Want to do lower body on Mondays and upper body on Wednesdays? Or focus on specific muscles on specific days? BodBot can handle it all. Your workouts will reflect your needs, and no muscle group will be left behind. Achieve Your Goals We'll help you not only analyze your data, but make sense of it – integrating biometrics from your wearable devices seamlessly with and into your workouts. Your fitness is not a closed system, to the extent we can know more about key state variables like movement, sleep and heart rate, we can make your recommendations even better. Wearable devices help us do that. Intelligent Workout Planning Whether you have unlimited time or just a few 20-30 minute blocks around the week, BodBot can fit your workouts into any combination. Busy weeks, but free weekends? Done. Half-hour on Monday, but an hour on Wednesday and Friday? No Problem. Miss a workout? Have a new 30 minute window? BodBot's got your back, and will handle it seamlessly. Take Control of Your Joints Feel great with workouts that meet you where you're at. Traditional fitness regimens can quickly become inaccessible if you have injuries or difficulties with specific body parts. With BodBot's joint controls you're able to work out while minimizing and avoiding specific joints - to continue training in some capacity after one of life's inconvenient injuries or to more easily handle pre-existing conditions. The Best AI in Fitness Everyone has a different history: variations in posture, strength, cardiovascular fitness, range of motion, joint mobility and much more. These variations matter.

Make Every Rep Count Individual recovery rate can vary widely, influenced by volume and quality of nutrition, sleep, activity outside of the gym, stress levels, etc. BodBot adapts your workouts based on the soreness and recovery of your muscles; it responds not only to your ability, but also your current training state. With this responsiveness, it can more effectively dial in each day's workout, increasing efficiency while reducing risk. AI-Powered Nutrition The most advanced nutrition tools on the market. Personalized Nutrition Planning All of your nutrition targets are tailored to your specific goals and body. The nutrition requirements of gaining muscle, improving health, or optimizing athletic performance are all very different, and BodBot will recommend both macro and micronutrient targets accordingly. Data-Driven Your targets update to reflect your workouts. Complete a great workout? Need to refuel for next time? We'll help you consume enough carbohydrate to replenish muscle glycogen. Missed your planned session? No problem, we'll adjust your calories and other targets as necessary. Beyond Macronutrients Go beyond calories, macros (carbs, fat, protein), and even sugar, fiber and cholesterol with vitamins, minerals and more. Use robust nutritional profiles and analytics to gain insight and learn how to make healthier choices in the foods you eat. Deep Nutrition Insights Based on your progress towards your nutrient targets, BodBot will recommend foods to help you fill deficiencies. Need to hit your protein and omega-3 fatty acid targets? Consider salmon or scallops. Looking for healthy fats and fiber? Give walnuts or almonds a look. No guesswork required, we’ll surface foods and meals that best meet your needs. Infinitely Customizable Customize to your heart's content and all your health and fitness needs. Create your own nutrition targets - whether calories and macros or with specific micronutrient focus - and get personalized food and meal planning to reach them. Healthy Choices Get Results Our meal recommendation engine will suggest meals that meet your macro and micronutrient needs while matching your tastes and preferences. In the mood for Mexican food? Italian? We’ve got you. Need something you can cook quickly? No problem, you can filter by preparation time. Don’t eat dairy? Seafood? Grains? Peanuts? For these and many more, just update your settings and the recommendations will adjust accordingly. Eating healthy can, and should, still be eating happily. Data-Driven Health and Fitness Biometrics: the frontier of integrated fitness, nutrition and lifestyle. Every Step and Heart Beat Workouts shape nutritional needs, nutrition shapes workout capabilities. Life - sleep, stress, unforeseen events - impact both – that’s why every element of BodBot is built to work together, to adapt to new information and new states. Life can be unpredictable, but your fitness should be reliable. Miss a workout? We’ll adjust your future workouts and dial down your calories. Go on an unplanned hike? We’ll dial up your carbohydrate and calorie needs. Sleepless night? We’ll adjust both your training and nutrition targets accordingly. Lives and Breathes with You We’ll help you not only analyze your data, but make sense of it – integrating biometrics from your wearable devices seamlessly with and into your workouts. Your fitness is not a closed system, to the extent we can know more about key state variables like movement, sleep and heart rate, we can make your recommendations even better. Wearable devices help us do that. Just as a car monitors gas, speed, engine temperature etc. - so too do we measure and adapt to your body’s state.

