Weekly questions:
How can I shrink my waist? Is it even possible outside of just losing fat? Also how do I lose more stomach fat LOL?
Question for Kyle because I know he has run a marathon before. How do I get into running? I ran a bit as a kid but I don’t really understand how to start as silly as that sounds. Like do I just run until I can’t? Can i walk or do I need to start with a certain interval?
How can I sculpt more muscle to my body? I feel like I have some muscle but just look so average when some people at the gym look so good. There muscles are so much bigger and rounder, is it genetics or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.

| 0:19.2 | is the things that you shouldn't be doing |
| 0:21.0 | because these are the things that really hold you back. They drain your wallet, they waste your time, they waste your energy, and they give you a false sense of like you're doing something. They make you feel like, oh, I'm doing all this great stuff, and then you're not actually doing anything, and you're only hurting yourself. A couple other things would even just be like endless ab exercises, right? |
| 0:39.3 | To this day I will see someone, like I've seen them on the ab machine, |
| 0:42.3 | the ab crunch machine and the ab twist machine, |
| 0:45.3 | probably every single time I've ever been in the gym, |
| 0:47.3 | and they haven't seen any change at all. |
| 0:49.3 | And so these are the things you want to avoid doing |
| 0:52.3 | because it is just a complete waste, |
