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

My name is Brock Armstrong. I'm the Get Fit Guy. And you know what? We all know that frequent

I stand by my claim that it is the alternation between

stress and rest that moves us to higher and higher fitness levels. I also still believe the higher

the training intensity and effort, the greater the need for planned recovery. I mean, let's face it, when you're under-recovered or overtrained,

I was so intrigued by the device that I invited the founder

and CEO to chat about his background, the science of recovery, and why he has dedicated

his life and business to ensuring we all get enough of it.
