| 0:00.0 | Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it is Chris Gethin here. Welcome back to the Knowledge and Mileage |
| 0:09.8 | podcast. This is a series of eight episodes at the moment devoted to the hardcore video trainer. |
| 0:19.1 | This is the eight-week hardcore video trainer that is for free on |
| 0:23.6 | cagemuscle.com. It's a daily video trainer that you follow every single day. It doesn't matter |

| 1:25.7 | This is your opportunity to get creative, but you train the same |
| 1:30.6 | muscle groups just with a similar exercise doesn't have to be the same. So if I am, for instance, |
| 1:37.5 | using a hack squat, but you don't have a hack squat in your gym, that's okay. Go to the leg press. |
| 1:42.7 | However, make sure your feet are at the |
| 1:44.9 | bottom of the plate, of the platform, and make sure that you push through the fronts of your feet |
