'Soleus Pushup' Fuels Metabolism for Hours While Sitting

Hey! Manny here, and I just found out something amazing that I can't wait to share with all of you. Did you know that activating the soleus muscle in your calf can do wonders for your metabolic health? That's right, this little muscle that only makes up 1% of your body weight can have a huge impact on the rest of your body.

 When done correctly, it can elevate muscle metabolism for hours, even while you're sitting! And get this, the soleus muscle can sustain an elevated oxidative metabolism for hours, not just minutes, by using a different fuel mixture than other muscles.

Can you believe that this muscle has been inside our bodies all along, and no one ever investigated how to use it to optimize our health until now? I'm blown away!

So, if you want to take your metabolic health to the next level, give the soleus pushup a try. As far as we know, this is the first time anyone has developed a specialized type of contractile activity centered around optimizing human metabolic processes, and I'm thrilled to share it with all of you!