This is perfect!!THANK YOU!!” - H_Blackstone Bodbot is amazing! Laurie Stacey "It calibrates exactly to what my body needs. I have trouble with my knees and Bodbot not only avoids stressing them, it actually provides strengthening options. It's created new mobility in my shoulders. Bodbot is very intuitive and lets me dial in to my body's current fitness level and goals... using whatever exercise equipment I have (in my case none). I have Bodbot Plus which includes the nutrition component. I love this thing. I can't say enough good stuff about bodbot!" The best adaptive workout app I've found Shawn Gillespie "This should be the number one app in every "best workout app" article. I have tried them all and none of them fit right. None of them offered this level of adaptability and customization. No matter what equipment you have. No matter how much time you have, it will adapt. Even down to adjusting based on your level of tiredness. Amazing." Never going back to a $500 personal trainer Adil R "I've tried them all, this is by far the best workout app. I used to pay $500 every two months for a PT, which I no longer need to do because this app has replaced the need for one. I love how it tailors my workout programs based on so many variables such as quality of sleep, fatigue, and previous workout routine. Never going back!" Professional Level Strength Training in the Palm of Your Hand Seth Myerson "Most people are not going to understand just how good this program is.As a former nationally ranked D1 wrestler who has participated in professionally supervised strength and conditioning programs, as well as a current BJJ competitor supervising his own strength training regimen, I am extremely impressed with the product. If you tell the application that you are experienced in the realm of training, the application is not afraid to recommend meat and potatoes, technically challenging exercises like squats and dead lifts -- often with low rep requirements (heavy). The application, through its extensive graphical questionnaire learns about your flexibility, posture, and strengths and picks up on weaknesses and imbalances, and seeks to correct them with cutting edge exercises. I have been using the product for 2 months now, and my gains in functional strength have been startling. My flexibility and strength in my battered shoulders has improved dramatically as well.If you do not like this program, you aren't doing it right. Pay attention to the back end -the fit test, scheduling, and equipment available functionality. Keeping your personal data up to date is the key to receiving a customized kinesthetic science based plan that will produce great results from your training time investment. The app even provides guidance for training time investment in the form a of a color coded slider marked at one end with efficiency and the other with effectiveness. Pick something in the "green" zone. Fantastic Application - Exceeded my Expectations."

He graduated from Columbia University in 2007 with a degree in Neuroscience. A shy fat kid A giant kind-hearted man, Eddie grew up obese. At age 16, through relentless training and careful research, he lost nearly 70lbs. After his dramatic weight loss, still at the age of 16 - Eddie entered college. Later he would study neuroscience with a focus on the neural regulation of appetite and weight. While at Columbia, Eddie also walked onto the crew team, only to fracture his back and gain a new and valuable (albeit painful) perspective on physical therapy. After rehabilitation, Eddie focused on strength training - gaining over 40lbs of muscle. Eddie has always been eager to help others through his experience, and in addition to training others, he also taught Nutrition and Physical activity workshops in NYC public schools. In his free time Eddie enjoys lifting heavy things (in carefully structured and planned training blocks), swimming with sharks (true), running with bulls (true) and wrestling bears (false). He also loves competition and, much like Charlie Sheen, winning. Sergio Prado  cofounder Developer and designer for BodBot. He graduated from Harvard University in 2009, and after graduation worked as an engineer on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. Throughout his childhood, Sergio was massively underweight: 120 lbs at 6'0" when he was 17. Through research and strength training, he put on almost 70lbs of muscle over the years after high school. Coupled with his efforts to gain weight, he has also pursued a rigorous athletic routine; he joined the Harvard shotokan karate team, and progressed to brown belt by his senior year. Sergio loves San Francisco like he loves high fives, but grew up in the middle of the forest in rural Missouri and will always be a country boy at heart. That includes a non-ironic love of country music. Okay, maybe there's a little irony.

