In last week’s episode, I talked about how most of our fitness culture is based on a fundamentally flawed approach to getting in shape called the Method-based approach.
This week, I take a look at how fitness really does work, and why some people can seemingly do everything right and fall short. Meanwhile, there are those who get great results even though they still eat junk food and hardly train.
