| 0:00.0 | What up? And welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast. I'm Tony. And I'm |
| 0:04.8 | Mariana. And the fitness industry right now is just not what it could be. It's become something |
| 0:10.0 | built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation, just directing you away from the |
| 0:15.1 | stuff that actually matters. The bottom line is we're not just trying to provide another |
| 0:19.2 | fitness podcast, but completely change the fitness industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools to give you the confidence in applying the best possible training, nutrition into your own life. |
| 0:31.2 | Where today, I'm a little selfish, I had some fun putting this episode together. |

| 1:29.1 | followers, which is really exciting. I appreciate the support. And a word from our longtime sponsor, |
| 1:35.2 | Legion, who we love dearly, especially their protein powder. We talk a lot about Legion's |