I put on approximately 30 pounds of fat and in doing so put a huge strain on my body and social life. Each day I would get up in the morning and look in the mirror at myself and feel like I was the biggest looser on earth and I knew that I'd never meet a woman looking the way I did and I was really ready to just give up on life. I came down with a terrible cold and went to visit my doctor and after being told that I now had low testosterone, and high cholesterol decided I needed to make some drastic changes to my life so I bought a membership to a gym and began to work out a modest 2 days a week. I really didn't know what exercises to do and was really feeling a little overwhelmed with all the different information out there on the web. I was having a conversation with a co-worker who works out regularly and was asking his advise and he told me about your app. He mentioned that he has had great success wit it so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm amazed at how easy it is to use and how user friendly it is. I have been using it now for four months and have began going to the gym now 5 days a week and have lost an astounding 50 lbs of fat and have now gained 8 lbs of muscle. I am now able to look in the mirror each day and smile back at the man I've become. I'm so grateful for this great app and for all those that took the time to put it together it has helped me reach a small goal I had for myself and is helping me to achieve the body I've always dreamed of. Thanks a million. Sincerely, Ron P Charles S With the excellent resources available through BodBot I'm possibly in the best physical health of my life. Over the last year of following the suggest exercises in BodBot my body is stronger, and practically fat free. Completing the BodBot exercises four to five times per week has my belt two inches tighter and body fat level at possibly the lowest point ever. At 56 years young and coming up on the fourth anniversary of heart valve and aorta replacement BodBot is helping me get in progressively better shape without risking the excellent work from my surgeon and his team. It offers the variety and challenge levels needed to keep me interested and inspired to keep total body exercise a regular lifestyle component. I find the total body approach far better than the progressive resistance techniques used in teenage and early adult years. It's great to have the descriptions and videos in BodBot to learn new and get the most out of familiar exercises. The email and pop-up reminders are helpful motivators, especially on days where my motivation level for exercising is low. I appreciate how the exercises are adjusted when sessions are missed and the responsiveness of your team to questions and suggestions. It's amazing to experience how well the exercises work under the 50 pound or less limits set by my Doctor. Thanks to those exercises, I'm seeing greater levels of muscle definition throughout my body and realize that even a highly defined core is possible. Overall, I'm very appreciative of the BodBot program and look forward to using it long term in building a maintaining a healthy body. It's easy to grow bored of so many other programs. That's not the case with BodBot. My hope is for your continued success and that your program will be available for many generations to know the excellent results that you make possible. Regards, Charles S Shawn P. Hello, My name is Shawn. I was athletic in High School but let myself go a lot in the years after. I am a big guy. 6' 3" By age 33 I found myself weighing in at 460 lbs. I decided it was time to do something about it. Shortly after joining a gym and beginning my weight loss journey, a co-worker told me about a new web based training support program called Bodbot. SO after checking it out I decided to give it a try. I found it very useful. It helps me plan my workouts, keep a record of my weight, and many other features. One of the features I find incredibly helpful is the exercise library. It helps me keep track of the exercises I do and has many more that I can look through and try. Plus for every exercise is chart letting me know which muscle groups I am working for that particular exercise and a demonstration video to show me the correct way to perform the exercise. But that is only the beginning! To be honest, there are so many awesome features on Bodbot that I have not used all of them yet. However, the ones I am using are extremely useful. With the help of my Bodbot trainer and a lot of hard work, I have now lost 163 lbs! I am now down under 300 lbs and have lost 13 inches or 6 pant sizes off my waist. I feel like a whole new person and I love it. Thanks for your help Bodbot. Sincerely, Shawn P. Anoj N Hello Bodbot, I have always wanted to write to you on how you have changed my life and have made it AWESOME(I really mean it when I say AWESOME). I have always been a fitness enthusiast and have been working out for quite some time, for the past 3 years to be precise. I am also an athlete and