| 0:00.0 | What is up? Everyone, welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcasts. I am Tony. |
| 0:06.0 | This is Mariana over here. It is no secret. The fitness industry kind of sucks. We talk about |
| 0:10.3 | that quite a bit, whether it's the corrupt multi-billion dollar supplement in weight loss industry |
| 0:14.4 | or the endless supply of influencers promoting anything to drive page views. And we mean anything. The bottom line is we're not |
| 0:21.9 | trying to just provide another fitness podcast, but completely change the fitness industry for |
| 0:25.8 | the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools to give you the confidence in applying |

| 1:17.1 | and offset any negatives, especially if we're talking about improving your performance if you |
| 1:20.9 | work out later in the day and you don't want caffeine to interfere with your sleep. Before we |
| 1:27.2 | jump into the episode, quick shout out to all of our homeboys, home girls who gave |
| 1:31.5 | us a five-star review. |
| 1:32.5 | We reached over a thousand on Spotify. |
| 1:35.3 | Speaking of, this is our 50th episode. |
| 1:38.5 | Round of applause for you and I, we're the only ones here right now. |
