We are in for a treat today. When I say I'm excited about today's guest, it is an understatement

0:06.2

that I am super excited. When I found Dr. Alyssa Olenek, I fell in love instantly. I found a post

0:13.3

of hers about cardio and she was explaining how cardio is getting a bad rap and how it's not needed.

0:18.5

And it totally resonated with me because I do still feel a lot of

0:22.8

1:16.7

down a couple of different topics. And this episode was so useful that I actually decided to

1:21.8

break it into two different episodes because I know that this audience is busy. I know you're

1:26.4

a busy mom. And we try to do bite is busy. I know you're a busy mom and we try to do

1:28.2

bite size episodes. So we talked for a full hour. It was packed with information. So we're going to

1:34.8

break it into two different episodes. We're going to have a part one and a part two. In part one,

1:39.5

we're going to be talking about cycle sinking, what it is, what you actually need to know about it.

Is it actually effective or not? need to know about it, is it actually
