January 26, 2021 40: Just. Track. Something.
On this Episode I talk about the importance of tracking SOMETHING. You don't have to track macros, calories, workouts, steps...whatever. Just track SOMETHING. What gets measured gets managed. Tracking SOMETHING will help bring awareness and help you get a clear picture of where you're at and how you can improve. Often, that awareness leads to some improvements without much effort at all

Here's a sneak peak at what we talked about:
---
-Are BCAAs useless?
-Is bringing your protein shake to the gym actually UNDERRATED?
-Our thoughts on cardio for fat loss
-Things you thought were high in protein but actually aren't
-Foam rolling for recovery

Hint: (one of them rhymes with Billion Cycles)
