Agents need to stay in great shape to enjoy their jobs. We talk with fitness expert, Emmitt Terrell.

• Emmitt Terrell, the founder of Level Six Training, joins the Tar Life Podcast with co-hosts Melody Tate and Jennifer Stewart to discuss his business.
• Level Six Training offers services, including hit training classes, Small Group Training, and custom-tailored programs.
• The Weekly Lineup program structures each week's training for different aspects of health and fitness, including strength, cardiovascular exercise, metabolic conditioning, and weightlifting.
• The hit training classes can be 45 minutes or incorporated into other courses, depending on the day's focus.
• For beginners, Terrell recommends starting with two or three 45-minute classes per week and gradually increasing.
• Recovery from exercise depends on oxygenated red blood flow, so activities like a sauna or cold exposure can help.
• While genetics and extreme physical activity can impact dietary needs, nutrition is foundational for most people's fitness goals.
• Understanding the correct amount of calories for one's body and the level of energy expenditure is a fundamental nutrition strategy.
• The ideal Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio should be one to one or two to one, while the average American diet is between 15 to one and 30 to one, leading to inflammatory diseases.
• Ratfish liver oil is a good source of Omega-3, and 180 milligrams of melatonin in the evening is anti-cancer.
