how we you
- 12:08know tell or our brain is the one that
- 12:11tells our muscles to move in a certain
- 12:12way uh and the way that our muscles get
- 12:15this connection is from our central
- 12:18nervous system which is like our brain
- 12:20which then sends signals through the
- 12:22peripheral nervous system this is like
- 12:24your nerves throughout your body and
- 12:26then that connects to muscles with like
- 12:31a couple different sections um there is
- 12:35one specific thing that I I I think is
- 12:38worth mentioning this is called the G
- 12:41Gogi Tenon organ it is basically a nerve
- 12:45everywhere that your muscles connect to
- 12:47a
- 12:48tendon um and this acts as like a safety
- 12:52measure for your body to avoid hurting
- 12:54itself during
- 12:55exercise so the gky tendon organ
- 12:59uh registers how hard your muscle is
- 13:02working and if it's close to outputting
- 13:05100% effort every single muscle fiber is
- 13:08bunching up and being used in a
- 13:10concentric motion it will forcibly
- 13:13prevent you from doing that uh but
- 13:15through practice as you strengthen your
- 13:19um muscle fibers and your tendons
- 13:22through exercise over time your Gogi
- 13:26tendon uh organ will have kind of a
- 13:29larger threshold of where it's willing
- 13:31to work before it goes okay we need to
- 13:35stop pushing any harder because we might
- 13:38cause damage if we do this um but that
- 13:41is one thing that can potentially limit
- 13:45the maximum force that you could output
- 13:48is your body just going hey like we will
- 13:50actually hurt ourselves if if we work
- 13:52this hard but there is one other thing
- 13:55that is very important for strength and
- 13:58that is the motor units this is
- 14:01basically every section of your actual
- 14:05muscle that neurons are
- 14:07activating um and they are activated in
- 14:10order of like type one then type 2 a and
- 14:13then type 2x as more energy is required
- 14:17but as well um your body generally
- 14:20doesn't want to use
- 14:22100% of
- 14:25your muscle at any one point in time and
- 14:29so this is something
- 14:31where especially when you're a beginner
- 14:34you may notice rapid progress in terms
- 14:36of how much uh weight you can do for
- 14:39different exercises as you consistently
- 14:41practice and a big part of that is that
- 14:45your body is basically getting a better
- 14:47sense of oh okay like we're
- 14:50increasing uh the total motor unit
- 14:53activation of how many muscle fibers our
- 14:56neurons are willing to activate um
- 14:59whereas you know someone who is an
- 15:01advanced weightlifter they might be
- 15:03using closer to 90% of all of their
- 15:06muscles in their body um at once foras
- 15:11if you're a beginner it it's going to be
- 15:12a much lower percentage but that is one
- 15:15reason why people who are new to the gym
- 15:18will see really big increases in how
- 15:20much they can do very quickly is because
- 15:24it's literally just your body adjusting
- 15:27to actually being used in recruiting
- 15:30different muscle fibers over time um
- 15:34and making sure that all the muscle
- 15:36fibers are firing at the same time
- 15:38through practice this is where you know
- 15:41you you can reach a point
- 15:44where very quickly you go from um your
- 15:48type one's being activated to your type
- 15:502 a is being activated where it's almost
- 15:53simultaneous and that that is ideal for
- 15:56you know pushing as hard as you you can
- 15:59lastly uh everything in our body is of
- 16:02course fueled by oxygen we need oxygen
- 16:05to function and the cardiovascular
- 16:07system is what gets oxygen to different
- 16:10parts of our body uh but as well there
- 16:13is also a limit to how much oxygen
- 16:16different tissues are actually used to
- 16:19using um and that is called the oxygen
- 16:23uptake and through practice through
- 16:26cardiovascular exercise especially um
- 16:29over time we can increase what is
- 16:31referred to as the V2 Max which is the
- 16:34maximum amount of oxygen that your heart
- 16:37can pump through your body and that your
- 16:39body is able to utilize at any point in
- 16:41time uh but as