hence fitness is of prime importance to me. I have always been working out hard but something that was missing was proper guidance and motivation, and that made me fall short of optimum results. All this changed when I came across Bodbot. It is revolutionary.In the past year, I neither had time to go the gym nor did I have any equipments at home, so I thought how will I achieve a good physique?Bodbot said, ''Do not worry, I have got the solution", and from that day onwards, I have been able to do many forms of highly impactful freehand and other exercises, receive proper nutritional guidance and motivation, I have been able to stay on top of my game(football) and have started to see improvements in my physique.Bodbot is the most amazing personal trainer I have ever come across. It has considerably increased my fitness knowledge. My story does not end over here. This year, my brother was diagnosed with diabetes, and one reason for it was his lack of exercising. He was over-weight.I could not blame him as he never used to get time to go to the gym due to his work commitments. He used to work for 14 hrs a day and naturally did not have the will to later go to the gym and workout. I wanted to change that, so I introduced him to Bodbot. Since he had never worked out much in the past, Bodbot was perfect to get him started(One of the best features of BodBot is that the user can customize the workout program as per his/her physique and past workout experience).Since he could workout at home and did not have to worry about the workout schedule, he decided to give it a try. It was not easy, but slowly and steadily he got used to it. It has brought a major change in his life and today, his diabetes is under control. We are all really happy because of it and a large credit for it goes to Bodbot. And today it not only me and my brother, but his wife, and two of my friends who are using Bodbot.The results have been amazing for everyone. I really wish to thank the entire team of Bodbot for bringing something so revolutionary into the fitness market.You are doing a really great job.Keep it up. Thanks and Regards, Anoj Steve B I signed on with BodBot in October of 2012. At the time, my fitness levels had gotten away from me. My weight had ballooned to 267 pounds, and I had cancelled my fitness club membership. I didn't feel healthy or confident. I was not in a good place. I set a goal to work out in my apartment, using BodBot for guidance. I would get down to 205 pounds by my birthday in January. I began to design daily workouts, following instructions, adjusting reps and times, as needed. My only resources were an old weight set in my apartment and a tiny fitness room with a treadmill and an old stairmaster. I found a weekly 5 K run that I could participate in for free. I had a jump rope and some med balls, as well. I didn't spend any money on new equipment or memberships. After the first couple weeks, the exercises started to take hold, and I fell into a routine. The flexibility of the workouts combined with built in "off days" allowed me to keep it going and not burn out early on. By December I had gotten down to 240. By January I was around 230, and cut to 225 by my birthday. I cut off water weight and managed to get down to 215 at one point. I had to lose my fat-boy clothes. I remember picking up a 45 pound plate from my weight set and realizing that, through Bodbot, I had lost THAT much weight in only four months time. My performance on the 5K run went from walk / jogging in 57 minutes to finishing in around 32 minutes. My flexibility improved and I maintained my strength on 1 Rep Max Lifts. I learned a lot about the different training disciplines. Now, several months later, I am still at 220-225 and am active in tennis and martial arts training. I have a much better grasp on my weight and could cut to 205, if needed. My most recent physical was in July and I was much healthier in body composition, resting heart rate, and blood pressure. I have also started my own business and am feeling much better in day-to-day activities. BodBot helped transform my body, health and overall fitness. It positively impacted my life, and I was able to do it without spending on any memberships or new equipment. Thanks BodBot! Chief Dear Eddie and Sergio, I want to thank you for what you've created here in Bodbot. It's given me the inspiration to get back on track. I am a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer who has fallen off the wagon so to speak. I went from a few hundred clients over a time span of about 4 years to zero clients. It's sounds crazy I know. I gained at least 60 lbs of fat, lost plenty of lean muscle and blamed both my wife and our children at the time. I went thru plenty of apps on my android, and looked at quite a few different regimens that other trainers and other people put up on different forums and sites but none of it kept me on track. I don't recall where I found bodbot initially, but, the way you guys have everything set up is simple, easy