Minimum Effective Dose for Health & Fitness

*** CORRECTION FROM AN ERROR IN THE EPISODE - I Misspoke and said zone 2 was 70-80% but it's 60-70%!!! Ever wonder what are the minimums to protein, cardio, steps, training? I cover it all here. We usually talk about health and fitness in terms of what’s best. That’s great! But what about when we feel like we want to make things a priority but want to make sure they dont take over our lives, or we don’t have time to put in towards our lifting or cardio we used to? Here are some ways we can fight the all or nothing mindset. We can put in minimums. AND remember we don’t need to hit these all ALL the time, we can choose the ones that mean the most to us, but they will keep us on the right path. Topics Discussed:
