A couple of months ago, I saw the signature microweights on the Omorpho (https://www.omorpho.com/?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw04yjBhApEiwAJcvNoVbe971JeoLO5JZjfLNpBO5eaAu31vDKgYdbKrJvJeIEwI3abFxzCxoCEAMQAvD_BwE) gear for the first time in the background of a workout on Bravo's Summerhouse. I thought, "What's that future-wear?" And then went on with my life. (Yes, I watch Bravo, but I wouldn't call myself a Bravo-holic. Except, please ask me about Scandoval if you see me in the wild.)So when I got my Omorpho G-tight (https://www.omorpho.com/womens/w-g-tight/) and G-tank (https://www.omorpho.com/womens/w-g-tank/) for myself, I couldn't fathom how this futuristic athletic apparel weighing in at under 2 pounds could enhance my workout. That is until I wore the outfit to an Interval workout at Studio Three. The treadmill inclines and sprints were decidedly more challenging. So, when I sat down to chat with Stefan Olander - former Nike heavy-hitter and cofounder/CEO of Omorpho - I understood the insight the brand was tapping into.On the episode, I reference the CrossFit workout Murph (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/murph-workout), which was my point of reference for using a weighted vest to increase intensity. You'll hear Stefan share that a Murph workout was actually a big inspiration for the company.But weighted vests were heavy, and I didn't have any burning desire to add 10 percent of my bodyweight or more (https://www.si.com/showcase/fitness/best-weighted-vest)to my upper body for a workout. But Omorpho weighs much less than a typical weighted vest and its evenly distributes the weight all over your body in the tanks and tights that I tried.On this week's episode, we dive into the science and the design of Omorpho.References: * Omorpho (https://www.omorpho.com/)* Follow Omorpho on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/omorpho/)* Murph (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/murph-workout), the CrossFit workout that started it all* Awe (https://www.amazon.com/Awe-Science-Everyday-Wonder-Transform/dp/1984879685/ref=asc_df_1984879685/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=564776326262&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=573394185450194933&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021717&hvtargid=pla-1656661996756&psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=aswli-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=02cd9be9f8137394c85d9b2163b2704b&camp=1789&creative=9325), the book by Dacher Keltner (https://www.amazon.com/Dacher-Keltner/e/B001ILFN0W/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1) that I’m obsessed with and have talked about on this podcast several times* Simulated hypergravity study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4050478/)(which shows that athletes got stronger and faster with added weight)* The Omorpho App (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/omorpho/id1525931560)* The study that upended what we know about calories and metabolism (http://nytimes.com/2021/09/14/magazine/calories-weight-age.html)* Dr. Huberman and cold (https://hubermanlab.com/the-science-and-use-of-cold-exposure-for-health-and-performance/) * Wim Hof and cold (https://www.wimhofmethod.com/breathing-exercises)* What’s biohacking?
