178: Are you built for speed or stamina?

OVERVIEWIn this episode of Cheers to Your Success! In this episode, Ashley explores the two main types of muscle fibers – slow-twitch (Type I) and fast-twitch (Type II) – and their unique characteristics. You'll learn about the key differences between these fibers, including their roles in endurance versus power activities, their energy sources, and how they function.

She'll also discuss the significant role genetics play in determining your muscle fiber composition and how this affects your athletic performance. Whether you have a natural predisposition for endurance activities or power-based exercises, understanding your muscle fiber makeup can help tailor your training for maximum results. She will provide practical tips on how different training methods can enhance the performance of both slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers, regardless of your genetic predisposition.

This episode will help you understand why slow-twitch fibers are ideal for endurance activities like long-distance running, while fast-twitch fibers are perfect for strength and power activities such as sprinting or weightlifting. By learning how to create effective and personalized workout routines based on your muscle fiber composition, you can achieve your specific fitness goals more efficiently.
