In this episode, Rick Mayo and Matt Helland discuss the science and psychology behind the Alloy method of training frequency.

With over three decades of experience, Rick and Matt explain why 2-3 days a week is ideal for the majority of Alloy clients, especially those 40 and older.

They break down the physiological and psychological benefits of less frequent, high-quality training, including better strength gains, improved insulin sensitivity, reduced injury risk, and elevated mood.

Alloy’s structured programming delivers a “minimal effective dose” that respects recovery while maximizing results.

Listen in and find out why less is truly more when it comes to lasting fitness.
