Summary
I'm pulling back the curtain today and sharing with you how my training has evolved over the years, what's been proven to work, and what will likely get you nowhere but frustrated and injured.
A lot has changed since I started training in 1986 and I've experimented with countless programs and methods over the years.
Some worked and led to amazing results for me and my clients, but others?
Not so much.
Press play to find out what these past 30+ years of trial and error have taught me, and the methods you should be utilizing and avoiding to get the results you want, faster...
- A sneak peek into my training evolution: 1986 to today (and some lessons I picked up along the way). [0:24]
- How much cardio do you REALLY need? [20:15]
- Beware of this when switching to barefoot shoes. [21:24]
