Cardio, Cardio, Cardio
In this episode we spent, literally, the entire time talking about cardio.
If you hate cardio and have zero interest in listening to two dudes talking about it...definitely don’t listen.
Or, you know what? If you hate cardio maybe you should listen (because you need to do it!) But what do we know?
If you want to hear us chat about why we’ve come to love it over the years and how we’re incorporating it for ourselves and our clients...definitely listen.
Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, we would sincerely appreciate it if you left a five-star review.
Thank you!
