    Sprinting definitely does make one's face look different almost immediately. I sent a pic of myself to my friend after sprinting and they said "you look younger" Sept 4 I made a radical change in my diet. Cut out seed oils, wheat, processed food, most sugar, and most cheeses (except cottage cheese). Started walking an hour a day and after a month I worked up to sprinting. I started sprinting up hills in our neighborhood, which stopped me from going too fast at first. I feel that helped me avoid injury. I have lost 18 lbs in less than 2 months. Thats two clothing sizes. And I'm 53 years old! Just added weight training recently to help get the next 20 lbs off. Going to ask my trainer to try the maximally intense method.

    I found out pretty quickly that I’m not going to be sprinting, I tried it and it took me 4 days to recover. I admire anyone that has the willpower it takes to adhere to this healthy lifestyle but I’ve got to have some sugar every now and then. I can’t cut everything out of my diet that I enjoy and I’ve honestly never enjoyed exercising.

    It must be nice to have access to a "free" MRI but the majority of us can't get an MRI unless we have a serious medical condition that our insurance plans will cover the cost of once they decide if it's medically necessary.

    If you listen to his other interviews he discusses strategies to access an MRI for reduced cost. Not free, but something one could reasonably save for, like $300-500. He says try calling around to all the MRI places in your area, speaking to the office manager, say you'll pay cash and go to whoever offers the lowest price (even better if you say you'll be back to repeat every 6-12 months). Forget about insurance. Also he hopes eventually more MRI places will offer a "single slice" in a standardized part of the abdomen which would bring it down to maybe $100-150. You might still have to get a Drs order for it but if they don't have to justify it to insurance there's no reason to say no.

    Yes, in other interviews he mentions that especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re very heavy, you can sprint on a bike or rower, etc. He also mentions to possibly start on an uphill when you are ready to take up actual sprints, it’ll keep you from going too fast initially, which can lead to injury.
