Welcome back. Today, we're going to be answering a question I actually got from a DM. I actually realized that I want to do more episodes where I just answer a direct question and then I kind of go over some solutions or my thoughts on that question because I've done now a couple episodes where someone has asked me something and then I've kind of made a podcast episode out of it. So today,

0:20.9

I'm going to do the exact same thing. The question I was asked on my Instagram, which is

0:27.3

deliciously fit and healthy, was do I have to do squats to be able to add muscle or see changes in my

legs? This follower went on to explain to me about some knee pain she has and some

0:39.1

hip pains and some other things she's going on. And I thought, this is a great question. I'm going to

0:43.1

address it on the podcast. And honestly, if you have a quick question you want me to answer, go

0:50.3

ahead down to the show notes, leave it in the topics. Tell me also down there, there's a spot

0:55.2

where you can enter guests that you want me to have on or shoot me a DM. I do read those. I look for

those questions and I do episodes on them. So I want to hear from you. I want to meet your needs.

and it just gives us more room to do more stuff together. Before we get started, I do want to give you

1:22.4

a heads up that my DFH resistance bands are on sale this week. The sale on social media actually doesn't start

1:30.5

until Friday, Black Friday, but I am going to give you a code here today early so you can get them

1:35.4

if you want. They are five long, thick, sturdy resistance bands. I started using resistance bands,

1:43.2

man, years and years and years ago because

1:45.4

they were so perfect to use at home on trips, on vacation, they don't take out much storage

1:51.2

room. That's a big thing. I've lived in a lot of small houses. I've gone on trips a lot,

1:55.3

and I need just small things to bring with me. So I got really into these long bands because

1:59.9

I realized, man, I can bring these to the park. I can work my whole body with me. So I got really into these long bands because I realized, man, I can bring these to the
