Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. This is a recording of an interview I did for the bite size fitness podcast. I hope I got that right with Sam and James, which was a really awesome discussion and I had just come off the back of reading a lot about behavioural science and probably shows in this episode.