to use, and very informative. Although... most of the stuff here I already knew... the way everything is set up sparked that fuse for me. Not sure if it's the repetitive emails and reminders that kept me looking at this site and app but whatever it was or is... you guys did it right. Now don't get me wrong... I still slacked... but over the past 2 months I've delved deep into fitness again because of your constant reminders. I've hit consistently at the gym and have gone from 33% body fat to 22% (last time I checked). I've gone pretty extreme and your food tracker really helps when I need to eat and I want to go for that HUGE bag of Doritos or that Burger King Bacon burger.... It reminds me I have a goal. For that, I thank you both. I hope to be back to my 12% body fat sooner than later (If I could just keep those sprints consistent... talk about a love/hate relationship). My soon to be brother in law is coming from New York in a few short months to marry my sister. He's a trainer as well and I hope that we will both soon have our own personal training gym in order to help people just as you've helped me. Most importantly tho, you've helped me to have more energy and more of an ability to play with my little girls at home. To be able to run and chase them around and play at the park without sounding like a long time smoker suffocating from the lack of lung capacity to carry myself to the swings is one of the most valuable things I will cherish. For that... I thank you! Connery S. When I first started using BodBot, I had one mission. To get a better body and to increase my stamina. I constantly use BodBot, it fits around my needs and wants perfectly, each and every update helps with the flow of getting my work outs finished. I may not participate in the BodBot points all the time, however it gives me spot on exercises whenever I need them, it's a app I'll never see gone. As too how BodBot helped change my life. Before BodBot, I was only able to walk a mile, now I am able to run over 5 miles without needing to stop, if that isn't a great improvement to my stamina I don't know what is. I have lost 5 inches to my waist line, and not only that my fiancee loves my body, along with the added benefits that fulfill her needs. I'm a better person, and with that also smarter in my work outs. The perfect step by step explanation of each and every work out it suggests fits perfects for what I need done. The system flows perfectly and I have noticed massive improvements to my body! Thank you BodBot for giving my the support I have needed. - Connery S. Charlie D Dear Sergio and Eddie, I can't recall exactly how long I have been using Bodbot, but I'm sure you guys can tell me. It all began (great story start!) when I was shopping around on Google Play Store for an app that would help me with my goal of becoming stronger. I have been working desk jobs my entire working life (15+ years) and never gave much thought to being active, let alone being strong. However, last year, new to Canada and new to my husband's house, I discovered that I wasn't very strong. I never gave it much thought until I had to move furniture to clean the house and found that I invariably needed his help to do so, even though much of the furniture is on casters. I have always been self-sufficient, and needing help to do my housework was entirely new and somewhat sobering. Here I was, over 35 and unable to move furniture! Such a mundane task, and yet it became the driving force behind my search for something that would help me train to be stronger. While searching among the apps, reading user reviews and downloading the apps to see what they offered, I found Bodbot. Immediately I liked what I saw because it promised to take account of MY goals, MY equipment and MY body's limitations, rather than shoe-horning me into a process designed as "one-size fits all" (although that is not always a bad approach). Add to that the fact that it offered videos to help me with correct form, and I knew I was going to have to try this. Bodbot is also ultra-flexible, taking into account breaks due to illness or lack of time, and this is yet another feature that sold me on it. Months later, I have the mobile app, and the Pro version of Bodbot, and look upon it as one of the very best investments I ever made in myself. I'm stronger, like I wanted to be, and my husband stands back in admiration and watches as I do without assistance many tasks I never thought possible. I look forward to growing with the app, and I talk about it to as many people as I think might benefit from it as I did. I can never say thanks enough. I wish I had "before and after" photos of myself, but it never occurred to me to take pictures of myself to document my journey to strength and empowerment. However, I think these make fitting "before and after" photos for me: The weight I started lifting (15lbs) and the weight I am up to now (105lbs) Edgardo R. Since I heard from bodbot in fundable i knew is was going to be a great program. I have been