Episode Description
Fitness should be a three pronged attack including cardiovascular fitness, strength training and solid nutritional habits. Practice all 3 along with some stretching and flexibility thrown in and you are well on your way to optimal health. But nutrition is probably the toughest for most of us to consistently pull off yet the most important for body transformation, weight management and performing well at running or your favorite sport.
