Listen Later

There's more to life than getting really healthy and fit! (Which sounds funny coming from a fitness pro...)

I'm sharing with you my own past mistakes with obsession and how it physically damaged my body. 

You'll also get a full explanation of a balanced workout plan for those that still like to workout 5-6 days a week, but don't want to over-train. Also, great info for runners!