working out since i was 12, and now at 35 I want to challenge my self with different routines, but I don't have patience with trainers. I have to admit I been using bodbot for workout ideas only, no as a trainer and always amaze me. I am a chiropractic physician with a medical weight loss department in my office. I encourage working out not only to help lose weight but most importantly to maintain the weight down and proper health. I give a great deal of information and in one of those documents I recommend joining bodbot, not only because is a great program and is been working for me, also because is an affordable one. Now i started to use bodbot as a trainer, changing the routines between gym and home and it works. Thanks Richard T Eddie and Sergio, Man oh man, how do I start this story. I ran cross country before I did swimming. I was noticeably stronger and faster, and I placed in the ECIC championships even after two debilitating ankle injuries. Between this and swim team I had a gap. Browsing the play store during a lull in school, I found an app called BodBot. Intrigued, I downloaded it. It was probably one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I set it at maximum intensity home workouts and set it for every day of the week, barring weekends so that I could recover. There were days that I cried and fainted I was in so much pain. But I didn't give up Going into swimming, I was stronger than ever before due to the intensive bodyweights that I was put through. I won my race at the ECIC meet (the meet I dreamed of going to ever since freshman year). I think I started sobbing after I realized how far I'd come from 7th grade in swimming, and in life (but that's a different story). Fast forward to now. I've been trying to work out every single day after swimming with protein shakes, and I'm seeing some very noticeable results. I'm weighing in at 155 pounds and 5'9. I know there's definitely room to improve (my goal is 165+ pounds before I'm happy) but I cannot tell you guys how thankful I am for providing me with this amazing way to start my day. I'd go on and on about how much Bodbot has helped me, but I'm sure you guys have other emails to read. Aidanman Hello, BodBot you guys truly help me keep the motivation to keep working out and I'm glad I discovered you. With your help I was able to lose over 45 pounds and I found coincidence one again in myself. I felt better about myself I was able to go to the gym and not feel people looking at me strangely. Without your help I wouldn't be the same so thank you guys for changing my life. Jonathan K About a year ago, I got a job as a design engineer for a forging company, modelling aircraft parts. 8 hours a day, I sat in my cubicle eating snacks without end just to pass the time. When the lunch hour came around, I had fast food 4 days a week. Coming home, I ate more for dinner, then went straight to bed from being tired. About 3 months later, I began to realize that I was gaining a considerable amount of weight...and so did my friends. My midsection was bulging out my arms were not too short of being scrawny and I was out of breath doing the simplest things. I decided to look up work out apps since I didnt want a gym membership and I stumbled upon BodBot. At first I didnt have much motivation because at the time, the hardest thing to do was to press the app icon. However, once I started, I realized it wasnt that bad at all. I started to use this app almost everyday, and along with it, healthier habits followed. I stopped snacking in the cubicle and started drinking lots and lots of water. After I got home from work, I didnt feel as tired anymore and worked out with BodBot on a daily basis. The app was customizable so that when the time was right, I increased the difficulty level. Initially I was only able to do 1 set of 10 pushups until I got tired. Now I can do 3 sets of 25 pushups without much of a problem. 10 pound dumbbells turned into 40 pound dumbbells, 1 mile turned into 3 miles, and 1 set of everything turned into 3-4. This definitely changed the way I looked and the way I feel. With my tansformation, it's hell of a lot better when I go road biking or play basketball. It's a crazy thought to think that I did this without a trainer or a gym membership. Im still a work in progress, but it's progress im proud of. Kellee F When I joined bod bot, I was looking for something to motivate me to keep going in my workouts, something to give me new ideas so i never got bored, and something that would show me what I needed to do for my body and what I wanted. I've always been thin so, not a lot shows as far as pictures go. But Bod Bot helped me to become fit enough that now I know that I can do whatever workout I set my mind to. My asthma is more under control, I sleep better, I don't get headaches as often. It is amazing the difference simple workouts can do, and Bod Bot helped me go from couch potato to fitness addict. Ben S Eddie and Sergio Bodbot has helped me lose a bunch of weight this past year