Ep 58 | Find a Good Trainer, Be Reasonable, and We Blow the Lid off Big Coconut We jump right into some listening questions from a previous episode related to ramping up your training and intensity. With some clarification, we determine that the client-trainer relationship was perhaps not a great fit. Other topics include: how to do a proper plank, are bodyweight exercises considered resistance training, and how do we reconcile the need to do increasingly more volume/intensity with your ability to recovery. The bulk this show is dedicated to a position statement from the American Heart Association related to saturated fat. The most salacious point in this statement has to do with coconut oil, specifically saturated fat in coconut oil. Thanks for listening, leaving a review, and sharing with a friend!
