Welcome back, Rally Nation!  Today we are going to do a little chit-chat on thinking of exercise as medicine or a prescription and knowing exactly how to dose that prescription.  Think of it as something I like to call a minimally effective dose.

As always, thank you to everyone listening!  Share this podcast with a friend, and let them know to leave the podcast a 5-star review!  Thanks for listening and run with the Pack!

Today, we have a very special guest for you and that is Coach Brad Raysby!  We dive into intermittent fasting, coffee, and how he is looking to impact as many people as possible at the gym every single day.  We also discuss why he sees himself as the 'Mission Chief' of the gym and why this is so important to him.  We appreciate you tuning into today's episode with Coach Brad and would love for you to leave us a 5-star rating and a positive review on iTunes!

In today's episode, TK and Bravo grapple with the topic of "How To Get Started",  both from a mechanics standpoint as a person interested in joining the Rally Pack and from a motivational standpoint in clearing that first hurdle of procrastination.

From the initial flicker of an idea that you should probably be taking better care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally all the way through your first 3 months at the RPE location you've come to know and love with your whole being, the guys walk you through the steps to start realizing a better version of YOU!

They also give us the scoop on what Rally Bucks are and how we can use those digital doubloons for a higher purpose. Spread the Rally Bucks love to purchase some health and well being for others or splurge a little on your own fitness wish list.

Also amidst the episode 5 party, we discover that Tango can indeed read as the guys share their current reading lists, that Coach Julie loves to blast the music LOUD on Fridays, and that Tango attributes his improved squat mechanics to a period of his life where he wore high heels for better depth.
