Hi and welcome back to Get Fit Guy.

Hopefully last week's episode on The Nature of Self didn't induce an existential crisis,

and you've all made it back this week for another dose of fitness facts.

This week I'm going to respond to some listener emails with a bit more of a deep dive into one in particular.

became noticeable. Am I a special case, or am I doing something wrong? Recent example is I started

doing the previous Get Fit guys core strength exercises, and even if I do them for a few months now,

I cannot do more reps than before, and I'm exhausted. Do you have any advice?
