Coaches Kelly and JK share their personal fitness journeys and emphasize the importance of the right workout intensity for gains in lifting and running.

They offer practical tips on gauging effort levels, debunk myths about 'no-repeat' exercises, and discuss workout duration. 

The conversation shifts to the influence of genetics on fitness outcomes and how coaches manage client expectations. It underlines the psychological impact of comparing oneself to others due to genetic differences, the effect of social media, and the necessity of realistic goal-setting.
