Mark Parrett talks with Chris Cirullo of Mission Fit Dads about how to navigate the waters of personal fitness. Do you need a personal trainer? Do I have to have a plan? Should I be doing cardio? ...and all that sort of thing. Steven Manuel jumps in, uninvited, at the top to describe why physical capital even matters.
