Have you ever wondered if squats are really the holy grail exercise that everyone makes them out to be? In this Fitness Friday bonus episode, I talk with Kris Gethin as he reveals why he thinks squats are actually the most overrated exercise.

We dive into powerful tips for pushing through a weight loss plateau and shedding those stubborn last 5 pounds. We even get into more of Kris' contrarian training wisdom and expert insights on everything from cardio and hunger to the most underrated exercises you should be doing.
