Welcome to the Get Fit Guys quick and dirty tips to get moving and shape up.

My name is Brock Armstrong and I am the Get Fit Guy. And you may not know this, but I'm part of a podcast

network and it's called Quick and Dirty Tips. And all of us together are now celebrating 300 million downloads.

That's bit.l.l.

and you know what? I may use your recording in a future episode. So go to bit. Dotley slash fit
