In this single topic episode, I break down the two different types of cardio/conditioning that are the most effective at improving your health and performance.

Many people don't put much thought into their cardio. They do it for the wrong reasons and/or at the wrong intensity. Just going out and getting tired should not be your goal when it comes to cardio or conditioning (or any type of training). Sadly, most people who do cardio do it with this goal in mind, because they feel a sense of accomplishment or because their favorite influencer told them something like "no pain, no gain". They'll gauge how effective their workout was by how out of breath they were, how much they sweat, how sore they are the next day, or how much the "kicked their own ass". This is not the best approach for long term results. 

Cardio can be great for health (mental and physical), improving your recovery, and boosting strength training performance, especially when done properly (at the right dose and intensity).

In this episode, I talk with my wife about the power of habits.

Most people think that crazy amounts of discipline is required to get ahead in life.

But most successful people have just figured out a way to make things habitual.

We talk about how to make something a habit, how long it takes, why it's so important, and examples of several fitness, nutrition, mental health, and business/productivity habits.

In this single-topic episode I discuss several training and nutrition considerations for hardgainers; skinny or skinny-fat people who have trouble gaining muscle.

Incorrect blanket statements people make about hardgainers
1. You should train less- why would someone trying to gain more muscle train less?!
2. You should only do barbell lifts- barbell lifts are important, but not the holy grail. To avoid injury, dumbbells, bodyweight, cables and even machines can help.
3. You should only do low rep compound lifts- Most of your training should be compound lifts, but isolation lifts can also help
4. Avoid cardio and all additional movement- cutting cardio will make you out of shape, less healthy, and less able to recover between workouts and sets.
5. Eat as much as possible with no regards to food quality- yes, you need to be in a calorie surplus, but anything more than ~500 calories/day will likely lead to fat gain.

Listen in for several more training and nutrition tips for hardgainers. Even if you're not a hardgainer, you can still take away some helpful information to maximize muscle growth from this episode.

My wife Monica joins me in todays episode.

We speak about misinformation and myths about female fitness.

Instagram has plenty of women putting out the right information, but even more who put out rubbish. We chat about why females are getting the wrong message when it comes to fitness and nutrition and how to go about it properly.

Included in the episode:
- Why air kickbacks, wearing bands around your knees, and doing circuits, aka "cardio with weights" will leave you spinning your wheels
- Dispelling the myth that lifting makes women bulky, and and should be prioritized
- Why cardio will not get you "toned"
- Many women don't eat enough protein; strategies on how to combat this
- Progressive overload and why keeping a record of your training is key to success
- There is no "female specific" strategy. The same things that work for men also work for women
