In today's episode, we shared several things we wish more women knew in their quest for better health and fitness. 

Here are some of the points we covered: 

1. A workout that mixes cardio and strength training together will yield limited results in terms of toning, metabolism and muscle development.
2. Random workouts are better than nothing, but for best results, you should follow a strategic program designed for women
3. Lifting weights in a group setting can actually be dangerous, because the trainer cannot provide adequate supervision and corrections to your form. This is how people get hurt.
4. Pilates, yoga and cycling will not give you the muscle-centric workout you need to tone your physique, stop sarcopenia and rebuild your metabolism. 
5. An inexpensive trainer is inexpensive for a reason (usually lack of experience, strategy and expertise), so proceed with caution. 
6. A high intensity workout that leaves you feeling sore and depleted might give the impression that you’re “getting a good workout” but this type of beatdown can create a hormonal rollercoaster and produce slower results over time.

Rod said, "99% of the population that works out more than 3 days a week are fluffernutters." 🤣
