The Importance of Cardiovascular Conditioning

90% of my patients are exercising to be cardio vascularly conditioned, but they want to burn fat. Digestion will always trump any other physiologic process in the body.

When we were created, we didn't know where our next meal was coming from. We had to prioritize digestion.