and also has helped me learn more about what foods are good and in what quantities i can eat the bad ones. I started out with bodbot at about 255lbs or so. I was skeptical because I don't like keeping track of what i eat and how much, it tends to take away from the pleasure of eating for me. My girlfriend convinced me to try it so I used Bodbot for about a month and saw amazing results. I dropped close to 10lbs within that month and haven't looked back. I am now hovering around 240lbs and really happy with the way i look and feel. I will go back to using bodbot when i make the commitment to get down to 230. Bodbot has really taught me about the food i eat. It has made me realize that putting food in my mouth and not thinking about it is the reason why i gained as much weight as i did (i was 6'4" 280lbs at this time last year). I am now able to plan what i eat around my workouts and therefore not feel guilty about eating a couple extra carbs on those days. So thank you for creating this site, i have recommended it to many of my friends who have wanted to lose weight and will continue to use it. Ben Richard B I’ve lost a lot of weight since starting using bodbot back in October of last year. I don’t remember exactly what I weighed when I started, but I think I’ve lost about 20lbs total. I’m currently down to 205lbs and am in the best shape of my life! Thank you for all that you do to help keep me motivated and on-track! I couldn’t have done it without you! Hugo M I have lost about 15 pounds from my original weight of 145. Bod-Bot. The reason I started trying to become healthy is because my brother had End stage Renal disease. This is a condition where the kidneys are not functioning. My brother's kidneys were only functioning at about 10%. He was only able to consume foods with very low amounts of sodium. With this my I decided that i also must follow him in only consuming foods with low amounts of sodium so it would be less difficult for him. Since then we have both become healthier. Brianne H Bodbot is fantastic. Keeps me challenged. Keeps me focused. Takes the guesswork out of it for me. It's like having a personal trainer without the huge expense. My husband and I are huge fans and tell everyone about it! Thanks for making such an AWESOME website! Keep it coming!

Whether you want to improve your memory, enhance your problem solving abilities, reduce your risk of Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, or bend metal and shoot lasers with your mind – exercise has an important role to play in all but two of those activities. In particular, richer exercise regimens – regimens consisting of aerobic and resistance training methods, produce the greatest overall improvements in cognitive performance. Note, however, working out for sixteen hours each day won’t turn you into the next Stephen Hawking. There are diminishing returns, and the favorable cerebral environment promoted by exercise is only as good as the active learning that accompanies it. more BodBot Interview with Download Astro A brief interview during Covid-19 about BodBot, app development and the needs of our users in an unprecedented time. Rise of the Hardbodied Woman By Sergio Prado Yep. We've all seen this image on Facebook. According to this image, voluptuous women used to be the pinnacle of the female form, but now the ideal has shifted to the lithe. To be sure, the BMI of the ideal woman has moved downward. But now, another shift is happening. A new type of woman is becoming the ideal for society: the hardbodied woman. This shift has significant implications for women and their perceived role in society. more Become a Sex Olympian By Edward Laux Sex imposes a unique but rarely discussed set of fitness demands - many of which are easily trained. For the orgasm opportunist, it's important to have excellent cardiovascular fitness, strong and mobile hips, core strength and body control, and of course specific strength and endurance in the muscles of the pelvic floor. Let's examine these in turn: The need for cardiovascular fitness is obvious – it enables you to sustain sex both for long periods of time and for short but taxing sessions. However, the benefits of cardiovascular fitness in sex do not end there. Vascular fitness in general is important for blood flow to the genitals in both sexes, having the potential to increase the strength of erections in men and the efficiency of vaginal lubrication as well as the facility of orgasm in women. Declining quality of erection in men can, in fact, be a marker for vascular dysfunction, whereas exercise, and aerobic exercise in particular, has been linked to improvements in erectile function... more Depression and Candied Donuts By Edward Laux Candied donuts and modern depression share a common origin. We take simple nutritional and neuronal building blocks, over-process and over-stimulate them – strip out their fiber and social glue – remove the rigorous digestive requirement – and voila! a shining neon metabolic catastrophe! However, as