- 16:44well as you improve your V2 Max and you
- 16:48practice cardio and you push your heart
- 16:52um in ways that that are beneficial to
- 16:54it through
- 16:55exercise that increases your body's
- 16:58ability to be efficient with um the
- 17:01oxygen that that is being given and how
- 17:04much it's able to push you know with a
- 17:06lower heart rate so that's why um
- 17:09generally speaking if you're looking for
- 17:12cardiovascular health V2 Max is actually
- 17:16very hard to measure it normally is done
- 17:18in like a lab where you'll put on a mask
- 17:21um that measures how much oxygen you're
- 17:24breathing in while you're like running
- 17:26on a treadmill it's kind of miserable
- 17:29experiment not going to lie um but the
- 17:32next best metric that I think you can
- 17:34use is to look at your resting heart
- 17:37rate from a heart and monitor when
- 17:39you're not doing any
- 17:40activity um and as you do more
- 17:43cardiovascular activity um your resting
- 17:47heart rate will overtime generally drop
- 17:50up to a certain point you know at at
- 17:52some point I mean if it's if it's zero
- 17:55beats per minute you're
- 17:56dead um so it's it's not quite that
- 17:59extreme but if you're in like the 50s or
- 18:0160s that's generally extremely healthy
- 18:03and as well you know if you're seeing
- 18:06that you're resting heart rates at that
- 18:08point and you're actively doing cardio
- 18:11uh a lot of the benefits that pretty
- 18:12much every study has seen is that there
- 18:14are significantly lower rates for people
- 18:16who do regular cardio and any type of
- 18:19cardiovascular disease so you know
- 18:23anything that's related to that that's
- 18:24one of the biggest sources of death in
- 18:26America at least General mortality just
- 18:29in general and also just a general um
- 18:34decrease in how often people get sick if
- 18:37they are active in doing
- 18:40cardio so obviously there's a lot of
- 18:43changes that exercise can make to the
- 18:45body as you're doing it so just to kind
- 18:47of list them out again
- 18:50um bones and tendons can both get
- 18:54stronger by consistently exercising that
- 18:56makes sure that they maintain aain you
- 18:59know a lot of strength over time um if
- 19:02you exercise and do strength training
- 19:04versus not it's it's not even close how
- 19:07much stronger your bones are um I'm
- 19:09talking like someone who is 60 years old
- 19:11and has been active probably has
- 19:14stronger um joints than someone
- 19:18who is like 30 or 40 years old and
- 19:21completely inactive it can also increase
- 19:24the muscle fiber size and the count of
- 19:27muscle fibers that you have in your body
- 19:29over time this is you know one thing
- 19:32that we look for in changing kind of our
- 19:34physique is to make sure that we're
- 19:36building up the muscles that we want to
- 19:39in different areas because of both of
- 19:42these it can help reduce chance of
- 19:44injury from most things that can happen
- 19:48to you uh you know just by virtue of
- 19:50your body becoming more resilient over
- 19:52time from this we can improve the motor
- 19:55unit activation and how much more muscle
- 19:57we can use use at any point in time for
- 20:00different purposes uh as well as just
- 20:03our strength in
- 20:04general can decrease almost every metric
- 20:08of mortality and sickness and exercise
- 20:12also of course has a number of mental
- 20:13benefits that I'm not going to go into
- 20:15as much detail here for the nervous
- 20:17system but those include you know
- 20:19Clarity of your thought uh much better
- 20:22memory and recall um help regulating
- 20:25your hormones and a avoiding any Ute
- 20:28symptoms of anxiety depression and you
- 20:31know other mental struggles that a lot
- 20:33of people have so you know it's almost
- 20:36like exercise is good for you I I can't
- 20:40I can't believe it's it's healthy you
- 20:42know um the thing that everyone says is
- 20:45good for you these are the reasons why
- 20:48it is actually good for your body as
- 20:51well as I think what a lot of us are
- 20:53also here for which is that exercising
- 20:55can make us look hot as
