What are the common habits that all fitness freaks who live their lifestyle "effortlessly" contain?  I give you my top 5 along with a deep dive into each and recommendations to overcome barriers that could be stopping you from implementing them.  These are based off of my time spent training in gyms alongside bodybuilders and time spent riding and racing with world tour pros and world champion gravity racers.

We also discuss tweaks I've made to my training schedule to prep for the Everesting Ride #DHVERTCHALLENGE

Lastly, I breakdown my ride on the Specialized Epic Evo and compare it to my Specialized Stumpjumper.