tasty and colorful as that sounds – it is not pre-determined that whole grains, milk and eggs become shiny glazed donuts, nor is it predetermined or irrevocable that pristine neuronal networks become dysfunctional. We still have control over both the building blocks and the processing - you don't have to accept depression. Unlike processed foods, cognitive processes have a tremendous capacity for change and remodeling (literally from the creation of new neurons, to the connections and synapses between them, to the density of neurotransmitter receptors), and numerous methods - including exercise, nutrition and lifestyle interventions - have been shown to favorably impact both plasticity processes and depression itself.... more Nutrition for Fat Loss By Edward Laux To lose weight you need to sustain a caloric deficit. To preferentially lose fat instead of lean tissues like muscle, it is helpful to also consume a relatively high amount of protein, adequate amounts of healthy fats, and enough carbohydrate to replenish muscle glycogen and support moderate and high intensity physical activities (which will themselves also spare lean tissue)... more Nutrition for Muscle Growth By Edward Laux The nutritional requirements for efficient muscle growth are straightforward: Consume a caloric surplus, an adequate amount of protein, eat an adequate amount of carbohydrate to replenish muscle glycogen, and enough essential and healthy fats... more Nutrition for Health By Edward Laux In general, a diet rich in protein, healthful fats, fruits and vegetables – that minimizes processed foods high in excess sugar, sodium and trans fatty acids – will promote health and reduce risk factors for a legion of diseases. Note that while calorie management can be an important tool for health, the quality of nutritional intake is still critically important. To illustrate the point, a 2500 calorie diet of pure sugar and trans fats (warning, don’t try this at home) vs. a 2500 calorie diet of protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats will result in dramatically different health outcomes... more Nutrition for Cognitive Health By Edward Laux As the rate of neuroscientific research continues to increase, the effects of diet and lifestyle on the brain are beginning to be understood in new and very interesting ways. It appears that a properly structured diet can not only reduce the risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s, but also favorably impact brain plasticity processes like neurogenesis. Of course, while this is very exciting, it is probably best to understand the role of diet in cognitive performance as 1) the prevention of nutritional deficiencies and 2) the prevention of nutritional insults. Evidence for further cognitive improvements beyond these activities is limited, and your personal quest for telepathic omniscience may not be satisfied by diet alone... more Nutrition for Sexual Health By Edward Laux Sexual health is intimately intertwined with cardiovascular health, and for this reason there is a tremendous overlap between this goal and general health. In men erectile dysfunction can be a predictor for cardiovascular disease, and erectile dysfunction is frequently co-morbid with cardiometabolic risks like hypertension. In women a variety of cardiometabolic risk factors are also associated with an increased prevalence of sexual dysfunction. For more information on the high level health recommendations that can improve cardiometabolic health (and thereby sexual health) - please see on the basic health goal. Now, that said, there are a few nutrients worth a slight extra consideration for sexual health: more Nutrition for Fat Loss and Muscle Growth By Edward Laux Losing fat while gaining muscle can be tricky, and many people will get their best results alternating between periods explicitly devoted towards losing fat and periods devoted to gaining muscle. That said, it is certainly possible, and if you are 1) new to resistance training, or 2) coming back to resistance training after a prolonged lay-off, or 3) obese - it may be very achievable (although if you are obese, you might wish to start with fat loss as your goal)... more Ew. Making chocolate banana pudding out of cottage cheese By Sergio Prado 1991, rural Missouri. I'm sitting on the floor in my room with a bounty of peanut butter in front of me. I start pouring half a bag of sugar onto the peanut butter as my mother looks into the room. Her mouth agape, she shakes her head, and closes the door. You can imagine how daunting "eating healthy" was to me when I started. Eating healthy is just code for eating food that tastes like wet sand (although my mother tells me I ate that as well…Sergio for the win.) Apparently not. At all. Motivated by my hedonistic love of food and enabled by my lack of shame, I've come up with many recipes/concoctions that are 1) healthy enough to be at the core of my diet, and 2) are effing tasty, almost as good as their unhealthy counterparts. more First Post!
