We dive into why having a professional calculate your goals beats just looking things up online, and why not all workout fads on social media are worth your time.

Alex shares how to build a science-based fitness routine tailored to your goals, whether you want to just start getting into a gym routine, gain muscle, or lose weight. We also talk about dealing with gym intimidation, staying consistent with new routines, and maintaining your fitness while traveling - which takes practice.



We tackle some rapid-fire questions on balancing your diet with exercise, boosting metabolism, and the pros and cons of intermittent fasting. Tune in for practical advice, a clear plan to see real change, and a downloadable workout routine to help you stay on track!
