In this episode, Ashleigh and Rachel answer questions about fasted cardio and their thoughts on male coaches who focus on female clients looking to grow their glutes (there are a lot of them!) 

• Is there evidence that fasted cardio first thing in the morning burns more fat than fed cardio?
• What's the balance with cardio that optimizes fat loss without adding negatively to your overall stress load, increasing hunger, etc?
• And the ladies do their best to convince listeners that more/harder cardio is NOT necessarily a faster and more effective way to burn fat.
