Episode 3037:

Nia Shanks redefines cardio from a dreaded calorie-burning task into a self-care habit that enhances health, performance, and enjoyment of life’s favorite activities. By shifting the focus from weight loss to functional benefits like stamina and confidence, she shares how cardio can become something you actually look forward to.

Quotes to ponder:

"Cardio is no longer something I do just to burn calories, and it’s not punishment for overeating."

"Doing something because you know it’ll allow you to do the things that are important to you, better or with more confidence, it’ll suck significantly less."

"It’s not what you do that matters; it’s that you do something, consistently."
